Lowering and Raising the ZFT7 Tower
The ZFT7 tower operates under hydraulic power. The tower is con-
trolled by a switch located below the shift/throttle control on the
driver’s armrest. The tower will stop raising or lowering at any point
at which the operator releases the switch. However, the ZFT7 tower
should NEVER tow individuals at any position other than full upright
(where the tower will lock automatically).
When raising and lowering the ZFT7 tower, the board racks must
be fully extended out over the side of the boat (see photo) or fully
collapsed pointing into the deck of the boat to avoid damaging the
deck, the tower, or the board racks. All boards and gear should be
removed from the board racks prior to lowering the tower.
When operating the ZFT7 tower, individuals should take care to
keep all body parts, especially fingers, away from hinge areas.
The towers do not have sensors to stop movement if anything
becomes pinched as the hinges move the tower up and down.
Lowering and Raising the ZFT4 Tower
The ZFT4 tower can be manually raised or lowered for storage
or easier towing. The locking mechanisms located at the pivot
point on each side of the tower are pulled out to allow the tower
to raise or lower.
Always reinstall the locking mechanism on both sides of the
ZFT4 tower immediately afer raising or lowering the tower.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the tower or collapse
of the tower, which could result in serious injury or death.
Depending upon the total aggregate weight of the tower and any
installed accessories, it is advisable to have a second person assist
in steadying the tower during the raising and lowering process on
the ZFT4 tower.
