MAINTENANCE & OFF-SEASON SUGGESTIONS
•
Use Sunfluid™ hydraulic fluid to replace any loss fluid in the hydraulic pump.
•
Inspect and replace zincs if necessary. If any Sunstream Product is used in salt or
brackish water, the Purchaser agrees that proper maintenance requires that the
Purchaser shall attach, maintain, and regularly check sacrificial anodes, also
known as “zincs”, to the Product to prevent electrolysis and that failure to attach
and maintain the zincs constitutes “abuse”.
•
Normal maintenance requires an annual inspection of the Product, including
bolts, pins, hydraulics, pump, electronics, and structural welds by a Sunstream
employee or Sunstream dealer and failure to undertake such maintenance may
constitute “abuse.”
•
Be sure to prevent rainwater from accumulating in your boat if you plan to leave
it on the lift for long term storage. Rainwater accumulating in your bilge can
quickly increase your gross weight over the lift capacity.
•
At all times, raise the lift into the over-center, locked position.
•
Adjust the height of the lift to limit wave action against the hull. Excessive wave
action may damage the lift and can take the boat off the lift.
•
We recommend disconnecting the
Powerpack and storing it indoors for the winter
if you are not planning on using the lift for prolonged periods. To do this, simply
disconnect the hoses from your Powerpack by using the
Quick Disconnects and
connect the hoses together. This will ensure that it will remain clean. Only
disconnect the hoses when the lift is in the up position (cylinders retracted).
Tip:
If you have problems disconnecting the hoses from the Powerpack,
operate the pump up and down while attempting to disconnect the hose to relieve
the pressure. Do not disconnect the hoses when lift is pressured against the upper
or lower stops.
•
For solar charged lifts, booster-charge your battery using a 10A charger at the
beginning and end of the season. A mid-season boost may be required for heavy
use. A mid-season charge is also beneficial.
•
Check water cells in battery approximately every three months.
•
If your waterway freezes during the winter, you will need to remove your
FloatLift, as it will be damaged by ice flow.
•
When storing the boat, the lift must be in the upright over center gravity lock
position for maximum safety. The over-center position will prevent the boat
from lowering if you experience a hydraulic leak.
Your FloatLift can be left in any position when not in use. For prolonged periods,
we recommend leaving the lift in the up position to prevent the bunks from
becoming ‘slimy’.
