ShoreStation Boat Lifts and Dock

When greasing the hub, lower the platform until it rests on the lower frame.
Remove the acorn nut and flat washer on the lift wheel drive shaft. Turn the wheel counter-clockwise and remove it.
Place a light application of grease on the course threads. You'll find a tube of the recommended grease inside the winch housing.
After greasing the threads, thread the wheel back on until the winch mechanism begins to ratchet.
Replace the flat washer and acorn nut. Test the winch mechanism to make sure the brake system is functioning properly and will support a load in the raised position. If it does, the hoist is now ready to operate.

Be sure that the hoist platform is all the way up before storage. In this position, the ram on the cylinder is not exposed during the off season.
Disconnect the pump and motor and store inside.
If the pump and motor must be stored outside, they must be covered.
If possible the hoist pendant controller should be stored inside.
If it is not possible to store the pendant inside, the hoist controller pendant should be covered and hung upside down so water cannot enter the unit during thawing cycles.
For DC hoists, the battery should be fully charged and stored inside in a warm location on rubber or wood.
Fog the DC hoist pump with WD-40 per the troubleshooting guide instructions.

Ordinary oil and dirt can be removed with soapy water such as laundry detergent. Apply with a mop, sponge, brush or cloth followed by a clear-water rinse. Stubborn spots can be removed by using rubbing (Isopropyl) alcohol in a well-ventilated area, away from open flames. DO NOT USE gasoline, kerosene, methyl ethyl keyton (MEK) or other solvents or bleaches.
Remove canopy when hoist is in storage. Make sure canopy is dry before folding and store in a warm, dry location.
