BACKPACKER LIFT SYSTEM INSTALLATION
WARNING! The Backpacker Lift System should be installed by an authorized service technician only.
WARNING! At least two people should lift the Backpacker into the rear of the vehicle. Use proper
lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your physical capability.
WARNING! Avoid pinch points! Do not hold the lift frame by the pivot points when installing the
Backpacker.
NOTE: Use only the supplied hardware to install the Backpacker Lift System.
Follow these steps for installation:
1. Install the Backpacker securement system to the vehicle. Refer to the installation instructions
supplied with the securement system.
NOTE: Securement systems vary depending on vehicle manufacturer. Pride recommends use of
only the securement system provided with the lift and that you follow any instructions provided
by the manufacturer for installation.
NOTE: If your Backpacker is equipped with caps, the caps can be removed if additional clearance
is needed.
2. Connect the lift system to a power source. See “Wiring Harness Installation.”
NOTE: The lift system is equipped with an optional onboard battery, refer to “Onboard Battery
Installation.”
3. Ensure that all mounting hardware is fully tightened once the lift has been centered and all required
clearances have been achieved.
NOTE: If there is not adequate clearance between the bumper and the platform frame, you may
need to install an end support bracket. Remove the Backpacker from the van and install the end
support bracket close to the rear door opening. Reinstall the lift into the vehicle, making sure
that the bolts protruding from the bottom plate of the Backpacker closest to the vehicle door
snap into the tapped holes on the top of the end support bracket.
NOTE: It may be required to trim the rear inside sill to achieve the adequate platform clearance
with the platform under load.
NOTE: Pay attention to the path of the lift platform during operation. Make sure the lift does
not rub against or interfere with the vehicle in any way. If you notice any contact between the
lift platform and the vehicle, stop lift operation immediately and contact your authorized Pride
Provider for assistance.
4. Run the Backpacker through an entire lift cycle. Lower the platform to the ground and raise the
platform to the fully stowed position in the vehicle. See IV. “Operation.”
NOTE: Ensure the yellow transit screw and washer have been removed from the front of the lift
and the rubber bushing has been installed before operation. See figures 1 and 2.
WARNING! Remove the transit screw and washer prior to lift operation. Failure to do so may result
in serious equipment damage.
