specified for the lift. SEE PAGE 14.
Passengers should stand clear of the lift and not
be aboard when the lift is in operation.
Do not play on or near the lift.
Leave your automatic bilge pump turned on the
automatic setting to prevent the accumulation of
rain water.
Service your lift regularly.
Do not service the unit with the boat on the lift.
Use a mooring line for additional security.
Only use Basta Marine approved oil in lift.
Special biodegradable non-toxic hydraulic fluid
Visually inspect all parts and assemblies for
defects and damage prior to assembling the
lift.
Do not install the lift alone.
Install the lift on firm and level ground.
Verify the lower frame of the lift is level
before each use.
Turn the power off during periods of non-use.

FIRST USE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Follow this “first use section” during your first loading of a boat onto the boat lift.
These are required adjustments to make the lift work correctly.
1. Place the boat over the lift to the following specifications:
a. If your boat is an outboard, inboard/outboard, or V-drive, the transom should be 2 inches off of the ends of the bunk boards.
b. If your boat is a mid-engine or shaft-drive, the transom should be 12 to 24 inches off of the ends of the bunk boards.
Disembark and raise the boat. If more than two inches of settling occurs, STOP, carefully lower the lift to remove the
boat and re-level the lift. Continue repeating this step until the boatlift can be raised into the full Over - Center position
without settling.
tm
3. Remove the boat. Verify that the lift frame is level. Re-level the framework if necessary.
NOTE: If you purchase a new boat, be sure it is within the weight capacity limits of the lift. Also remember that
these adjustments will have to be done again to accommodate the new boat.
First test lift on dry ground for oil leaks, remote control function and correct operation.
2.
IMPORTANT: After installation, the legs MUST be adjusted so that the lift frame is level.
Lift must move into Over-Center position when fully raised.

Your Basta Boatlift requires very little maintenance once installed.
Occasionally wipe the solar panel with a clean, damp cloth to preserve its charging performance.
Every 6 months, we recommend:
Verify that the lift frame is level and adjust the legs as necessary.
Inspect the hoses, cylinders and fittings for leaks and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
Check the wire terminals for snugness and corrosion.
Check the battery and oil levels:
The battery electrolyte in a flooded cell type battery should be slightly above the indicator
ring in each cell. Carefully add DISTILLED water if necessary. Do not over-fill.
AGM type batteries are sealed and do not require maintenance.
The hydraulic fluid level should be about one inch below the top of the reservoir with the lift DOWN.
DO NOT add fluid with the lift in the raised position!
Use only Basta approved fluid. We recommend Chevron Clarity® AW ISO 32 hydraulic fluid.
TM
these dimensions vary with bunk adjustment
*
c. The height of the bunks should be adjusted to contact the hull for as long a distance as practical with the
boat’s keel resting on the keel blocks.. The bunks should be placed as widely as possible to provide
stability, while avoiding anything protruding from the hull.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS AND FAQ TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS AND FAQ
Q: THE PUMP DOESN’T RUN
A: Check the battery charge and recharge if necessary.
A: Check the battery connections, clean and re-secure
if necessary.
Q: THE BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE
A: Verify that the loaded boat is not exceeding the weight
capacity of the lift. If the battery is a flooded-cell type,
check the electrolyte level.
A: Ensure the solar panel is properly connected.
A: Re-align the solar panel for proper exposure to the sun.
A: Recharge the battery with a 10 amp charger and
check the charge again.
A: Have the battery tested. It may be old and
require replacement.
A: If the lift is being used frequently during the day, it
may be necessary to use a 110-volt maintainer/charger.
Q: THE REMOTE CONTROL IS NOT FUNCTIONING
A:
A: Verify that the power unit battery is charged and connections are tight.
A: Reprogram the remote key fobs.
Q: HOW DOES THE REMOTE CONTROL WORK?
Q: DOES THE LIFT HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY UP?
A: YES - in order for your lift to function as intended the lift
must ALWAYS be stored in the full upright position when
the boat is unattended.
Q: IS MY BOAT SECURE?
A: Yes, once you verify that the lift is Over-Center , switch
off the power and lock the power unit box, there is less
chance of theft.
™
Q: DO I NEED A MOORING LINE?
A: Under most circumstances one mooring line is sufficient
to prevent the boat from drifting away if the lift is
inadvertently lowered or the water level rises.
Q: HOW MUCH SUN DOES THE SOLAR PANEL NEED?
A: The panel should receive constant sun for at least 8 hours a day.
Q: WHAT IF I GET A NEW BOAT?
A: Re-leveling the boat lift may be necessary. A new lift
will be required if the boat exceeds the weight capacity
of your current lift.
Q: THE PUMP RUNS, BUT THE LIFT DOESN’T MOVE
A: Check the 'quick couplers' in the Power Unit. If they are not
screwed together tight enough, built-in check valves will
not allow fluid to flow. See Page 10.
A: Check the fluid level. See Page 10.
Q: IS THE HYDRAULIC FLUID SAFE FOR THE FISH?
A: We use a special low-toxicity hydraulic fluid that is safe
for the environment. This fluid is different than food-grade
oil. Only use Basta Boatlifts approved fluid in your
hydraulic system.
Q: HOW DO I CHANGE THE HYDRAULIC FLUID?
A: Our fluid should not require replacement for a considerable
amount of time. If yours has been contaminated or the
hydraulic power unit has been replaced, visit our web site at
www.gobasta.com for detailed instructions.
POWER-UP
At power-up the remote fob function has a ten second delay.
Failure to wait for this ten seconds can make the wait time much
longer.
LIFT OPERATION
The remote fob is non-functional until it is enabled by
depressing the lower right unlock button momentarily. After
the initial ten second delay, depressing the unlock button enables
operation using the remote fob. The lockout is re-enabled after
60 seconds without a button press.
Lift operation using the fob is limited to 120 seconds of
continuous operation. If a longer cycle is needed it is necessary
to release and then re-depress the button.
LOW BATTERY LOCKOUT
This control incorporates a low voltage lockout which is
intended to protect the battery from abuse and over-discharge.
When the battery drops below the low battery threshold during
pump operation, further activation using the Fob is not allowed.
The battery needs to be checked prior to further operation. The
manual switches will allow the lift to operate if sufficient battery
power is present.
FOB PROGRAMMING
At initial power up there is a five second window when it is
possible to reprogram the receiver to enroll a remote fob. Up to
four fobs may be enrolled. If a fifth fob is enrolled, the first
enrolled fob will fall off the list.
To enroll a fob, turn off the power to the lift for fifteen or more
seconds. When power is turned back on press both the UP and
DOWN buttons on the fob simultaneously. This must be done
within the first five seconds after power is applied.
LIGHTING CIRCUIT
The lighting circuit is activated whenever the lift is operated. The
lights stay on for 2 minutes after the lift is operated
The lights may be manually turned on or off by depressing the
lower left button on the remote Fob. When manually enabled the
lights will automatically turn off after 4 minutes. This is prevents
accidental battery discharge.
STORAGE
Always leave the boat in the fully raised, Over-Center™
position with the power off.

The battery in the key fob transmitter may be low. Replace it with a
