Your Backpacker MV Lift System is an inside SUV lift designed for installation into various brands of SUVs, full-
sized and mini vans. Read and fully understand the installation instructions provided in this manual and related
literature for your brand of vehicle before installing the lift system.
LIFTING NON-PRIDE PRODUCTS
The Backpacker MV Lift System is an extremely versatile device which users may employ to lift items other than
Pride products. Pride has no control over such use, nor can Pride anticipate every possible use to which a Back-
packer MV Lift System may be put. Lifting non-Pride products with the Backpacker MV Lift System is done at
the operator’s own risk, and Pride accepts no liability for damage or injury resulting from such use.
PRELIFT INSPECTION
Before operating the Backpacker MV Lift System, conduct a careful survey of your surroundings to ensure that
the lift system has a clear path of operation. Remove any possible obstructions before operating the lift and do not
allow children to operate or play near the lift. Ensure that all parts of the lift system are completely fastened before
loading the mobility device onto the lift platform, and make sure the mobility device is properly secured before
operating the lift system.
OPERATOR POSITIONING
The operator of the lift should stand a safe distance from the unit being lifted/lowered to ensure that his/her
feet are never positioned under the raised lift platform. The operator should also keep his/her hands clear of the lift
system during operation.
TRANSPORT VEHICLE POSITIONING
Be sure your vehicle is parked on flat, level ground before attempting to load, lift, or remove a mobility
device with the Backpacker MV Lift System. Make sure the vehicle emergency park brake is engaged before
