DAMAGE THE LIFT AND/OR BOAT RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.
THE BOAT MUST BE PROPERLY POSITIONED ON THE LIFT BEFORE DOING ANY
RAISING OR LOWERING. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

4.2
TESTING WINCH OPERATION
After the lift installation is complete, it is important that the winch functions properly. Test the winch operation as follows:
1.
Raise the empty platform about one fourth of the way up and release the handwheel. The handwheel or power drive
must turn clockwise when raising the platform. The brake pawl must click, indicating that the brake is operative. An
empty platform will have a normal tendency to slowly lower itself.
CAUTION:
IF YOU HAVE TO TURN THE HANDWHEEL COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO RAISE THE
PLATFORM, YOU HAVE REEVED THE WINCH INCORRECTLY. YOU WILL
IMMEDIATELY ENCOUNTER STRONG RESISTANCE WHICH CAN LEAD TO WINCH
DAMAGE AND/OR CABLE BREAKAGE.
2.
Repeat Step 1 in the half, three-quarters, and full lift positions.
3.
Lower the empty platform to repeat steps 1 and 2 with your boat on the lift. The handwheel or power drive must turn
counter-clockwise when lowering the platform. When loaded, the self-activating brake mechanism should stop the
platform from lowering as soon as the operator stops turning the handwheel. Make sure this brake mechanism is
operative.
WARNING:
IF THE HANDWHEEL STARTS TO FREELY SPIN DOWN FROM ANY LOADED TEST
POSITION, NEVER TRY TO STOP IT. DO NOT USE A LIFT IN THIS CONDITION.
