FIRST USE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Follow this “first use section” during your first loading of a boat onto the boat lift.
These are required adjustments to make the lift work correctly.
1.
Place the boat over the lift to the following specifications:
a. If your boat is an outboard, inboard/outboard, or V-drive, the transom should be 2 inches off of the ends of the bunk boards.
b. If your boat is a mid-engine or shaft-drive, the transom should be 12 to 24 inches off of the ends of the bunk boards.
Disembark and raise the boat. If more than two inches of settling occurs, STOP, carefully lower the lift to remove the
boat and re-level the lift. Continue repeating this step until the boatlift can be raised into the full Over - Center position
without settling.

3. Remove the boat. Verify that the lift frame is level. Re-level the framework if necessary.
NOTE:
If you purchase a new boat, be sure it is within the weight capacity limits of the lift. Also remember that
these adjustments will have to be done again to accommodate the new boat.
First test lift on dry ground for oil leaks, remote control function and correct operation.
2.
IMPORTANT:
After installation, the legs MUST be adjusted so that the lift frame is level.
Lift
must
move into Over-Center position when fully raised.
