Lift stops after a split second.
This is a sign of a low battery. If your battery is becoming low, the
remote control will stop functioning (at about 11 volts). The lift can still be operated using the up/down
switch in the powerpack. The pump motor will stop functioning if the voltage drops below 9 volts.
Charge the battery using a 10A charger.
Battery does not keep a charge with Solar Panel.
Check the battery fluid levels, age and time of last
booster charge. (The Battery needs to be booster charged in the beginning and end of the season using a
10A charger.) Verify solar panel or a/c charger is plugged in correctly. Check the voltage output of the
solar panel. Output should be about 14-18 volts when exposed to light. Verify the polarity (i.e.
positive/negative) of the solar panel matches the battery’s polarity. Verify your solar panel gets an
appropriate 8 hours of light and the lift usage is within the monthly seasonal limits. Your solar panel
may be mounted up to 50 ft away from the battery if necessary. You may also order a bracket to mount
your solar panel on top of your canopy. The remote control should only be drawing about 5 mA, and
the pump 20mA (at rest). The solar panel has an output of approximately 750mA in direct sunshine.
Solar Panel will not fully charge battery if power is drained more than 50%.
Battery terminal becomes hot.
Verify cable is clean and tight on battery terminal.
Limited range of remote control.
Check battery in key-chain transmitter. If your range is only
limited while in your boat, try holding the transmitter over your head. Proximity to cell phone towers,
power lines and other electromagnetic interference can also reduce remote control range.
Remote control not functioning.
The remote control is designed to stop working if the battery drops
below 11 volts to alert the user that the battery is getting low. If the lift operates with the up/down
switch in the powerpack but not the remote, charge the battery using a 10A booster charger.
NOTE: Remote “times out” after 30 seconds to prevent battery discharge in case button is accidentally
held down (in a pocket, for example).
Fluid overflows reservoir.
It is OK to see some fluid overflow from the reservoir when cycled all the
way down for the first time.
