Test lift on dry ground for leaks, remote control function and correct operation before moving into 

water. Tighten all hardware.

Lower the lift completely, then raise it slightly. Disconnect the Hydraulic Hose Quick Couplers in the 

Power Unit box to separate it from the lift.

Move the lift to final destination. Use this diagram to help place the lift. Lift placement should be so 

that the top of the aft end of the bunks are one foot above the high water mark when the lift is in 

the full up position, and one foot below the low water mark, when the lift is in the down position.
