STEP 7(a): HULL PAD ALIGNMENT (V-HULL ONLY) - Straight Cross Beam Before installing the hull pads, it is important to determine the bunk spacing: how far apart the hull pads should be mounted on the cross beams. To calculate the proper spacing, refer to the table below. Consult your boat manufactur- er for dead rise information.

STEP 12: TIE-OFF MOORING (MOORING ROPES NOT INCLUDED) Tie off the lift using a method similar to mooring a boat in a slip. The goal is to restrain the lift as much as possible while leaving enough slack in the lines to allow the lift to raise and lower properly. NOTE: Use a good mooring rope with enough strength for the size of boat and lift being installed.

Commissioning the Lift Damage to the lift or vessel can result from improper initial setup of the system. Consult a HydroHoist approved installer for initial setup and support. • Installation and service should be performed by a qualified service professional.
Page 32
STEP 18: COMMISSIONING THE LIFT Perform the following steps after the lift has been installed, WITHOUT a vessel on the hoist. 1. Raise the hoist until all main tanks are bubbling air. Stop the hoist. 2. Verify the frame is out of the water and the walkways are parallel to the surface of the water. 3.
