Congratulations on acquiring your new Paradise boatlift system!
We are proud to introduce our line of Paradise hydraulic boatlifts.
These lifts are built with the highest quality 6061-T6 marine grade aluminum and
stainless steel hardware. All non-adjustable components are welded to ensure ease of installation
and to reduce the chance of components loosening. The stainless steel cylinder and patented
“retracted when up” conguration ensures the maximum cylinder life by preventing rod pitting/
corrosion and increasing seal life which is the most common source of failure on hydraulic lifts.
Our hydraulic uid is non-toxic and biodegradable so you do not need to worry about
environmental harm. We hope you enjoy your Paradise Hydraulic Boatlift!

Always read and obey all safety messages and instructions when assembling, installing or
operating the boat lifting system. Boatlifts are heavy equipment that pose major hazards. Your
safety is of utmost importance so if there is any misunderstanding with information contained in
this manual, please contact your dealer or the manufacturer. Important safety messaging will be
outlined as follows:
DANGER! Failure to follow instructions WILL result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! Failure to follow instructions CAN result in serious injury or death.
Failure to follow instructions/take appropriate actions COULD result in
serious injury, death, and/or property damage.
Note:
Paradise Dock & Lift Inc reserves the right to make changes to this product and manual at any time
without notice. This manual includes the latest information at the time it was printed and the product
was shipped. This manual should be kept available to whoever is using this product.
WARNING!
DANGER!
• Never allow any persons to go under or on
the lift particularly when it is operating or
supporting a load.
• All persons must stay clear of lift while the
lift is in operation.
• Never service a boatlift, boat or boatlift
accessory while the lift is supporting a load.
• Your lift system is not intended to support
people, never actuate the lift with people
on-board. Unload and load passengers only
when the boat is oating and not supported
by the lift.
• Never exceed the lift’s rated capacity. The
gross/loaded weight of your watercraft
should always be less than the lift capacity as
indicated on the serial plate.
• Only operate the system to lift the
watercraft, do not use the system for other
purposes or items.
• The lift should only be operated by adults or
under direct adult supervision. Anyone who
operates the lift must be fully aware of the
information outlined in this manual.
• Do not play on or around the lift.
• It is not possible for the manufacturer to
identify all hazards surrounding the site
assembly, installation and operation of a
lift system. Owners, dealers, and installers
must use good judgement to assess risk,
and make installation, maintenance, and
operation decisions: Do not operate in poor
conditions, when system is not level, or
when noticeable corrosion/damage/defects
are present.
• Failure to properly position boat on lift could
make the lift unstable.
• Keep long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry
away from any moving parts.
CAUTION!
STAY CLEAR! DO NOT RIDE LIFT!

Installation and assembly instructions provided
are intended for authorized Paradise Dock
& Lift dealers and installers. If you require
assistance, please contact Paradise Dock & Lift
to be put in contact with a dealer in your area
who can safely assemble and install this system.
An installer must determine if they have the
necessary experience, knowledge and skills to
safely assemble and install a lift system. If there
is any confusion, please contact Paradise Dock
& Lift. Improper assembly and/or installation
may cause a risk to property, safety or lift
functionality/reliability. A failure to correctly
follow assembly and installation instructions
constitutes a waiver of the installers rights
against Paradise Dock & Lift for subsequent
damages. The installation instructions
provided are not a warranty or guarantee, best
judgement must be used during installation.
Many boats (catamarans, v-hull, pontoon,
tritoon, etc) require custom supports and
bunk congurations. Any watercraft should
be supported as per boat manufacturer
recommendations and installers should contact
the boat manufacturer to verify. Incorrect and
inadequate support may result in boat damage.
Paradise Dock & Lift can not determine,
guarantee, warrant or take responsibility for
bunk/support congurations meeting each
manufacturers recommendation.
CAUTION!
• During the rst few operations of the lift, the
weight of the watercraft may cause the lift
to settle. Stay well away from the lift during
actuation until it is seen that the installation
is stable.
• The frame structure, welds, bolt and pin
conditions should be inspected for issues
such as corrosion and wear annually.
• Do not store items in the power pack box,
items may damage hydraulic and electrical
systems.
WARNING!
• Leave the lift in the fully “up over centre”
position during storage, this is the safest
position.
• Do not position the lift near areas where
people swim or dive frequently. When it is
lowered, swimmers may inadvertently hit
the lift causing injury.
• Ensure that the lift remains level within 2
inches. Out-of-level lift installations may be
unstable and increases the risk of capsizing
and injury.
• Never disconnect hydraulic hoses with a
watercraft on the lift.
• Never enter the lift while the boat is under
power. Glide in at a slow speed. The lift is
not designed to take large impacts from a
fast moving boat. Large impacts may cause
damage to the lift.
• It is recommended that the lift be partially
raised out of the water if people are
swimming in the vicinity. Use the remote to
raise the lift when departing so swimmers
can see the location of the boat lift.
