LIFTING CAPABILITIES  
The Backpacker Lift System is designed for a maximum lifting capacity of 325 lbs. (147 kg). Under no  
circumstances should the Backpacker 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 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 Pride Provider that the total  
weight of your mobility device, including additions, does not exceed 325 lbs. (147 kg).  
INSTALLATION  
Your Backpacker Lift System is an inside van lift designed for installation into various brands of 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 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 Backpacker  
Lift System may be put. Lifting non-Pride products with the Backpacker 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 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.  
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 Backpacker Lift System. Make sure the vehicle emergency park brake is engaged before  
loading or unloading a mobility device.

WARNING! Release the “DOWN” button when the lift platform touches the ground. Do not  
allow the motor to run after the lift platform has touched the ground. Allowing the motor to  
run will increase the pressure on the lift platform and may result in product or vehicle  
damage.  
Wiring Harness Installation  
The wiring harness is approximately 25 ft. (7.62 meters) long and will accommodate most vehicles.  
NOTE: You may wish to perform a practice run before installing the wiring harness. Route a piece of  
light rope (equivalent to the gage of the wiring harness) along the anticipated path observing contact  
points, potential rubbing/chafing points, and any sharp edges. Remove sharp edges with a fine grade  
file, then treat the steel with a rust inhibitor or metal sealant.  
Follow these steps to route the Backpacker wiring harness:  
1. Route the lift system wiring harness (starting at the lift) through the interior of the vehicle until you reach the  
vehicle battery. See figure 5.  
WARNING! Avoid routing the wire harness where it will interfere with or become pinched  
by the securement system floor plates.  
2. Conceal the harness behind or under the interior panels (there should be existing holes). Be certain that the  
harness is protected with a rubber grommet when passing it through the metal panels and into the engine  
compartment.  
3. Inside the engine compartment, secure the harness to the firewall and the inner fender with plastic wire ties. Use  
care not to cause abrasions to the wiring harness. It is important to secure the wiring harness at various points  
along its run of the vehicle.  
WARNING! Do not cut or shorten the wiring harness. If the harness is too long, coil the  
excess wire and secure it with plastic wire ties.  
4. Remove the 15-amp fuse from the wiring harness. See figure 5.  
5. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal and the black (grounding) wire to the negative (-) terminal

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the prob-  
lems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems  
occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer  
hold a charge.  
What if the motor on my lift system will not operate?  
! Make sure the onboard battery or vehicle battery is fully charged.  
! Make sure all connections to the motor and battery are secure.  
! Check the wiring harness for signs of wear or decay. Replace the harness if necessary.  
What if the lift system operates slowly up or down?  
! Make sure the onboard battery or vehicle battery is fully charged.  
! Make sure all connections to the motor and battery are secure.  
! Check the wiring harness for signs of wear or decay. Replace the harness if necessary.  
What if the lift platform does not lower completely to the ground?  
Check to make sure that the area under the lift platform is free from obstructions.
