PART NO. 690809 REV: A 4
Always leave the boat in the fully raised position, or in the fully lowered position. The lift may list to one side if left in the partially
raised position.
If a Float Lift is located near an area where swimmers are prone to diving into the water (such as off of a boathouse), make sure they
are aware of the location of the Float Lift when boat is not present, and lift is hidden under water.
When walking on floats, floats may be slick or unstable, potentially leading to injury. Use extreme caution when walking or standing
on floats.
When operating lift ensure floats operate simultaneously. Floats on one side may be blocked and or move unequally, becoming unsta-
ble and or capsize. Stop lift immediately if floats operate unevenly, determine and remove blockage or call Sunstream if not fixed.
Failure to properly center boat on lift will potentially cause the lift and boat to become unstable and or capsize. Determine the boat’s
approximate center of gravity and lift your boat so that the center of gravity is approximately at the center-most point of the lift. If the
boat is not centered, lower lift and try again. If conditions do not allow for centering, do not use the lift and contact Sunstream.
In the down position, the lift may be partially hidden underwater. Swimmers may unknowingly jump or dive into structure. Warn
people of the lift’s existence and take other measures required to ensure safety.
Hands, feet or other body parts may be severally injured if caught between the lift’s moving structures. Do not touch or allow others to
touch the lift while in operation.
Do not use your Powerpack for storage purposes. Articles or tools in the box could cause damage to the pump or electrical system.
Great care and precaution should be taken when lifting for the first few times until certain the lift is stabilized. Make sure everyone in
the immediate area is aware during this process, and is not in close proximity to the lift (especially not in the water near the lift!)
Lift structure, welds, bolts, pins and hydraulics must be inspected annually.
To ward off galvanic corrosion , it is essential that sacrificial anodes are installed and maintained on your lift. Zinc is used as it is an-
odic to aluminum in seawater so zinc becomes the corroding anode, while the lift serves as the cathode and is protected from corrosion.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU REPLACE THE ZINC ON YOUR LIFT REGULARLY. Check the condition frequently and
change the zinc every six (6) months or more often if needed. Zincs on lifts in coastal areas near ocean deteriorate more rapidly and
need to be changed more frequently.
Effects of galvanic corrosion are not covered by your Sunstream warranty. Failure in maintaining zincs on the lift constitutes
abuse and therefore voids the Sunstream warranty.
Only use SunStream SunFluid in the hydraulic power pack. Adding hydraulic oil will cause damage to the pumps and will require a full
system flushing.
Do not disconnect quick-disconnect hydraulics with a boat loaded on the lift unless the boat is fully raised in the over-center position, or
fully lowered. It is difficult to re-attach the hoses if the hoses are pressurized.
Do not power boat on lift. Lower lift so boat glides into position. Boat must be in neutral to minimize risk to propeller. Lift is not de-
signed to react to loads from boat engine (s).
Ensure all cotter pins are bent and secure, all retaining rings are seated properly in grooves, all nuts are tight .
Ensure hydraulic hoses are neatly wire-tied to frame and clear from pinch points.
Tighten all battery connections and fittings.
Ensure rubber grommets are secured and properly protect hoses and cables.
