Installation instructions and diagrams follow. These instructions and diagrams provide basic
information about how to securely and safely install the FloatLift. Adhering to these instructions

FloatLift user must also consider site-specific facts such as wave, wind, and current action and
storm potential in his/her analysis of the installation site and method.

WARNING
x
The Maximum Buoyancy Capacity for the Lift is 10,500 lbs. Total weight lifted should not exceed
10,000 lbs. to allow for a safety margin. Operating the Lift with a greater amount of total weight
may cause the Lift and boat to become unstable and/or capsize, possibly causing property damage
and/or and severe injury or death to individuals situated nearby. One important indication of
overloading is when the Lift’s “MAXIMUM WATERLINE” marking is submerged.
x
The installer must be aware of the conditions the Lift will/may be subjected to at the proposed
location. Waves and wind may affect stability. Excessive wave action or wind may require that the
boat be secured to the lift, or that the lift be moved to a secure site.
x
Treat your Lift like a boat for moorage purposes. Check docklines and other moorage connections
frequently, especially if connections will be subject to stresses such as those caused by water
fluctuation or currents.
x
Ensure that your boat is situated on the Lift in a manner that will avoid damage to your boat or other
property. Confirm that no part of the Lift except the rubber covered portion of the bunks contacts
your boat. Confirm that your boat or the Lift will not strike any nearby object in the case of wave
action. Install fendering or other padding as required.
x
Verify engine intakes are not blocked by the lift.
x
To avoid unwarranted product wear and tear, secure the lift so that the floats or other parts of the lift
do not strike or rub against the dock or other structures and/or adequately pad points where such
contact may occur.
Refer to the safety instructions, maintenance tips, and other sections of this manual for additional
information.
