WARNING:
HYDRAULIC CYLINDER HOSE FITTINGS MUST FACE UPWARDS TO AVOID DAMAGING
THE FITTINGS OR HOSES IF THEY CONTACT THE GROUND DURING OPERATION.
DAMAGE TO BOAT OR LIFT FROM SUDDEN LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID COULD
RESULT.
2.
Install stainless flat washer (24 and cotter pin (29) on each end of the clevis pin (6). Secure clevis pin by spreading
end of cotter pin apart and bending around clevis pin.

Ensure the hoses are routed under the side frame and away from any pinch point. Ensure that the hoses are not bent
at a sharp angle. Use UV stabilized nylon cable ties, (black zip ties) to attach the hoses to the lift frame. If the
optional light bar will be used, only attach hoses loosely at this time.
