1. Review and follow all the safety precautions given in Chapter 1.
2. Do not use the lift if it shows any signs of damage.
3. Insure that all bolts and nuts are fastened securely prior to operation.
4. Ensure that the frame is square and that the lift sits level.
5. Never try lifting anything other than a boat with this lift.
6. Never try to lift or launch your boat in rough water conditions. This can damage your boat and/or the lift.
7. Follow the Pre-Lifting Checklist before operating.
8. Read and know the instructions and insure that everyone understands the proper operating procedure.
9. Understand the use of all the controls and connections provided with the power supply and the remote transmitter.
4.2. TESTING LIFT OPERATION
After the lift installation is complete, it is important to test it for proper functioning before any load is applied. Proceed as follows:
1. Use the up/down switch inside the control box to cycle the lift up and down. Insure that the hydraulic hoses are not binding or
being pinched by any part of the lift.
2. The loading platform should move up and down smoothly without excessive stress or squeaking.
3. After cycling the lift a couple of times, inspect all hardware to insure that they are still secure and tight. Also test the remote
control and underwater lighting system.
4. Contact your authorized dealer if the hydraulic system fails to perform as described in this section. Do NOT tamper with either
system.
4.3. TESTING LIFT WITH REMOTES
1. To unlock the remotes, press the two blue buttons simultaneously, this will unlock the unit. To lock the remote,
press the two blue buttons simultaneously will lock the unit.
2. Press the ‘UP’ button to make the lift go in the upward direction. Press ‘DOWN’ to make the lift go in the
downward direction.
WARNING:
IF THE FRAME IS NOT SQUARE OR THE LIFT IS NOT LEVEL, BINDING MAY RESULT.
THIS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
WARNING:
NEVER TRY TO USE THIS EQUIPMENT BEYOND ITS RATED CAPACITY. THIS CAN
DAMAGE THE LIFT AND/OR BOAT RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.
THE BOAT MUST BE PROPERLY POSITIONED ON THE LIFT BEFORE DOING ANY
RAISING OR LOWERING. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
WARNING:
DO NOT STAND OR WALK ON THE LIFT PLATFORM WHILE IT IS IN ANY RAISED
POSITION. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

4.4. RAISING AND LOWERING THE PLATFORM
1. Position the boat so that the boat’s center of gravity is between forward load tube and rear foot.
2. Carefully raise the platform until the bunks “capture” the boat. Stop the lift and check to see that the bunks have automatically
positioned themselves to the shape of the hull, as they were installed to do in Chapter 3. If this has occurred, continue bringing
the boat out of the water until it is about 1 foot above the surface.
3. Keep fingers and clothing clear of all moving parts. Keep people clear during operation of the lift.
4. Stop the lift again and check the stability of the lift. Insure that it is remaining level and will not topple over.
5. Continue lifting the boat, closely observing the position of the lift, until the platform is in the fully upright and over center
position.
6. Remove the boat from the lift and check to see that the lift is still level. If not, the legs will have to be re-adjusted.
7. Two weeks after installation, check to see that the lift is still level, as it may have settled over time. Readjust the legs as described
above and repeat this inspection and adjustment procedure at the frequency found necessary.
8. After removing the boat from the lift, re-tighten the bunk bolts as required.
4.5. SECURING LIFT WHEN NOT IN USE
1. Make the lift visible by leaving the platform in any elevated position when it is not loaded with a boat. This prevents the lift from
being a hidden underwater obstruction, and protects the bunks from prolonged water immersion.
2. Lock out your control box to prevent unauthorized use when your boat lift is unattended. Never assume you will find the lift in
the same condition that you left it.
3. When storing the boat on the lift, the following additional precautions must be observed:
a. When storing the boat, the platform must be in the upright over center gravity lock position for maximum safety. The over
center position will prevent the boat from lowering if any hydraulic leak occurs.
b. Position the boat on the platform so that the boat’s center-of-gravity is between the forward load tube and the rear foot plates
when in the down position.
c. Prevent rainwater from accumulating in your boat when leaving it on the lift for long term storage. A boat that has water in it
from a rainstorm could exceed the recommended weight capacity of the lift. Just 1 gallon of water weighs over 8 pounds.
Be sure to remove the plug while the boat is up on the lift. Make sure you replace the plug prior to launching your boat.
WARNING:
NEVER ALLOW PEOPLE IN THE BOAT ANY TIME IT IS SUSPENDED ABOVE THE WATER
ON THE LIFT.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE LIFT TO LIMIT WAVE ACTION AGAINST THE
HULL. WAVE ACTION CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE LIFT AND/OR YOUR BOAT.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
5.1. GENERAL MAINTENANCE RULES
1. Do not allow persons other than authorized service personnel to repair this equipment.
2. If slings are used, inspect them for deterioration. Replace them immediately if they are worn.
3. Do not weld or otherwise modify the lift. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the lift and invalidate your
warranty.
4. Completely lower the lift before performing any type of maintenance or repair.
5. Immediately replace any components found to be defective.
WARNING:
BEFORE STARTING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE LIFT, DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT
THE POWER SUPPLY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL OPERATION.
CAUTION:
POOR OR IMPROPER MAINTENANCE CAN LEAD TO EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR
FAILURE.
5.2. WIRE ROPE INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Inspect the wire rope prior to each use for signs of wear, damage, or pinching. Inspect the entire wire rope working length.
Thoroughly inspect the rope sections that pass over sheaves or drums, or that make opposing turns. Inspect wire rope and end
attachments carefully. While inspecting, examine sheaves, guards, guides, drums, flanges, and other surfaces contacting wire rope
during operation. Correct any condition harming the rope in use or other damage or worn surfaces at this time.
Remove and immediately replace wire rope with one or more of the following defects:
1. Corrosion
2. Broken wires:
(a) One or more valley breaks. A valley break is a wire break occurring in the valley between two adjacent strands.
(b) Six randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay. A rope lay is the length of rope along which one strand makes a
complete revolution around the rope. See Figure 5-1. Keeping the rope clean and wound evenly on the winch drum will
increase its life and efficiency.
3. Abrasion: Scrubbing, flattening or peening causing loss of more than one-third of the original diameter of the outside wires.
4. Kinking: Severe kinking, crushing, bird caging or other damage causing distortion of the rope structure. Bird caging is a bulging
in the cable caused by the individual wires becoming untwisted. This untwisting of individual wires is usually caused by impact
loading on the cable (such as a sudden stop).
Wire Rope Components
5. Heat damage: Evidence of any heat damage caused by a torch or by contact with electrical wires.
6. Reduction of more than 1/64 inch from a nominal 5/16-inch or less diameter cable. Reduction of more than 1/32 inch from a
nominal 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch diameter cable.
CAUTION:
WEAR HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE. INSUFFICIENT
HAND PROTECTION WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

19
5.3. ANNUAL INSPECTION
At least once a year, the lift must be thoroughly inspected using the following procedure.
1. Tighten all bolts.
2. Clean cylinder rods.
3. Check that all the pivot pins are lubricated properly.
4. Check frame thoroughly for defects.
5. Inspect all hydraulic lines, fittings and hoses for leaks and risks of rupture as follows:
a. Inspect each hydraulic line, fitting, and hose for breaks, cracks, worn spots, bulges, chemical attack, kinks or any other
damage. Never try to stop any detected leak with any body parts. Do not put your face close to suspected leaks. Hold a
piece of cardboard close to suspected leaks and then inspect the cardboard for signs of hydraulic oil.
6. Replace a damaged line, fitting or hose immediately. Never repair the part.
5.4. REMOTE CONTROL INFORMATION
The remote transmitter can de-program due to either a power loss (dead battery) or electrical interference, which will require re-
programming of the transmitter.
Proper function of the RC system is dependent upon several factors that are not controllable by the manufacturer. RGC is not
responsible for the following: Improper installation, Low battery, Natural occurrences, Use other than intended, Location of panel,
receiver or transmitter too close to interfering metal objects, Multiple RC panels within 15 feet of each other, Use in area with external
interference such as radio, cell phone, and TV towers or a natural magnetic field, Blocked or shielded antenna, Other transmitter
interference from cell phones, cordless phones, wireless systems, CB and mobile transmitters, computer and industrial equipment,
electric motors, even fluorescent lights.
See the instruction manual on the power unit for re-programming the receiver & transmitter.
5.5. STORAGE PROCEDURE
1. Position boat on platform so the lower unit of the motor is against the optional motor stop (if used).
2. A boat that has water in it from a rain storm could exceed the recommended weight capacity for the lift. Just 1 gallon of water
weighs over 8 pounds. Be sure to remove the plug while the boat is up on the lift. Make sure you replace the plug prior to
launching your boat.
3. Protect your lift as far as possible from damage caused by environmental factors such as airborne fallout, chemicals, tree sap, and
weather hazards.
4. Never use the lift to hang or store any auxiliary equipment such as boating hardware.
5. Do not allow anyone to swim or play near the lift at any time.
6. Disconnect and store battery to prevent from freezing.
7. Disconnect and store hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic hoses, and control box in a warm dry area if temperatures below -20°F are
expected.
WARNING:
DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY TO USE THE LIFT UNTIL THIS MAINTENANCE IS
COMPLETED.
CAUTION:
DO NOT STORE THE LIFT IN THE WATERWAY IF FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED. THIS WILL CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
