2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
Immediately stop using the tower if it appears to be unsteady,
insecure, or shows signs of gel coat cracking or other stress
near the tower legs. Continuing to use the tower under these
conditions could result in serious injury or even death.
An authorized MasterCraft dealer must determine if the damage
can be repaired. If the damage is the result of misuse of the
product, such damage will not be covered under the
warranty policy.
Troubleshooting
In rare cases, the Z6 pull-pin locking mechanism may have
trouble engaging. This is a result of misalignment and may lead
to scarring. If the locking mechanism on your Z6 does not engage
properly, take it to an authorized MasterCraft dealer
for inspection.
If the Z8/Z10 tower does not respond to the switch, verify that the
circuit has not tripped at the cylinder/pump. If it has not tripped at
the cylinder/pump, examine the breaker board. (See the chapter
“Basic Electrical Components” for information on breakers.) If the
tower is still unresponsive after toggling the breaker, you should
take the boat to an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
Although Z towers are sturdy, well-designed equipment, you
should know what to do in the unlikely event that a tower causes
damage or exhibits signs of insecurity. If there is evidence of
tower-induced damage to the deck (such as gel coat cracking) or
insecurity (such as unsteadiness), stop using the tower and take
it to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for closer inspection. The
dealer will be able to diagnose repairs. If the damages appear to
have been inflicted by the owner’s actions, warranty may not cover
the repairs.
If you have any questions regarding the hydraulics used in the
Z8 and Z10 towers, contact an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
The dealer can provide information from the OEM manufacturer
regarding installation instructions, system diagrams, part
numbers for hoses or fittings, thread sealant, hydraulic fluid, pump
filling processes, test procedures, operating pressure, alternate
means of operation, maintenance, and/or troubleshooting.
