1SAFETY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Our Reimann & Georger Corporation Marine Products HL Platform Lift is designed to lift boat by platform. Always place
boat or equipment toward center of the lift to prevent lift tipping or platform failure. Your Platform Lift is well designed and
well built. However, like any other equipment, it can malfunction or become hazardous in the hands of an inexperienced
and/or untrained user. Therefore, read this manual and your related Hydraulic Lift manual, and related equipment manuals
thoroughly before installing this kit and operating your lift to provide maximum safety for all operating personnel, and to get
the maximum benefit from your equipment.
1.2 SAFETY DEFINITIONS
A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others or cause property damage. The safety
messages or signal words for product safety signs are DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. Each safety message is
preceded by a safety alert symbol and is defined as follows:
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will cause death or serious injury. This
safety message is limited to the most extreme situations.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It
may also be used to alert against unsafe practices and property-damage-only accidents.
1.3 EQUIPMENT SAFETY LABELS
These labels warn you of potential hazards that could cause injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes
illegible, contact a Reimann & Georger Corporation dealer for a replacement.
1.4 SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
DO NOT INSTALL THIS KIT AND OPERATE THE LIFT WITHOUT READING BOTH THIS
MANUAL AND YOUR HYDRAULIC LIFT MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN LEAD TO
EQUIPMENT MISUSE WITH RESULTING DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
CONTACT YOUR RGCMARINE DEALER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
1. Do not install this kit without first replacing any damaged or defective parts.
2. The Platform kit does not increase the rated capacity of the lift. Never use the lift beyond its rated capacity. This can
damage the kit assembly, lift, and/or boat with resulting serious personal injury.
3. Never try using any part of this kit in an application for which it was not designed.
4. Do not weld or otherwise modify any part of this kit. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the lift and
void the warranty.
5. The following precautions must be observed when lifting any part of this equipment:
a. Be sure of your footing.
b. Bend your knees and lift with your legs.
c. Hold the equipment section close to your body when lifting.
6. After the Platform kit is installed, the safety checks in Steps 7 through 24 must be performed on your lift prior to
operation. Details on these checks are given in your vertical lift manual.
7. Before allowing anyone to operate the lift, be sure they fully understand the proper operating procedure.
1

8. Do not operate the lift under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
9. Keep people and pets clear during operation of the lift.
10. Keep fingers and clothing clear of all moving parts.
11. Never allow people in the boat any time it is suspended above the water on the platform.
WARNING:
DO NOT STAND OR WALK ON THE PLATFORM WHILE IT IS IN ANY RAISED POSITION.
THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
12. Do not allow anyone to swim or play under, near or on the lift at any time.
13. Insure that all bolts and nuts are fastened securely on both this kit and the lift prior to operation.
14. Insure that the frame is level and square.
15. Completely remove any user or dealer installed locking devices before operating the lift.
16. Ensure the center of gravity of the boat is between forward tube and rear foot plates. The boat must be secured on the
lift before raising or lowering. Failure to do this can cause equipment damage and/or serious personal injury.
17. The boat must be stored with the lift in the over center position.
18. A clear visual path is required when using remote transmitter. Obstacles, radio frequency interference, and weak
transmitter batteries will degrade the performance and range of your remote transmitter.
19. Never adjust or service the lift during operation or while connected to the control box.
20. Do not adjust components in the control box while operating the lift.
21. Completely lower the platform before performing any type of maintenance or repair.
WARNING:
ALL ELECTRIC DRIVES MUST BE INSTALLED AND INSPECTED BY A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. THIS
INSTALLATION MUST INCLUDE A PROPERLY WORKING GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER. (G.F.C.I.)
22. Never use the lift to hang or store any auxiliary equipment such as boating hardware.
23. At end of operation, secure the control box and the lift to prevent unauthorized use. Never assume you will find the
equipment in the same condition in which you left it.
24. Never operate the remote control or hydraulic power unit when connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses.
