Always carefully review complete
manual before any assembly or use of
the product. Improper use or failure
to follow instructions or warnings in
manual can cause property damage,
serious injury, or death.
Always use AGM batteries and follow battery manufacturer’s
warnings and instructions. Improper use, or use of other
batteries, have the potential to produce flammable hydrogen
gas which can result in serious injury or death.
DANGER
Your Basta Boatlift requires very little maintenance once installed.
Occasionally wipe the solar panel with a clean, damp cloth to preserve its charging performance.
Every 6 months, we recommend:
Inspect the hoses, cylinders and fittings for leaks and wear.
Check the wire terminals for snugness and corrosion.
We
STRONGLY
recommend the use of a maintenence - free AGM type battery.
In a flooded cell type battery, the electrolyte should be slightly above the indicator ring in each cell.
Carefully add DISTILLED water if necessary. Do not over-fill.
Check the hydraulic fluid level.
The hydraulic fluid level should be about one inch below the top of the reservoir with the lift DOWN.
DO NOT add fluid with the lift in the raised position!
Use only Basta Boatlifts biodegradable non-toxic hydraulic fluid.
INSPECT
the lift monthly
for frayed hoses, loose
fasteners and corrosion
WARNING
REMOTE CONTROL INFORMATION:
Q: HOW MUCH SUN DOES THE SOLAR PANEL NEED?
The panel should receive constant sun for at least 8 hours a day.
Q: IS THE HYDRAULIC FLUID SAFE FOR FISH?
We use a special low-toxicity hydraulic fluid that is safe for the
environment. This mineral oil based fluid is different than food-grade
oil. Only use Basta Boatlifts approved fluid in your hydraulic system.
Q: HOW DO I CHANGE THE HYDRAULIC FLUID?
Our fluid should not require replacement for a considerable amount
of time. If yours has been contaminated or the hydraulic power unit
has been replaced, visit our web site at
www.gobasta.com
for
detailed instructions.
POWER-UP
At power-up the remote fob function has a ten second delay. Failure to
wait for this ten seconds can make the wait time much longer.
LIFT OPERATION
The remote fob is non-functional until it is enabled by depressing
the unlock (lower right) button momentarily.
After the initial ten
second delay, depressing the unlock button enables operation using
the remote fob. The lockout is re-enabled after 60 seconds without a
button press.
Lift operation using the fob is limited to 120 seconds of continuous
operation. If a longer cycle is needed it is necessary to release and
then re-depress the button.
STANDARD POWER UNIT FOB PROGRAMMING
At initial power up there is a five second window when it is possible to
reprogram the receiver to enroll a remote fob. Up to four fobs may be
enrolled. If a fifth fob is enrolled, the first enrolled fob will fall off the list.
To enroll a fob, turn off the power to the lift for fifteen or more seconds.
When power is turned back on press both the UP and DOWN buttons
on the fob simultaneously. This must be done within the first five
seconds after power is applied.
DUAL POWER UNIT FOB PROGRAMMING
The control unit contains
two separate lift control computers. Up to four
fobs may be enrolled for each lift. If a fifth fob is enrolled, the first
enrolled fob will fall off the list.
In addition to the 15 amp master fuse, each computer has its own 5
amp fuse.
The lift attached to the Quick Disconnect fittings labeled
“1” below is contolled by Switch 1 and powered by Fuse 1.

IF THE PUMP DOESN’T RUN :
IF THE BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE:
1. Verify that the loaded boat is not exceeding the weight capacity of
the lift. If the battery is a flooded-cell type, check the electrolyte
level.
2. Ensure the solar panel is properly connected.
3. Re-align the solar panel for proper exposure to the sun.
4. Recharge the battery with a 10 amp charger and check the
charge again.
5. Have the battery tested. It may be old and require replacement.
6. If the lift is being used frequently during the day, it may be
necessary to use a 110-volt maintainer/charger.
IF THE REMOTE CONTROL IS NOT FUNCTIONING:
IF THE PUMP RUNS, BUT THE LIFT DOESN’T MOVE:
1. Check the 'quick couplers' in the Power Unit.
If they are not
screwed together tight enough, the built-in check valves will not
allow fluid to flow.
See Pages 4 & 6.
2. Check the fluid level. See Pages 4 & 6.
1. The battery in the key fob transmitter may be low. Replace it with a
new lithium CR2032. These are widely available at variety, hardware
and even grocery stores. Polarity is marked on the battery holder.
2. Verify that the power unit battery is charged and connections are
tight.
3. Reprogram the remote key fobs.
1. Check the battery charge and recharge if necessary.
2. Check the battery connections, clean and re-secure if necessary.
LIGHTING CIRCUIT
The lighting circuit is activated whenever the lift is operated. The
lights stay on for 2 minutes after the lift is operated and may be
manually operated by depressing the lower left button on the remote
Fob. When manually enabled the lights will automatically turn off
after 4 minutes. This is prevents accidental battery discharge.
STORAGE
Always leave the boat in the fully raised, Over-Center™ position with
the power off.
TM
LOW BATTERY LOCKOUT
This control incorporates a low voltage lockout which is intended to
protect the battery from abuse and over-discharge. When the battery
drops below the low battery threshold during pump operation, further
activation using the fob is not allowed. The battery needs to be
checked prior to further operation. The manual switches will allow
the lift to operate if sufficient battery power is present.
To enroll a fob for Lift 1, turn off the power to the lift for at least fifteen
seconds. Remove the fuse for
Lift 2
( indicated by a colored cable tie
installed next to the fuse holder).Turn the power back on and within 5
seconds press both the UP and DOWN buttons on the fob
simultaneously. Turn the power off and repeat for the next fob.
Replace the fuse for Lift 2 when done.
At power up there is a five second window when it is possible to
reprogram the unit to enroll a remote fob.
While enrolling the fobs for
one lift, the computer for the other lift must be disabled by
unplugging its fuse.
To enroll a fob for Lift 2, turn off the power to the lift for at least fifteen
seconds. Remove the fuse for
Lift 1
( NO cable tie installed next to the
fuse holder).Turn the power back on and within 5 seconds press both
the UP and DOWN buttons on the fob simultaneously. Turn the power
off and repeat for the next fob. Replace the fuse for Lift 1 when done.
