CONNECTING AND USING
THE WIRED REMOTE
VSD lifts come standard with a wired remote con-
trol. The wired remote plugs into the 10-in. blue
plug on the ASC. To raise the lift, simply press the
“UP” button, to lower the lift press the “DOWN”
button (Fig. 16). The lift will stop automatically
when it reaches the end of its up or down travel
limit or when the button is released.
The wired remote is weather resistant but not
waterproof and should not be exposed to the
Fig. 14a: Properly Leveled Lift in Adequate Water
Depth (no friction from hull hitting bunks).

Lift Platform has not been raised sufciently.
Water is hitting the rear cradle lifting beam.
DO NOT let cradle lift beam act as a wave-break!
Waves or spray
from waves
should not hit
motor. Warranty
is void if motor
is covered with
water
The main cradle lift beams should never act as a
wave-break. Make sure that the cradle lift platform is
always either raised high enough so that the waves
pass under it, or lowered completely beneath the
water. Waves breaking against the cradle lift beam
will cause unnecessary wear on the lift’s frame.
WARNING
elements. Installation
under a canopy system
is recommended. If the
remote is not covered
by a canopy, unplug
and store indoors when
not in use. Turn the
wired remote to the off
position while storing
the lift to ensure power
is not being drawn from
the battery during the
off season. NOTE: If the
remote is accidentally
submerged in water, to
avoid corrosion on the
contacts, it should be
taken apart and blown
out until it is dry.
If the lift is equipped
with a canopy system,
the cord on the remote
should be attached
with Velcro one-wrap to
the canopy upright tube
and the canopy hoop. Then run the cord forward
from the frame’s midpoint, or completely across
the hoop, so that the pendant can be located for
easy access from either the boat or the dock.
(Fig. 17). Refer to the assembly instructions
packaged with the lift for details. NOTE: If lift is
not equipped with an optional canopy system for
routing the wires to the dock side and it does not
have the wireless remote option, the lift system
should be installed so that the electrical connec-
tion panel is next to the dock.

Submerging of the electronic components
including the electric motor in water may cause
lift failure that is not covered by warranty. When
properly installed the wave action will ow under
the main lift beams and not break against them.
This will ensure that the integrity of the lift frame
and electrical system will not be compromised.
