STEP 6(a): ALIGNING THE TANKS Side Alignment 1. Align the tanks next to each other, five on each side, spacing them so the mooring rings are 68.25” apart. You may want to use the full-length hull support bracket as a straight-edge to align the tanks. The hull support bracket is used in a later step.
Page 22
3. Perform Steps 6(b) and (c). Verify equal length diagonals as you build from tank Set 1 to tank Set 5 as shown below to ensure they are square. 4. After confirming the lift is square and all assembly for Steps 6(b) and (c) are completed, tighten all hardware completely.

STEP 14: 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 45
STEP 18: COMMISSIONING THE LIFT Perform the following steps after the lift has been installed, WITHOUT a vessel on the hoist. 1. With the lift completely lowered calibrate the level sensor. Please reference the HarborHoist Own- er-Operating Manual for the procedure and functionality. 2.
