General:
Boat lift is a means to lift a boat (motor boat or the like) when loading to or from a boat trailer on land. The
lift may not be used for other purposes.
To avoid accidents, it is imperative that you read and follow the safety instructions and all other instructions
below.
Safety Instructions:
ATTENTION!
Risk of serious injury exists if the instructions below are not followed !!
Only someone with full knowledge of the lift must work with this
Make sure no unauthorized persons and especially children staying nearby for work in progress
Staying not close and especially not during a boat elevating / suspended load
Perform all lifting motion slowly, cautiously and with good control
Always pull the vehicle's parking brake when the car is parked with the trailer attached
Hand brake on the trailer also drawn to and / or place stop blocks in front and behind the trailer
wheels to prevent rolling during the lifting operation
Check that the lift all parts and the lift belt with its seams are in good condition before use
Store the boat lift but above all the lifting belt protected from sunlight and moisture
Make sure that the lifting belt hanging down in the line between the lift poles when the lift begins.
Check again when the boat starts to move upwards
When lifting the boat's front part shall the lift belt be placed where the keel part is not tilted up to
prevent the sling from sliding forward. Also the rounding sides of boat's bow may be avoided. Use
"draw ropes" from the boat's stern corners to lift the belt on each side of the boat if the boat's
shape allows the lifting strap at risk of sliding sideways
The movement of the trailer must be done manually after being disconnected from the vehicle's
tow hook, when the boat is in the raised position. The trailer wheels must not touch the lift when it
is rolled forward or backward
When lifting the boat must always the boats other end (bow or stern) be firmly anchored. E.g. the
stern resting on a steady trestle when the bow is lifted or that the bow is attached to the trailer
when the stern is lifted. The cars / trailers hand brake is always engaged and / or trailer wheels
fixed with blocks
The lift may not lean either sideways, forward or backward. Checked this before lifting takes
place, but also occasionally during lifting. Check with a spirit level against respectively pole.
The boat lift must never be used for lifting over 1500 kg
The ground must be flat and even where the lift is located
