Golden Tornado 8-CYLINDER Installation Manual page 22

Note: Before launching the Tornado Lift, please reference the
HYDRAULIC POWER PACK INSTALLATION MANUAL provided to
continue installation of the power supply for the Tornado
Boat Lift. Failure to reference and follow these instructions
before attempting to launch and operate the Tornado Boat
Lift may cause damage to the lift and/or personal
injury/death.
LAUNCHING THE TORNADO LIFT
Note: It is important to determine the appropriate depth to
store the lift to efficiently use the maximum lifting height.
Note: It is important to consider how much the water levels
fluctuate in the region the lift is stored.
1. After completing all steps in the HYDRAULIC POWER
PACK INSTALLATION MANUAL and testing the hydraulics,
disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the pump end and
connect the hydraulic hoses together to ensure they
remain clean while launching the lift.
2. To launch the lift, it is recommended to use flotation
devices to maneuver the lift safely and carefully into the
desired location, only utilizing properly trained
personnel.
Note: It may be necessary to have a certified diver tighten and
secure all hardware after lift is positioned into place.
3. After securing the lift in the appropriate location, the
hydraulic hoses should carefully be reattached to the
pump.
LEVELING THE TORNADO LIFT
Note: Never operate a lift while on the lift or inside the boat.
1. Now that the lift is in its final position, measure the
distance from each corner of the lift to the surface of the
water. The four measurements should all be within 1-1/2"
of each other, otherwise leg adjustments may need to be
made.
2. Carefully maneuver the boat by hand to the
recommended position on the lift.
Note: Please be aware that the lift may settle during the first
several times lifting the boat, thus, take extra precautions
ensuring that there are no obstructions and no people near or
around the lift or boat.
3. Slowly lift the boat upward, pausing every 6" to ensure
the lift is staying level. Continue this process until the
boat is fully lifted out of the water.
Note: At any time, the lift may begin settling and becoming
unlevel. If this occurs, it is recommended to lower and remove
the boat from the lift so that the appropriate adjustments can
be made to make the lift level again, repeating these steps as
necessary.
Note: It is important to check the level of the lift regularly for
the first few months to ensure that the lift is not settling and
becoming unlevel. Failure to do this may result in damage to
the lift or bodily harm.
