Never operate the lift if the limit switch housing is
removed, loose, or in any way disconnected. Doing so
can cause severe unwarranted damage to the lift and
serious personal injury or death.
WARNING
If the lift should raise or lower by itself without operating
the remote control, disconnect the battery cable ring
connectors from the battery posts immediately, if you
are able to do so without the risk of injury. Contact
your local dealer or FLOE International, Inc.
CAUTION
RAISING AND LOWERING THE
MAIN CRADLE LIFT BEAMS
Before raising or lowering the main cradle lift beams, it is
important that you understand how to operate the remotes,
what to do should the remotes fail, and how to ensure that
the lift is both level and in adequate water depth. Please
read the safety statements and information in this section
carefully before connecting power to the lift and operating it
for the first time.
If the lift is equipped with a canopy, it is important to stop
raising the boat before it or or any accessories make
contact with the canopy frame or fabric. NOTE: Many boats
have plug-in style bow and stern lights that while plugged in
are higher than the rest of the boat. Be sure these are
removed when entering or exiting the lift or lowered prior to
lifting the boat to its normal raised position.
Never allow anyone on or under this lift system, especially
while it is being operated or supporting the weight of a
watercraft.
DANGER
WARNING
Prior to entering or exiting the lift with your boat, you must
first ensure that the lift’s bunk system is lowered far enough
so that no boat hull contact is made with the bunk system.
Powering on or off the bunk system can cause severe
damage not covered by the warranty. See Fig. 14a.
Fig. 14b Do not let cradle lift beam act as a wave-
break!
When the main cradle lift beams are in their lowered
position on a properly leveled lift in adequate water depth,
the boat floats free of the bunks as it enters or leaves the
lift. (See Fig. 14a). When determining required water
depth, take wavy conditions into consideration. There
should be no chance of the boat hull lifting up on a wave
and dropping down onto the bunks. Guidance on bunk
placement is addressed in more detail on page 17.
To maintain the optimum water level for proper lift
operation, the minimum water depth is 31” and the
maximum is 81” for the VSD 7500 & 10,000 models. And
a minimum of 29.5” with the maximum of 69” for all other
vertical and VSD lifts.

Lift in Adequate Water Depth
(no friction from hull hitting bunks)
Never work on or make adjustments to boat, boat lift, or
boat lift accessories while the lift is supporting the weight
of the boat.
DANGER
Stay clear of boat lift when someone is entering or exiting
the lift with a boat. Never try to assist the boat’s direction
while it is in motion (either from inside or outside the boat).
DANGER
Waves or spray from waves should not
hit motor. Warranty is void if motor is
covered with water.

has not
been raised
sufficiently.
Water is
hitting the

lifting
beam.
