W A R N I N G
(READ THIS SECTION FIRST)
HYDRAULIC LIFT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read all instructions and instruct all users about the proper operating procedures.
2. Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened properly before use.
3. Grease pins that have zerks yearly for enhanced performance.
4. Lift must be level with water line to operate properly.
5. Do not allow anyone to swim or play near the lift. Keep everyone clear during operation of the lift.
6. Hydraulic lifts raise and lower quickly. THINK before pushing the power switch and WATCH what you
are doing!
7. Stop lowering the bunk once the boat is floating.
8. Weight of the boat must be positioned on the lift correctly or damage may occur to lift.
See Page 10 for proper positioning of boat.
9. Do not exceed the maximum lift capacity. Exceeding lift capacity may lead to equipment failure
and/or personal injury.
10. If you do not have a canopy or boat cover, rain water in boat could cause the lift to become overloaded
resulting in failure. Remove drain plug from boat when unattended.
11. Inspect cables periodically for fraying. Replace cable if excessively frayed.
12. Inspect pulleys to ensure that they turn freely. Replace excessively worn pulleys.
13. Completely lower the boat lift when any maintenance is done to lift.
14. Do not work in or on your boat when raised up in the lift.
15. To prevent damage to lift canopy and/or boat while lifting, determine a maximum height stopping point
and mark it. See Page 9 on how to mark the stopping point.
16. Always wear eye protection and gloves to protect yourself when connecting and disconnecting hoses to
prevent high pressure fluid spray from penetrating your eyes and skin.
17. Do not disconnect hoses from pump while the system is under load. The pressure in the
hydraulic hoses will make it difficult to connect the hoses again.
18. Do not disconnect hoses from hydraulic cylinder while the system is under load. This will cause the boat
to fall immediately and may cause damage to the boat and lift.
19. Never attempt to grab cable with your hand while operating lift. Personal injury may occur.
20. Keep hose couplers free of dirt, dust and other debris to prevent contamination of the hydraulic pump.
21. When lift is not used for an extended period of time, install the lock pin into the correct hole on
the hydraulic beam assembly. Hydraulic fluid from the cylinder may flow slowly back into pump
while you are gone. The lock pin will stop the lift from lowering.
See Page 9 for the installation and removal of this lock pin.
22. Watches, jewelry and other metal objects that come in contact with electrical system will spark and
cause significant injury. Always remove all jewelry and shut off the system switch before working inside
the hydraulic box. (Turn the Green Knob)
23. System shut-off switch should be turned off when lift is not in use. (Turn the Green Knob) This will
disengage power to the pump and prevent accidental use of the remote by children or other users.
See Page 7 for the proper use of the system shut-off switch.
Hydraulic lifts raise and lower quickly.
THINK before pushing the power switch and WATCH what you are doing!

Lift must be level with water. Adjust drop legs and
use number scale on lift uprights to show when
level with water.
Lift bunk must be level to work properly.

Canopy Light – 12 Volt System (DC) & 110 Volt System (AC)
Both hydraulic systems are equipped with a 12 volt canopy light. 110 volt system converts the
power to 12 volt for the light. The light plugs into the cord on the control pad (110 volt) or receiver
box (12 volt). Install the light cord through a hole in hydraulic box and slide the connections firmly
together. Using plastic cable ties, attach the light to the canopy frame in the desired location. The
light can be operated with both systems using the remotes. The 110 volt hydraulic can operate the
light using the control pad.
If the bulb needs to be replaced, replace it with a 12 volt DC bulb #912. Do not use a #921
bulb since this bulb is over 1 amp. Using the wrong bulb will result in damage to the
control board.
