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.
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.
4.
All lifting accessories such as bunks and guide ons, shall be commercially manufactured, have a rated load capacity
equal to that of the lift, and be properly maintained and installed. Consult the manufacturer’s separate instructions
provided for these accessories.
WARNING:
ALL ELECTRIC DRIVES MUST BE INSTALLED AND INSPECTED BY A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. THIS
INSTALLATION MUST INCLUDE A PROPERLY WORKING GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER. (G.F.C.I.)
