WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS LIFT WITHOUT STUDYING THIS ENTIRE MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN LEAD TO EQUIPMENT MISUSE WITH RESULTING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE. CONTACT YOUR RGC MARINE DEALER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 1.2. SAFETY DEFINITIONS A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others or cause property damage.
1.5. INSTALLATION SAFETY Do not weld or otherwise modify the lift. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the lift and void the warranty. All lifting accessories such as pontoon brackets, pivoting bunks, and guide-ons, must be commercially manufactured, and be properly maintained and installed.
2.3. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT The following options are available which enable you to customize your lift for your particular operation. Installation instructions are provided as part of each option kit. Canopies— Boats tucked neatly under the heavy duty canopy are protected from the elements, reducing the need for boat coverings.
INSTALLATION AND SETUP 3.1. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS Do not assemble the lift if any part shows any sign of damage. Do not weld or otherwise modify the lift. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the lift and void the warranty.
Use a tape measure and a pencil to mark the locations where the main frames will be installed on the leg weldments. This will make it easier to align the two main frames later. Measure dimension “B” on both legs from the same side of the lift – dock side or water side. Model HL60112 HL60120 HL70112...
3.4. CYLINDER SUPPORT INSTALLATION Refer to Figure 3-2. Install one (6) and (7) cylinder support onto the left main frame (5). Secure the cylinder support with hardware (E) through (H) on the wider tube, and (F) through (I) on the narrower tube. Install bolts so that the nuts are on the outside of frame.
3.5. REAR LIFT ARM INSTALLATION Refer to Figure 3-3. Install rear lift arm (8) to the main frame. Before inserting clevis pin (B), install nylon washer (J) between the main frame and the lift arm pivot plates. Insert clevis pin (B) through the lift arm end plates and hole in the lift frame.
3.6. HOSE / CYLINDER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION Refer to Figure 3-4. Install the hydraulic cylinders (11) onto the main frame. Place the cylinders in position so that the hydraulic fittings are facing upward. Place the cylinders in position and insert pin (L) through only one cylinder support plate.
3.7. MAIN FRAME AND LEG ASSEMBLY Refer to Figure 3-4. Install left side main frame (4) and right side main frame (5) onto each leg assembly. Use the alignment marks made in section 3.3 to position the left and right side main frames centered on the leg assemblies. Secure the left and right main frames to the leg assemblies using hardware E, F, G, &...
3.9. MAKING POWER CONNECTIONS Before making any hydraulic connections, inspect all hydraulic lines, fittings and hoses for leaks and risks of rupture as follows: Inspect each hydraulic line, fitting, and hose for breaks, cracks, worn spots, bulges, chemical attack, kinks or any other damage.
3.10. OPERATING POSITION After moving your lift to the operating position, ensure that the bottom lift frame assembly is square and sets level. Measure diagonally the inside edge of rear extension leg to inside edge of opposing front extension leg. Repeat for alternate corners. Lift is considered square when the difference between the two measurements shall not exceed 1/4 of an inch.
OPERATION 4.1. BEFORE OPERATING THE LIFT Review and follow all the safety precautions given in Chapter 1. Do not use the lift if it shows any signs of damage. Ensure that all bolts and nuts are fastened securely prior to operation. Ensure that the frame is square and that the lift sits level.
4.3. TESTING LIFT WITH REMOTES To unlock the remotes, press the two blue buttons simultaneously, this will unlock the unit. Press the ‘UP’ button to raise the lift platform. Press the ‘DOWN’ button to lower the lift platform. To lock the remote, press the two blue buttons simultaneously. 4.4.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 5.1. GENERAL MAINTENANCE RULES Do not allow persons other than authorized service personnel to repair this equipment. Completely lower the platform before performing any type of maintenance or repair. WARNING: NEVER ALLOW ANYBODY TO WORK IN OR ON THE BOAT WHEN IT IS SUSPENDED ABOVE THE WATER ON THE LIFT.

5.4. ANNUAL INSPECTION At least once a year, the lift must be thoroughly inspected using the following procedure. WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY TO USE THE LIFT UNTIL THIS MAINTENANCE IS COMPLETED. Tighten all bolts. Clean cylinder rods. Check that all the pivot pins are lubricated properly. Check frame thoroughly for defects.
It is recommended that as part of an annual maintenance program, the hydraulic system be drained and fresh Vegetable Grade hydraulic oil installed. RGC recommends CITGO Aqua Marine Hydraulic 46 (or equivalent biodegradable oil) be used. Lower the platform until the cylinders are fully retracted.
