Step #1 – Sort Hardware
Open the hardware box and bag and sort the hardware and other contents by size. Locate the
fastener finder sheet in the hardware box to help identify the fasteners used in the assembly of
these lifts.
Step #2 – Assemble Base Pads
Collect enough of the fasteners and items shown below to assemble four base pads. Align the
channel clamp with the holes in the base pad as shown, insert bolts from the bottom up and
secure with lock nuts. Tighten and repeat for all four base pads.

Step #3 – Assemble Base Pads to Legs
Locate the leg bundle or bundles and cut the bands to open it up. Locate the leg lift rods and
other components shown. Slide the end of the leg lift rod with the hole in it thru the channel
clamp and the adjustable leg tube as shown and secure with the hair pin cotter.
Note that the rods should be inserted in the same direction as that of the u-bolt. Slide the grip
onto the other end of the lift rod. Repeat this process on the remaining legs.

Step #4 – Assembly of Lower Side Frame
Using the chart at the top of page 6, locate the correct components that are included in the
lower frame bundle. Your assembly will start by laying two legs down with the corner blocks as
shown, for the model that you are assembling. Make sure at this time that you are matching
the legs according to the decals applied. Slide a sideframe tube over the corner block and
insert the short bolt (see chart on page 6) with a 3/8” flat washer into the hole closest to the
post assembly. Secure with flat washer and brass locknut. DO NOT TIGHTEN.

Step #5 – Attach Front & Rear Frame Crossmembers
Using the chart, locate the correct length tubes for crossmembers. With the unit still laying on
it’s side, slide the crossmembers over the other corner block leg and insert the short bolt with a
washer into the hole closest to the post and secure on the bottom with a flat washer and brass
lock nut. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
Step #6 – Complete Frame Corner Assembly
Flip the entire assembly upright onto the base pads.
Locate the long bolts (from the table below) and the bottom corner cable bracket. Insert the
long bolt with a flat washer thru the second hole from the post, thru the frame tubes and then
thru the corner cable bracket on the bottom as shown. Secure with a flat washer and brass
lock nut. Do not tighten.

Step #7 – Complete Bottom Frame & Post Assembly
Insert the corner blocks of the two remaining leg assemblies into the crossmembers as shown
below, insert short bolts with washers in the holes closest to the posts to keep them in place.
Pull the legs apart slightly and slide the other side frame over the corner blocks and secure
these also with short bolts, washers, and brass lock nuts. Square the frame and tighten all
hardware installed.
Attention
Properly Securing a Lift’s Lower Frame
Tighten all fasteners with an air or battery powered high torque impact wrench. It’s
important to tighten the fasteners so the platform tube pulls tight to the corner block.
The fastener needs to slightly crease the tube wall until there is no gap between the
tube and the corner block. In some instances the impact wrench may not have enough
torque and it may be necessary to hand tighten in order to achieve contact with the
corner block.

Step #8 – Assemble the Lift Platform
Lay the V-Shaped cradle tubes across the lower frame as shown. Place the end with the lift
cable threaded out the bottom on the same side as the corner cable brackets.
Slide two carriage bolts into the top slot and 2 into the bottom slot on the inside of the cradle
tube. Using those bolts, mount a pair of side rail brackets on each end of the cradle tube as
shown above. Position the outer edge of the brackets at least 3 inches from the end of the
cradle tube. It is important to keep this distance equal on all four corners to keep it square.
Insert a carriage bolt into the corner guide as shown and slide the head into the top slot in the
cradle tube. Secure corner guide with a flat washer and lock nut. Do the same on the other
three corners. Do not tighten at this time.

Insert the platform rails into the space between the mounting brackets and between the vframes Note: that the platform I-beam that is used on the 1500# and 2000# models will require
spacers to be inserted under the I-beam and on top of the lower mounting bracket. Secure with
bolts, washers and nuts as shown.
The following picture shows the position of the level cable as it comes over the pulley in the
cradle tube and out the bottom to go to the cable mounting bar attached to the corner of the
lower frame. Note the other two holes on the end of the cradle tube. These will be used later to
attach the cables coming from the bottom of the lift tube.

Step #9 – Attach the Level Cable
Attach the level cable as shown inserting the cable into the hole closest to the sideframe and
securing with a flat washer and 2 brass hex nuts (see chart on page 12 for hardware sizes).
The first nut will be run to the bottom of the threads and the second run down and secured
tightly against the first. Repeat on other level cable.
Step #10 – Install the Drop Side or Spacer Brace Tube
The drop side or spacer brace tube is located opposite the lift tube so install it on the posts
opposite the corner cable brackets. The 1500# thru 7000# EDS lifts use a drop side brace
tube. The 1500# thru 7000# M lifts use a spacer brace tube. Locate the appropriate brackets
and hardware from the illustrations below. Mount the drop side to the post as shown, keeping
the lock nuts on the outside. Adjust brackets on both sides the height indicated by the decal
found on the posts and tighten all fasteners securely.

Step # 11 – Attach Level Cables to Drop Side or Brace Tube
Insert the ends of the level cables (from the cradle tubes) directly up thru the drop side or
brace tube and secure with hardware from chart below. Hint: Block the platform off the lower
frame about 6 inches to create enough slack for the cable to pass thru the brace tube.

Step #15 – Connecting Lift Tube Cables
The cables on the Mechanical winch lifts should be down so they can be attached to the lift
platform.
 Attaching cables to Aluminum Cradle Tubes: the cable coming from the outside pulley of
the Lift Tube goes thru the outside holes in the Cradle Tube. The cable coming from the
inside pulley, on the other end of the Lift Tube, goes thru the inside hole on the Cradle
Tube.
Secure the cables to the Cradle Tubes with 2 brass nuts and a flat washer as shown below.
Refer to the chart on page 12 for the proper sizes.

Step #16 – Attaching Upper Limit Switch for FlexPower Lifts
Attach the upper limit switch to the
bottom of the winch tube assembly
as shown. The holes will allow the
switch to be adjusted so the cable
will travel thru the center of the slot
in the pivot arm. The grommet and
wire tie are to be mounted to the
cable, the final placement will not
be made until the lift is in the water
and the boat can be loaded into the
lift.
Step #17 – Mounting the Battery Box
Follow the instructions for assembly and mounting that are included with the HA0131 Kit for 1500# thru 4000#
and HA0109 kit for 5000# and 6000#.
Step #18 – Mounting the Battery Tender
Follow the instructions for assembly and mounting that are included with the HA Kit.
Step #19 – Mounting the Support Structure
A – Mounting the bunks
Follow the instructions for assembly and mounting that are included with the HA Kit.
B – Mounting the Pontoon Kit
Follow the instructions for assembly and mounting that are included with the HA Kit.
C – Mounting the Pontoon Log Rack and Loadguide

Step #20 Attaching the Motor Stop – For 1500# & 2000# Lifts
Note; The optional HA0151 Motor Stop kit assembly will be used on models 1500# and
2000# lift models. Refer to the instructions included in the HA kit
®
Note; The optional HA0087 Motor Stop kit assembly will be used on models 3000# thru
7000# lift models. Refer to the instructions included in the HA kit.
Step #21 – Inserting Caps
If you are adding a canopy you can omit this step
in the assembly process. The last step would be
to go around and put the black plastic caps in the
top of the leg post. Before calling your assembly
complete take one last walk around your hoist
and make sure all nuts and bolts have been
tightened, all cables are secured, and all hoses
and electrical connections are together.
