PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
Pump runs but not at Low voltage to pump Check voltage. Increase power supply full speed.	Low voltage to pump	Check voltage. Increase power supply Wire size. See chart A
Pump runs but the platform won’t go up or down	Couplers not mated properly	Recheck couplings making sure they are properly mated and locked together.
Unit raises slowly	Low voltage to pump	Have wiring checked for proper size from power source.
	Unit is overloaded	Remove load. Check travel speed without load. Weigh load to see if load is within limits of the hoist capacity.
	Load on hoist is within hoist rated load	Pressure relief valve may be set to low. Contact local dealer to have the pressure checked and the valve reset.
Platform will not lower	Hose coupling are not fully connected	Recheck couplings making sure they are completely snapped together. Replace if needed.
	Push-button controller is not making proper connection	Check the connection between the controller and the pump unit. If problem is in the controller, contact your dealer.
	Solenoid is not pulling the spool valve open	Check solenoid, place screwdriver on nut of solenoid. Operate pump. Magnetism in solenoid will draw screwdriver if operating properly. Spool valve maybe stuck. Tap lightly on hex nut and spool valve located on face of solenoid. Retry, if it fails. Remove nut, solenoid and spool valve. Insert small phillips screwdriver into end of valve. Compress moving internal portion of valve 1/4”. Repeat several times. Reinstall. Contact your dealer.
	Low voltage	AC units must have 110 volts while motor is running. DC units must have 12 volts in battery.
Platform drifts down	Oil is seeping past the lift cylinder in the lift tube or a control valve.	Contact your dealer.
	Contamination in the oil	Flush the hydraulic system removing contamination. Refill with proper weight & grade of oil. See oil specifications.
	Air in system	Cycle system until air is removed. Re-check oil level in reservoir.
When controller is in ON position, platform doesn’t raise to the full UP position	Micro switch malfunction on hydraulic cylinder	Contact your dealer.
When controller is ON Pump continues to run when platform is completely raised.	Micro switch malfunction on hydraulic cylinder	Contact your dealer.
Pump makes squealing noise while running	Air in system	Raise & lower platform several times without load to remove trapped air. If squeal continues, contact your dealer.

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
Pump will not run	Circuit breaker in electrical panel not engaged	Engage circuit breaker
	Cord not plugged in	Plug in cord
	Loose wire connection	Check that all connections are tight.
	GFCI not reset	Reset GFCI by pushing the reset button on the GFCI. If GFCI won’t stay engaged, replace. See item D under General AC Electrical Items.
	Low voltage to unit	Check voltage. Proper voltage is critical to pump operation. Voltage should read 110 volts when the motor is running. If low, the unit will require heavier wire from the power source to the unit.
	Push-button control pendent not properly connected.	Check connection to the pump unit. Make sure the plugs are properly mated and locked together by turning the locking ring clockwise.

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
Pump won’t run.	Battery dead.	Check charge in battery. Recharge if necessary.
	Improperly sized battery	See General DC Electrical Items for Battery specifications.
	In-line fuse may be blown. (Located in the line when using boat battery)	Check and replace if bad.
	Bad connections. Either loose or corroded.	Tighten all connections. Clean if corroded.
	Bad ground connection	Make sure the ground connections on both the motor and battery are tight and not corroded.
	Push-button controller not properly connected.	Check connection to the pump unit. Make sure the plugs are properly mated and locked together by turning the lock ring clockwise.

Stains can be removed with a scrub pad and a product called “Orange Blast” or other similar orange citrus cleaner. Another product, called “Wipe and Shine”, generally used on tires, will bring back the shine of the original galvanization. This is the safest method we know of to clean galvanization as well as produce luster on this finish for boat shows.

To function properly, the hoist must be installed at a depth where the boat is nearly floating free in the lowered position and protected from the waves in the raised position. Maximum Water Depth measurements are taken on the lake end of the hoist with the legs fully extended. They are based on raising the boat out of the water 24 inches.

NOTE: In lakes with extremely rough water, the boat may need to be raised more than 24 inches. Minimum Water Depth is determined by taking the measurement listed on the following charts plus the draft of the boat. These measurements are taken at the end of the hoist closest to shore. The measurement listed is the distance from the platform to the ground when sitting on a level surface.

IMPORTANT: The boat draft must be added to the measurement on this chart to determine the true minimum water depth.
