STEP 9
.
Bolt the four diagonal braces
(REF. # 14)
into the four bottom corners of the lift by placing a 3/8” X 3”
bolt and washer
(REF. # 16 & 21)
thru the round hole of the brace and into the hole of the bottom cross tube and
finger tighten with washer & nut
(REF. # 21 & 23).
Place a 3/8” X 1 1/4” carriage bolt
(REF. # 17)
thru the square
hole in the tab on the upright tube and through the slotted hole of the brace, secure with 3/8” washers and nuts
(REF.
# 21 & 23)
. Tighten bottom bolts at this time. Check to see if the side upright tubes are parallel with each other.
Adjust if necessary by loosening the top bolt and pushing in or pulling out on the tube. When adjusted correctly,
tighten the top bolts of the braces.
STEP 10
. Place the 2” square caps onto the three uprights that don’t have the winch on them and the stub with the
gusset under it on the winch side. When placing lift in the lake, you must level the lift as close as possible for the lift
to operate correctly. When tightening your set screws, finger tighten until tight and then tighten 2 ½ to 3 ½ turns after
you start feeling resistance with a wrench. When raising your boat, check and see if the bed is raising evenly and that
all cables have about the same tension. If the lift bed is coming up crooked, check the lift for levelness. If the lift is
not level remove the boat and adjust the leveling legs to level it. Check the tension of the cables after the bed has had
weight on it and been raised and lowered a few times. If there is excess slack in any of the cables tighten the nut on
that cable.
