Step 7:   

With the load now attached, press and hold the “Hoist Up” button.  Slowly take up slack in the 

wire cable until it becomes taut.  Keep tension on the wire cable during this process and make sure that the cable 
winds evenly across the drum.  Stop.  Recheck all lifting connections before proceeding to lift the load. 
 

Step 8:   

When sure that all the lifting connections are secure, slowly “Hoist Up” the load from the 

ground just high enough to clear the truck’s tailgate. 
 

Step 9:   

Press and hold the “Boom In” button to move the load onto the truck bed.  Use the “Hoist 

Down” button to keep the load low during the process.  Once the load is at the desired position, release the 
“Boom In” button to stop the lift arms. 
 

Step 10: 

Slowly lower the load onto the truck bed by pressing and holding the “Hoist Down” button.  Once the 

load is resting safely in the truck bed, disconnect the wire cable’s hoist hook from the load. 
 

Step 11: 

“Hoist Up” to rewind the wire cable on the winch spool.  DO NOT OVERWIND as this could damage 

the winch and/or wire cable.  Keep tension on the cable and apply tension to insure that it winds evenly.  This 
will allow the wire cable to rewind smoothly on the winch spool. 
 

Step 12: 

Return the lift arms to their parked position using the “Boom In” button. 

 

Step 13: 

Remove the remote control from the power jack and store it in a clean, dry, location. 

 

To prevent unauthorized use of the unit, never leave the truck unattended with the remote control in-

serted into the power jack.  Lock the remote control in the truck. 
 
Avoid pulls from angles, as this can damage the lift arms.  Continuous pulls at angles will also cause the wire 
cable to pile up at one end of the drum.  This can jam the wire cable and damage the winch and/or cable . 
 
 

Always maintain at least five (5) wraps of the wire cable on the winch drum, otherwise the wire cable 

drum fasteners will not withstand the load. 
 
 
 
 

Ezy-Lift Inspection & Maintenance 

 
Ezy-lift is designed to give years of carefree operation.  However, as with any mechanical product, periodic in-
spection and maintenance is required to keep the unit in its best operating condition. 
 
Here are a few tips that owners/operators should periodically perform to keep the unit in top condition.  Please 
review this information.  If you should have any questions please contact us during normal business hours, Cen-
tral Standard Time, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. 
 

INSPECTIONS 

 

Routinely check the screws at the gusset which attach and strengthen the cross arm assembly to side arms.  

Lifting vibration can cause these screws to loosen over time. 

Loose screws could result in the separation of the cross arm from the side arm(s) under load. 

Periodically check winch installation and lift arms to assure that all bolts are tight.
