Warning:

• Do not overload the capacity of the lift or drive system. When lifting, do not let the cradle or pulleys make contact with
the lift frame. Serious injury or dmage could occur.
• When lowering the lift, go down just far enough so the boat will come off of the lift. Running the system too long in
the down cycle will wind the cable backwards and lift the boat, which could cause serious injury or damge.
• To prevent serious personal injuries or death, do not allow children, swimmers or pets on or near the boat lift while
it is in operation as they may become caught under the boat and suffer pinch, amputation or other serious injuries.
