Use and Maintenance Tips
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. Then check the lift battery since
the RC will not operate when the battery is low. If so, then the next step is to re-program the receiver.

x Use only Sunfluid™ hydraulic fluid to replace any loss fluid in the hydraulic pump.
x 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”.*
x 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.” .
x 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.
x At all times, raise the lift into the over-center, locked position.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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 for battery life
x Check water cells in battery approximately every three months.
x If your waterway freezes during the winter, you will need to remove your FloatLift, as it will be
damaged by ice flow.
x When storing the boat, the lift must be in the upright over center gravity lock position for maximum
safety. The over-center position will help to 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’.
