INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you have any questions, please call your dealer, or Sunstream at [phone]
Installation instructions and diagrams follow. These instructions and diagrams provide
basic information about how to securely and safely install the Floatlift. Adhering to these
instructions and diagrams, however, provides no guaranteee that the installation will be safe
and secure. The Floatlift user must also consider site-specific facts such as wave, wind and
current action and storm potential in his/her analysis of the installation site and method.
!WARNING!
The maximum bouyancy capacity for the lift is 13,000 lbs. Total boat weight should not •
exceed 13,000 lbs. to allow for a safety margin. Operating the lift with a greater amount
of total weight may cause the lift and boat to become unstable and or capsize, possibly
resulting in property damage and or severe injury or even death to individuals situated
nearby. One important indication of overloading is when the lift's 'MAXIMUN WATERLINE'
marking is submerged.
The installer must be aware of the conditions the lift will/may be subjected to at the •
proposed location. Waves and wind may affect stability. Excessive wave or wind action
may require that the boat be secured to the lift, or that the lift be moved to a secure
site.
Treat your lift like a boat for moorage purposes. Check docklines and other , moorage
•
connections frenquently, especially if connections will be subjected to stress such as
those caused by water fluctuation or current.
Ensure that your boat is situated on the lift in a manner that will avoid damage to your •
boat or other property. Confirm that no part of the lift except the rubber covered
portion of the bunks contacts your boat. Confirm that your boat or the lift will not strike
any nearby object in the case of wave action. install fenders or other padding as
required.
Verify engine intakes are not blocked by the lift. •
To avoid unwanted product wear and tear, secure the lift so that the floats or other •
parts of the lift do not strike or rub against the dock or other structures and or
adequately pad points where such contact may occur. Refer to the safery instructions,
maintenace tips and other sections of this manual for additional information.
