    Contact the boat manufacturer to verify how to support the boat. Sunstream is not responsible for determining the proper way to support each craft that may go on a Sunstream lift. Inadequate support or incorrect position of a boat on a Sunstream lift may result in damage to the boat.
  • Page 3: Safety

    Unload passengers only when boat is floating. The Maximum Capacity for the Lift should be listed on the lift itself - if it is not, call Sunstream immediately to determine your lifts capacity. Operating the Lift with a greater amount of total weight may cause the lift and boat to become unstable and/or cap- size, possibly causing property damage and/or and severe injury or death to individuals situated nearby.
  • Page 4 If the boat is not centered, lower lift and try again. If conditions do not allow for centering, do not use the lift and contact Sunstream.

  • Page 17: Lift Installation

    Installation Launching/retrieving. Before Lifting/Launching/or retrieving, be sure to disconnect Powerpack from lift, secure and protect hoses and keep hose quick disconnect fittings clean. Use caution when lifting Powerpack with fork lift to prevent damage. Using Overhead Crane With Frame and Floats fully assembled, and Powerpack disconnected, hoist with 4 straps/slings from the two end cross beam tubes (5”x8”).
  • Page 18 Installation Moving FloatLift Towing FloatLift The FloatLift may be towed using a rope bridle of at least 30 ft long, connecting the front or rear U-bolts on the Upper Float Tube End Plates. Tow at a max speed of 10 knots in fully up position, or as sea con- ditions dictate.
  • Page 19 A fixed dock must be capable of supporting the weight of the Powerpack (445 lbs). Be certain to check extreme tide prediction to assure hoses will not pull powerpack into the water. Contact Sunstream for hose extensions if needed. For tides greater than 1 foot, sliding cleats such as the Tide-Slide brand are recommended.
  • Page 20 Installation Fixed Dock/Bulkhead For non-floating docks, dock lines need to be attached to sliding cleats, such as Tide-Slide brand, so FloatLift can rise and lower with tide. Sliding cleat for fixed docks/bulkheads (GFL13 shown) Fendering Protect the floats from damage or wear as needed. Add fendering to side of dock if needed. Solar Requirements If solar charging functionality is desired, the solar panels must be positioned to accept at least 6 hrs a day of direct sunlight.
  • Page 21  Ensure hoses are protected from chaffing, pinching and kinking.  If additional hose length is required, contact Sunstream for hose extensions.  Use caution not to turn elbow fitting on manifold when attaching or disconnecting hoses, since this will cause the fitting to leak.
  • Page 22: Lift Operation

  • Page 25 Solar Panels may be used to keep the Powerpack batteries charged. The ability for the Solar Panels to maintain battery charge under normal lift use is dependant on the frequency of lift usage. Consult Sunstream for a recommendation on Solar Charging. Solar Charging will have difficulty recharging batteries that are discharged to less than 50% capacity.

    (with a Silver-Silver Chloride probe) is below 900 mV. Clean off contact surface where zincs interface when replacing zincs. Only replace with Sunstream zinc kit (GFA-ZN24: FL24) (GFA- ZN36: FL36 & FL40). See instructions on replacement zinc kit for additional instructions. Do not paint on or under zincs.
  • Page 27 Replace SunFluid from reservoir every 4 years. Drain plug is located under powerpack. Rinse reser voir with water when empty, and allow to dry before refilling. Use approx. 5 gallons of Sunstream SunFluid to fill. Only use Sunstream SunFluid, part number VL-SF-GAL (1 gal), or VL-SF-5GAL (5 gal) Shifting thick ice can cause damage to floats and frame.
  • Page 28 Maintenance Inspection every 6 months when in water (in addition to inspection above) See checklist for details.  Check Fluid Level, fill if needed. Fluid should be within 1” of top of reservoir when FloatLift is in up position.  Check battery fluid levels, and fill as required with distilled water ...
