Operation and Use
Canopy provides best protection when your boat is positioned up and into the frame.
-Severe or strong winds can pick up a boat, lift, and canopy. This would cause damage to equipment and injury to
anyone in its path. Position your boat up within canopy frame to provide protection and reduce chance of severe
winds circulating inside canopy.
-Do not raise boat lift up past recommended lift height to position boat higher in canopy. Over raising may cause
damage to lift, canopy, or boat. If over raising appears necessary to properly position boat, remove lift and canopy
from water and adjust canopy legs to desired level.
-Do not leave cover on canopy frame unless boat lift is firmly in place. Sink lift leg pads into lake bottom. Settling is
helped by leaving boat on lift for several days and covering lift leg pads with lake bottom soil. These steps provide a
suction effect.
-Secure boat lift with canopy to lake bottom or a stand dock if you have a hard lake bottom (little or no soil),
experience violent winds, or will not have your boat in lift during strong winds. Auger style lift anchor kits are available
separately, part number 1045871.
Removal and Storage
The canopy cover must be removed when boat lift is not properly secure in water or if not being used regularly. You
can remove the cover by detaching the bungee cords from the canopy frame.
-Stretching and removing bungee cords requires strength and proper balance. Do not let go of bungee cords when
under tension. An eye injury or other bodily injury could occur. Always wear proper protective clothing and safety
glasses.
-Canopy frames and covers cannot support extra weight. Remove the cover if you experience snowfall. Not removing
the cover and allowing accumulation of snow on canopy could damage the frame and the cover.
-Store the cover in a warm dry place. Be sure the cover is clean and dry before folding or rolling up for storage.
-Store canopy cover in a warm dry place to avoid cracks from freezing. Do not fold or handle the cover if temperature
is below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, cracking could occur.
Service
A properly maintained canopy will require little service to the frame or structure. A canopy cover used under normal
circumstances should provide 5 - 10 years of use before needing replacement.
Inspect all canopy bolts, nuts, cord, and hooks every three months for loose or damaged parts. Tighten or replace
parts as needed.
Check other parts once a year for cracks, breaks or wear. Replace parts as needed.
If damage occurs to any part, replaced damaged item before resuming use.
Do not use chemicals or abrasives to clean your canopy cover. Using chemicals or abrasives will
destroy your covers sun and mold protection. This will result in premature aging and decay of your cover. Use a soft
dish soap and pressured water to clean your cover.
