Assembly Instructions:
The Lifter-2 ships in fully assembled form. However, the lifter can easily be disassembled. Refer to the exploded parts
diagram and bill of materials on p. 3, and then:
1. Disconnect the hook (on the winch cable) from the deck (5);
2. Remove the upright (2) from the base (1). Loosen the 4-handle bolt (18) and then lift the upright out of the
opening in the base.
3. Unfasten the jib (26) from the upright (2). The jib fastens to the upright by means of two clevis pins (10). Pull
the cotter pins (12) out of the clevis pins; then remove the clevis pins and separate the jib and the upright.
[NOTE: Reinstall the clevis pins in the bracket at the top of the upright and reinstall the clevis pins to prevent
the pins from being lost.]
4. Unpin the legs. Remove the (four) outer clevis pins that fasten the legs (3 & 4) to the base. Each pin is
secured in place with a hitch pin underneath the base. Each leg should still be fastened to the base.
5. Store the disassembled lifter in a location where it will remain dry.
