Installation - Pride Mobility Products Commander 400 Série Mode D'emploi

LIFTING CAPABILITIES
Refer to the product specification sheet for maximum weight capacity. Under no circumstances should
the lift system be made to exceed this weight limit. Subjecting the lift system to the strain of lifting more
that it is designed to may cause it to fail, resulting in damage to the mobility product and/or injury to
the lift operator. Refer to the mobility product specifications for information on the overall weight of the
mobility product before lifting with the lift system.
WARNING! Exceeding the maximum lift capacity of the lift system may cause the lift system to fail, resulting
in damage to the mobility product and/or injury to the lift operator. Refer to the product specifications for the
maximum weight capacity
MANDATORY! Adding accessories, oversize batteries, or a different seat will increase the weight of your
mobility device. Verify with your authorized Pride Provider that the total weight of your mobility device, including
additions, DOES NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity as stated in the product specification.

INSTALLATION

Your lift system is an exterior-rated lift designed for installation into vehicles. Read and fully understand
the installation instructions provided in this manual and related literature for your brand of vehicle before
installing the lift system. The distance between the top of the boom-arm and mobility product should not
exceed 50 in. (127 cm) when the boom-arm is fully extended.
WARNING! Before drilling or cutting into the vehicle, make absolutely certain through visual inspection that
there are no obstructions, such as the fuel tank, exhaust pipes, or electrical wires, in the path of the drill bit.
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. Operating the lift system outside of the safe limits as discussed in this manual
or using the lift system to lift any item deemed by Pride to be incompatible 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 Commander Series 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 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.
Inspect the lifting strap of the lift system before every use for twisting, fraying, and signs of wear. If signs
of wear become evident, have the strap replaced by your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! A frayed or work lifting strap can snap, resulting in damage to the mobility product being lifted and
injury to the lift operator.
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.
Keep hands clear of the lifting strap while the lift system is lifting/lowering a mobility product. 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 a raised mobility product.
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.
WARNING! Attempting to lift a mobility product when a vehicle is not on level ground will cause the mobility
product to swing forward or away from the vehicle, making it difficult to get the mobility product into the vehicle.
