STEP ONE
Position the floating transporter at the entrance of your
FLOE
lift system as pictured in
Fig. 1. Face transporter so that the attached tow cable is in the direction in which the lift will
be pulled.
Note: If your lift is on a trailer and being installed for the first time, have the lift positioned so that
you can back your trailer into the water and roll your lift off until it floats.
STEP TWO
Raise the lift bed to its maximum height, and position the transporter within the lift
(Fig. 2). Typically, the side of your lift that has either a winch, hydraulic system, or a VSD
motor is heavier.
TO COMPENSATE:
If you have a lift with a winch, simply slide the Insta-Float Transporter off-center approximate-
ly 6” towards the heavy side.
If you have a hydraulic or VSD lift, position the transporter tight to the heavy side. Doing this
will keep the lift close to level while you float it into position.
Note: If you have a hydraulic lift and need additional bed height to fit the floating transporter between
the top and bottom beams, either manually lift the bed up higher, or use the transporter’s winch sys-
tem to raise it higher. With its handle facing outward, attach the winch transporter’s clamp to the
hydraulic assembly’s topmost beam and its hook to the cradle lift platform beam. You may also need
to do this when removing the transport system once the lift is installed.
STEP THREE
Lower the lifting bed down onto the aluminum framework of the transporter unit.
(Step 3/Fig. 3).
IMPORTANT WARNING
* IF YOU HAVE A WINCH MODEL LIFT, release all but one wrap of
cable from the lift winch drum (Fig. 4) before proceeding to Step 4.
* IF YOU HAVE A VSD POWERED LIFT, lower the lifting bed as low
as possible (until it is stopped by the limit switch).
* IF YOU HAVE A HYDRAULIC POWER LIFT, extend the hydraulic
cylinder to its maximum length before proceeding to Step 4.
WARNING: EXTENDING THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER MAY CAUSE THE LIFTING CABLE (LOCATED
AT THE END OF THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER) TO SLIP OUT OF THE UPPER PULLEY. IT IS IMPOR-
TANT THAT THIS LIFTING CABLE BE POSITIONED WITHIN THE PULLEY BEFORE RAISING THE PLAT-
FORM AGAIN.

THE ULTIMATE BOAT LIFT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL SYSTEM
FOR BOAT LIFTS USING TWO PRE-INSTALLED PAIRS OF FLOE’S
BOAT LIFT WHEEL KITS
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS
Failure to do so may result in damage to your lift system, personal injury, or death.
WARNING: Prior to using your “Insta-Float System,” it is recommended that the
canopy fabric be removed from your lift as potential problems could occur if winds
are present. (Note: Canopy frame/structure can remain attached.)
