INSTALLATION AND SETUP
3.1
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
1.
Do not assemble the lift if any part shows any sign of damage.
2.
Do not weld or otherwise modify the lift. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the lift and void the
warranty.
3.
All lifting accessories such as pontoon brackets, pivoting bunks, and guide-ons shall be commercially manufactured, and
be properly maintained and installed. Consult the manufacturer’s separate instructions provided for these accessories.
3.2
PRIOR TO SETUP
1.
The assembly instructions refer to the placement of components in terms of forward, rear, right-hand and left-hand. The
rear of the lift corresponds to the rear of the boat. The rear is also where the cylinders are placed.
2.
In choosing a place to assemble the lift, keep in mind the final placement of the lift. The lift may be placed on either side
of your dock and the boat must enter the rear of the lift.
3.
This product has been supplied with stainless steel hardware to protect against a harsh marine environment and
provide outstanding performance. Due to the chemistry and surface condition of stainless steel, there is a natural
tendency for the hardware to “gall, lock up, or seize” during assembly. To prevent this from occurring, it is
highly
recommended
that the anti-seize supplied in the hardware bag be applied to the mating surfaces of all stainless
steel fasteners before assembly. Lubricants containing molybdenum disulfide, graphite, mica or talc may also be
used.
CAUTION:
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM TORQUE RATING ON ALL BOLTS OF 20 FT-LBS.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO APPLY A SUITABLE LUBRICANT TO THE MATING SURFACES OF
STAINLESS STEEL THREADED FASTENERS MAY CAUSE GALLING AND/OR SEIZING OF
ASSEMBLY.
