After all connections use
a 10 mm wrench to adjust
and straighten if necessary.
Step 1 - Lift Cradle Positioning
Lower the boat lift cradle to its lowest position until there is no
tension on the cable. Secure boat with rope so it doesn’t float away.
Step 2 - Removing the Wheel & Braking System
To remove the wheel from the boat lift, first remove the fastener
from the center of the wheel. Turn the wheel counterclockwise until
it unthreads from the winch box.
Remove 7/8” washer from winch input shaft and save for future use
if a hand wheel is required.
Unbolt and remove the ratchet pawl (This makes the clicking sound
when raising the lift).
This is the current braking system on the winch box and MUST
be removed or damage may occur. Boat Lift Boss
™
has a built-in
braking system.
Step 3 - Installing Boat Lift Boss
™
Slide the aluminum space on to the winch box input shaft.
Apply Loctite
®
to the threads on the winch box input shaft. Thread
the tapered drive shaft to lift and hand tighten.
Push the Boat Lift Boss
™
drive on to the tapered shaft.
Secure by using the 3/8” x 2-3/4” bolt (0.95cm x 6.98cm), lock
washer and 3/8” x 1-1/4” (0.95cm x 3.17cm) diameter thick fender
washer.
Hand tighten with 3/8” (0.95cm) ratchet and 9/16” (1.42cm) socket to
approximately 20 foot lbs of torque (2.76 kgF)
(Do not over tighten.)
Reinstall the black rubber plug.
Step 4 - Final Connections & Adjustments
Install torque arm to the Boat Lift Boss™ bracket and lower right
corner of the lift box and to the tear drop bracket as shown.
Note: On some models, a 3/8” (0.95cm) hole may need to be drilled
to fasten the bottom of the arm to the bottom right of the winch box.
Check fasteners and make final adjustments.
Attention:
At this time it is important to check that lifting can only be done
when the gear head goes in a clockwise direction. Attempting to
lift in a counter-clockwise direction may unscrew the unit from the
winch box, causing serious damage or injury. If you have questions
or do not understand this procedure -STOP- and call the Boat
