LIFTING CAPABILITIES
The lift system is an electromechanical device designed to lift various types of mobility devices for the
purpose of vehicle transport. The Outlander is designed for a maximum Class II hitch allowance of 190
lbs. (86.18 kg), a maximum Class III hitch allowance of 350 lbs. (158.75 kg), and a maximum Class IV
hitch allowance of 380 lbs. (172.36 kg). Under no circumstances should the lift system be made to exceed
this weight limit. Subjecting the lift system to the strain of hoisting more than it is designed to lift may
cause it to fail, resulting in damage to the mobility device and/or injury to the lift operator. Refer to the
mobility device owner’s manual for information on the overall weight of the mobility device before lifting.
WARNING! Adding accessories, oversize batteries, or a different seat will increase the
weight of your mobility device. Verify with your authorized Silver Star Provider that the
total weight of your mobility device, including additions, does not exceed the maximum
hitch allowance.
INSTALLATION
The lift system is designed to be mounted to a vehicle hitch system. Before lift installation, ensure that the
hitch shows no signs of rust or wear and that the front and rear vehicle suspension is acceptable. If any
vehicle alterations are necessary, make sure that you fully understand the instructions for drilling or cutting
before making any alterations.
WARNING! Before drilling or cutting into the vehicle, make absolutely certain through
visual inspection that there are no obstructions in the path of the drill bit, such as the
fuel tank, exhaust pipes, or electrical wires.
LIFTING NON-PRIDE PRODUCTS
The 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 lift
system may be put. Lifting non-Pride products with the 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 lift system, inspect 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.
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 to avoid the potential for injury.
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 lift system. Make sure the vehicle emergency park brake is engaged before loading or
unloading a mobility device.
