If your remote will not work, first check to see that it is transmitting.  Do this by 

depressing any of the three buttons and watching to see that the red LED light is working.  

If so, then the next step is to re-program the receiver.

Programming Instructions

1. Push RC Unit to *ON*.

2. Push & release RED program switch 1 time.

3. Push transmitter *UP* button 3 times. (on third push, power unit should run).  If not repeat.

    (Repeat for each transmitter) 

(Note: To deprogram, hold RED program button for 5 seconds or more.

(TIP: if lights are activated, you will hear click when deprogammed).

• 

Use Sunfluid™ hydraulic fluid to replace any loss fluid in the hydraulic pump.

• 

Inspect and replace zincs if necessary.  If any Sunstream Product is used in salt or brackish water, the Purchaser 

   agrees that proper maintenance requires that the Purchaser shall attach, maintain, and regularly check sacrificial 

   anodes, also known as “zincs”, to the Product to prevent electrolysis and that failure to attach and maintain the 

   zincs constitutes “abuse”.*  

• 

Normal maintenance requires an annual inspection of the Product, including bolts, pins, hydraulics, pump, 

   electronics, and structural welds by a Sunstream employee or Sunstream dealer and failure to undertake such 

   maintenance may constitute “abuse.”  .  

• 

Be sure to prevent rainwater from accumulating in your boat if you plan to leave it on the lift for long term 

   storage.  Rainwater accumulating in your bilge can quickly increase your gross weight over the lift capacity. 

• 

At all times, raise the lift into the over-center, locked position.

• 

Adjust the height of the lift to limit wave action against the hull.  Excessive wave action may damage the lift 

   and can take the boat off the lift. 

• 

We recommend disconnecting the 

Powerpack

 and storing it indoors for the winter if you are not planning on 

   using the lift for prolonged periods.  To do this, simply disconnect the hoses from your Powerpack by using the 

   Quick Disconnects

 and connect the hoses together.  This will ensure that it will remain clean.   Only disconnect 

   the hoses when the lift is in the up position (cylinders retracted). 

Tip:

  If you have problems disconnecting the 

   hoses from the Powerpack, operate the pump up and down while attempting to disconnect the hose to relieve 

   the pressure.  Do not disconnect the hoses when lift is pressured against the upper or lower stops.

• 

For solar charged lifts booster-charge your battery using a 10A charger at the beginning and end of the season.   

   A mid-season boost may be required for heavy use.  A mid-season charge is also beneficial

• 

Check water cells in battery approximately every three months.

• 

If your waterway freezes during the winter, you will need to remove your FloatLift, as it will be damaged by 

   ice flow. 

• 

When storing the boat, the lift must be in the upright over center gravity lock position for maximum safety.    

   The over-center position will prevent the boat from lowering if you experience a hydraulic leak.

   Your FloatLift can be left in any position when not in use.  For prolonged periods, we recommend leaving the

   lift in the up position to prevent the bunks from becoming ‘slimy’.
