3.
To lock the remote, press the two blue buttons simultaneously.

RAISING AND LOWERING THE BOAT
1.
Position the boat so that the boat’s center of gravity is between forward and rear support legs.
2.
Carefully raise the platform until the bunks “capture” the boat.
WARNING:
NEVER ALLOW PEOPLE IN THE BOAT ANY TIME IT IS SUSPENDED ABOVE THE WATER
ON THE LIFT.
3.
Keep fingers and clothing clear of all moving parts. Keep people clear during operation of the lift.
4.
Stop the lift again and check the stability of the lift. Ensure that it is remaining level and will not topple over.
5.
Continue lifting the boat, closely observing the position of the lift, until the platform is in the fully upright and over center
position.
6.
Remove the boat from the lift and check to see that the lift is still level. If not, the legs will have to be re-adjusted.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE LIFT TO LIMIT WAVE ACTION AGAINST THE
HULL. WAVE ACTION CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE LIFT AND/OR YOUR BOAT.
7.
Two weeks after installation, check to see that the lift is still level, as it may have settled over time. Readjust the legs as
described above and repeat this inspection and adjustment procedure at the frequency found necessary.
8.
After removing the boat from the lift, re-tighten the bunk bolts as required.

SECURING LIFT WHEN NOT IN USE
1.
Make the lift visible by leaving the platform in any elevated position when it is not loaded with a boat. This prevents the
lift from being a hidden underwater obstruction, and protects the bunks from prolonged water immersion.
2.
Lock out your control box to prevent unauthorized use when your boat lift is unattended. Never assume you will find the
lift in the same condition that you left it.
3.
When storing the boat on the lift, the following additional precautions must be observed:
a.
When storing the boat, the platform must be in the upright over center gravity lock position for maximum safety.
The over center position will prevent the boat from lowering if any hydraulic leak occurs.
b.
Position the boat on the platform so that the boat’s center-of-gravity is between the front lift arm and the rear foot
plates when in the down position.
c.
Prevent rainwater from accumulating in your boat when leaving it on the lift for long term storage. A boat that has
water in it from a rainstorm could exceed the recommended weight capacity of the lift.
Just 1 gallon of water
weighs over 8 pounds.
Be sure to remove the plug while the boat is up on the lift. Make sure you replace the plug
prior to launching your boat.
