Bunks should also be angled
toward the
center of the platform.
NOTE: To enter
the dock hoist from the other end
– reverse the
bunk assembly.

SAFETY MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that your Shore Station hoist be
thoroughly inspected at least once each season:
1. Tighten all bolts.
2. Check pulleys and make sure they are all turning
freely.
3. Inspect all cables for fraying, wearing or
deteriorating. If any signs appear, replace cables.
4. Check frame thoroughly.
5. Check winch as per manufacturer’s specifications.
Safety Tips
“The best insurance policy
is saf
ety”
After the hoist installation is complete, it is important
to next check and see that the winch mechanism is
functioning properly. This is easily accomplished by
raising the empty platform about one-fourth the way
up and releasing your grasp on the lift handle. If the
winch is operating properly, the clutch brake will
automatically hold the platform at any position.
Perform this same test in the half, three-fourths and
full lift positions. Next, repeat this same procedure
with your boat on the hoist. If the lift handle begins to
freely spin down from any of these test positions, at
no time should you attempt to prevent it from doing
so. Such action could result in injury to arms and
hands. Instead simply let the platform spin down into
the water. Doing so will neither damage your hoist nor
your watercraft.
If for some reason your winch mechanism does not
function as described call your authorized Shore
Station dealer. Do not tamper with the winch
mechanism.
