PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
1. Insure you have received all specified parts as listed in supplied parts list.
2. Consult licensed professional engineer to inspect and approve boathouse structure for this type of application and
loading capacity.
WARNING:
INSURE BOATHOUSE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR THIS TYPE OF
APPLICATION AND CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL BUILDING AND
ELECTRICAL CODES TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY AND / OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE.
3. Do not install or use the lift if it shows any signs of damage.
4. Do not weld or otherwise modify any part of the lift or power drive. Such alterations may damage the lift and / or
power drive and void the associated warranties.
5. Two people will be needed to mount the power drive into the boathouse. The following precautions must be observed
when lifting any part of this equipment:
a. Be sure of your footing.
b. Bend your knees and lift with your legs.
c. Hold the equipment section close to your body when lifting.
WARNING:
USE A MINIMUN OF TWO PERSONS TO INSTALL THE POWER DRIVE INTO THE
BOATHOUSE TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
LIFT ASSEMBLY
Supporting beams must be installed to the spacing required by the boat to be lifted. The hangers will fit beams 6”
wide by 6” to 9” deep.
1. Assemble #37X and #38X hangers and clamps to each corner of the boathouse beams about 6” wider than the beam of
the boat.
2. Using 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 pressure treated wood planks, construct two mounting bases for the power drives. Center them on
the fore and aft beams between the hangers.
3. Temporarily clamp the power drive to the wood mounting base and position it so that the centerlines of the speed
reducers are askew to the centerlines of the two boathouse beams. Ensure that the power drive is positioned to that the
winch spools are at right angles to the wire rope line pull. Refer to the reeving diagram.
4. When the power drive is positioned properly, drill two 1/2” holes through the wood mounting base using the power
drive frame as a template. Fasten the frame in place with the supplied 1/2” hardware, reference part # 8, 9 and 10.
5. Remove pipe plugs on sides of the reducers closest to the ceiling of boathouse and install supplied vent plugs.
