FloatLift maintenance
Batteries
The FloatLift uses quantity (4) Group 27 deep cycle 12V marine batteries. Minimum reserve capac-
ity of 160 Amp Hours each. Every 6 months, check to ensure that the battery fluid levels are ap-
proximately ½ ” from the top, and fill with distilled water if needed. Inspect battery terminals at
same interval, and clean if needed with wire brush. Excessive heat at a battery terminal is a sign of
poor conductivity, which indicates a need for cleaning the terminals. Low battery fluid can also
cause high heat at battery terminals. Replace batteries every 3years or as needed for preventative
maintenance.
The battery charge level can be checked with a hydrometer
100% Charged.......1.255 - 1.260 Specific Gravity
75% Charged.......1.220 - 1.225 Sp. Gr.
50% Charged.......1.185 - 1.190 Sp. Gr.
25% Charged.......1.150 - 1.155 Sp. Gr.
0% Charged.......1.115 - 1.120 Sp. Gr.
Zincs
Inspect cylindrical zincs regularly. Refer to instructions in FL24 Zinc Kit GFA-ZN24 for FL24 and
GFA-ZN36 for FL36 & FL40. Replace zincs if more than 50 % deteriorated, or if structural poten-
tial (with a Silver-Silver Chloride probe) is below 900 mV. Clean off contact surface where zincs
interface when replacing zincs. Only replace with Sunstream zinc kit (GFA-ZN24: FL24) (GFA-
ZN36: FL36 & FL40). See instructions on replacement zinc kit for additional instructions. Do not
paint on or under zincs. IMPORTANT: Failure to maintain zincs can cause structural damage to the
aluminum.
Floats
Clean off marine growth from floats as desired. Excessive marine growth over 1” thick is required
to be removed. Growth over ½” is suggested to be removed.
