Do not adjust canopy frame with fabric
attached. When the bolts are loose or removed,
a sudden wind could cause the entire frame
structure to blow off the lift and damage it.
Do not adjust canopy frame with boat on lift. If
lift failure were to occur, there is potential for
serious bodily injury or even death. Damage
may also result from the loosened framework
making contact with the boat.
As you can
see in Figs.
50, 51 &
52, the wa-
tercraft are
completely
covered
from front to
back and the
fabric hangs down vertically over the boat’s side
walls. This is the optimum canopy placement.

Improper weight distribution on the main lift
beams can cause the majority of the boat’s
weight to be supported by only one beam.
This could cause an overload situation
which could result in lift failure and potential
bodily injury. If you do not know where your
boat’s balance point is, consult your dealer.
When determining balance point, the Boat
Lift Selector program on FLOE’s website,
www.oeintl.com, is a good starting point.
WARNING
END FRAME ADJUSTMENT
All canopy frames are equipped with the
adjustable end frame feature. This feature makes
installation and removal easier and pulls the
canopy fabric tight for a great looking t.
To adjust prior to installing or removing fabric:
1. Loosen center rail adjustment knob by turning
it counterclockwise (See Fig. 54). This will
allow the center rail to retract.
2. Using a 9/16” socket with either a wrench or a
cordless drill, spin main rail adjustment bolts
clockwise to retract each side (See Fig. 55).
3. Follow canopy fabric installation instructions.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not attempt to install or
remove canopy fabrics in windy
conditions. Strong winds or wind
gusts can make fabric handling
extremely difcult and can
cause a potentially dangerous
situation.
