to which a Backpacker 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.
PRE-LIFT 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. 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 Lift System. Make sure the vehicle emergency park brake is engaged
before loading or unloading a mobility device.

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.

III. INSTALLATION
Figure 1. Transit Screw Removal
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.
WARNING! Route the wiring harness through
the vehicle rather than under the vehicle to
avoid coming in contact with sharp edges,
extreme temperatures, moving parts, and
roadway debris. Power shorts may occur if
wires come in contact with hot exhaust or
sharp edges.
WARNING! Never attach the wiring harness to
a secondary power source. Do not attempt to
use trailer wiring to power the lift system. The
wiring harness must be connected directly to
the vehicle battery.
Follow these steps to route the Backpacker Series
wiring harness:
1. Route the lift system wiring harness (starting at the
lift) through the interior of the vehicle. See figure 3.
