INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 

 

5.1 

 

GENERAL MAINTENANCE RULES 

 

1. 

 

Do not allow persons other than authorized service personnel to repair this equipment. 

 

2. 

 

Completely lower the platform before performing any type of maintenance or repair. 

 

WARNING:

NEVER ALLOW ANYBODY TO WORK IN OR ON THE BOAT WHEN IT IS SUSPENDED
ABOVE THE WATER ON THE LIFT.

 

 

WARNING:

BEFORE STARTING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE LIFT, DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT
THE POWER SUPPLY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL OPERATION.

 

 

3. 

 

Immediately replace any components found to be defective. 

 

CAUTION:

POOR OR IMPROPER MAINTENANCE CAN LEAD TO EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR
FAILURE.

 

 

4. 

 

Do not weld or otherwise modify the lift.  Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the lift and invalidate 
your warranty. 

 

5.2 

 

BATTERY MAINTENANCE 

 

1.

 

Use a 12-volt, group 27 marine deep-cycle battery with a minimum of 500 CCA, or with a reserve capacity of 160 amp 
hours or more. We recommend the following batteries: U.S. Battery Model 27 TMX, Trojan Battery Model 27 TMX or 
Rolls Battery Engineering Model 27112XJM. Reserve capacity is the most important feature. 

 

2.

 

The lift has an energy capacity of about 20 full cycles using a new battery with a reserve capacity of 160 amp hours.  
However, avoid dipping below 50% battery capacity because the solar panel will have trouble recovering from such a 
deep draw. For constant usage, we recommend usage of the optional AC charger connected to the battery on a full time 
basis. 

 

3.

 

The following table lists maximum monthly full lifting cycles (down and up), using a single solar panel, to keep the 
battery capacity at a steady state energy level.  The capacity of the battery will allow for additional cycles for any 
particular month.  The values assume all-day exposure with typical seasonal weather.
