Safety Tips
“The best insurance policy is safety”
After the hoist installation is complete, it is important to next check and see that the winch mechanism is functioning properly. This is easily
accomplished by raising the empty platform about one-fourth the way up and releasing your grasp on the lift handle. If the winch is operating
properly, the clutch brake will automatically hold the platform at any position. Perform this same test in the half, three-fourths and full lift
positions. Next, repeat this same procedure with your boat on the hoist. If the lift handle begins to freely spin down from any of these test
positions, at no time should you attempt to prevent it from doing so. Such action could result in injury to arms and hands. Instead simply let
the platform spin down into the water. Doing so will neither damage your hoist nor your watercraft.
If for some reason your winch mechanism does not function as described call your authorized Shore Station dealer. Do not tamper with the
winch mechanism.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT OPERATE THIS HOIST WITHOUT FIRST STUDYING THIS OWNER’S MANUAL
1. See to it that you, your family, and anyone else who uses the hoist looks upon the unit not as a toy, but a piece of heavy equipment
that deserves your respect and good judgment.
2. Before allowing anyone to operate the unit, be sure they fully understand the proper operating procedure.
3. Do not exceed maximum capacity unit, overloading may cause mechanical failure and serious personal injury.
4. All persons should stand clear and should not be allowed to board your watercraft when it is being raised or lowered.
5. If you choose to remove the winch cover and inspect or work on the winch, be sure the platform is completely lowered.
6. It is a good safety policy to restrict children, as well as adults, from playing on or near the hoist.
7. Service winch annually. IMPORTANT: Winch maintenance schedule must be followed to avoid possible failure and injury. See winch
owner’s manual for instructions.
8. Check cable for wear or fraying and also stress on cable attaching ends. If this occurs, replace cable immediately.
9. Be sure the hoist is installed level, severe out of level installation may cause hoist hand up and serious personal injury.
10. Do not work on you watercraft or hoist with watercraft on the hoist.
11.Check all sheaves, make sure they are turning and operating properly.
12. Check fasteners on cable ends to be positive they are threaded properly (see setting up instructions).
13. If the winch handle begins to freely spin down for any reason, at no time should you attempt to prevent it from doing so. Such action
could result in injury to arms and hands. Instead, simply let the platform spin down into the water. Doing so will neither damage your
watercraft or hoist.
14. Never pick up on platform of hoist while trying to move, position, or transport hoist. Doing so may cause serious personal injury.
15. Never stand or walk on hoist platform while in any raised position. Doing so may cause serious personal injury.
SAFETY MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that your Shore Station hoist be thoroughly inspected at least once each season:
1. Tighten all bolts.
2. Check pulleys and make sure they are all turning freely.
3. Inspect all cables for fraying, wearing or deteriorating. If any signs appear, replace cables.
4. Check frame thoroughly.
5. Check winch as per manufacturer’s specifications.

After final assembly, you are now ready for installation. Once the location is determined you need to find the water depth and the dock height.
Using a pole or a 2X4, insert it into the water and locate solid bottom to water level. Mark both the water level and the top of the on the 2X4.
Remove the pole and measure the distance from solid bottom to water level.
You must allow 17” for the lower cross member and bunk height, then add floatation allowance plus the water distance to the top of the dock
figure, dock mount tube should be set at this measurement. Subtract this measurement from the lake bottom to the top of the dock
measurement to get the leg extension measurement. NOTE: Allowances may have to be made for uneven lake bottom in the leg setting
measurement.
The distance of dock to water line plus 29” equals position to set the top of the dock mount tube.
