BATTERY

Always use AGM batteries and follow battery 
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. Improper 
use, or use of other batteries, have the potential 
to produce flammable hydrogen gas which can 
result in serious injury or death. If you have limited 
solar exposure when the lift is not in use (typically 
winter), consider moving battery to a temperate 
environment (garage) and leave on battery 
maintainer. 

SOLAR PANEL

Every Month (more as needed)

Wipe the solar panel with a clean, damp cloth to 
maintain its charging performance

IMPORTANT

ONLY ADD FLUID WITH LIFT IN 

DOWN POSITION

Hydraulic fluid shown with lift 

in the DOWN position

one

inch

1”

EVERY 6 MONTHS, WE RECOMMEND: 

. Inspect hoses, cylinders and fittings for leaks and 
wear
. Check wire terminals for snugness and corrosion
. Check hydraulic fluid level and clarity. The 
hydraulic fluid level should be about one inch below 
the top of the reservoir with the lift completely 
down. DO NOT add fluid with the lift in the raised 
position! Use only Basta Boatlifts approved fluid. 
The lift power system does not consume fluid, so if 
fluid is low, look for leaks

EVERY 3-5 YEARS, DEPENDING ON US-
AGE:

Flush hydraulic fluid. Visit the Basta Boatlifts 
service page for detailed instructions on how to 
perform a fluid flush. https://bastaboatlifts.com/
support/. 

Annual factory approved service is available. 
Contact your local dealer or Basta Boatlifts for 
additional information.
