4. Slowly raise the platform on the lift to see how well the bunks fit the boat hull. The bunks may need to be
moved in or out from the centerline of the platform depending on how well you positioned them beforehand.
Note that the bunks can be adjusted closer together at the front platform of the lift opposed to the rear as long
as you are not crossing a strake on the boat bottom. Otherwise, it is recommended that you place the bunks
just to the outside of a strake. This not only gives you good support but will also help you in centering your boat
on entry if the platform is properly positioned when the boat is removed for use.
5. Once the bunks are positioned to your boat, the motor stop must be positioned to fit the drive unit of your
boat. Slide the telescoping arms until the motor stop contacts the drive unit. Tighten in position.
CABLE ROUTING FOR 1500-15,000 LB. LEVEL LIFT PLATFORMS
The level cables installed in the aluminum level lift are made of stainless steel.
The platform is assembled as shown in the Diagram above. The component parts will vary depending on the
size lift but the concept is basically the same on all models.
Starting on the end of the cable that is attached to the Top Side Rail, the cable comes down, then under the
pulley as shown. The cable must be in the pulley groove and contained there by the cable retainer. It is
important that the cable does not come out of the pulley groove. Cable damage will occur if it does not have
the pulley diameter to route the cable around the bend. Manually raising the platform assembly on the top side
rail side of the lift only will cause slack in the level cables creating the possibility of the cables slipping out of
the pulley grooves.
The cable is then routed through the platform tube under the bushing located inside the platform tube to keep
the cable from rubbing on the top inside of the platform tube.
The cable is then routed in the pulley groove on the top side of the pulley on the winch tube side of the lift.
Again the cable retainer channel is used to keep the cable in the pulley groove. Note that this cable retainer is
located on the top side of the pulley while the one installed on the other end of the platform is positioned on the
bottom side of the pulley.
The cable is then routed down and attached to the bottom corner
cable bracket. The nuts used to attach the
cables on either end are made from brass so they can be easily removed in the event the cable has to be
replaced in the field.
NOTE
: Check the pulleys periodically to make sure they are turning. The pulleys
MUST TURN
at all times
when the platform is being raised or lowered to prevent damage to the pulleys and/or cables.
Should you have any questions regarding the cables and pulleys, contact your local
ShoreStation
dealer.
