Congratulations on the purchase of your new FLOE Lift!
Like you, I enjoy many kinds of waterfront activities, and I know that
to have fun I need to keep my boat secure, protected, and accessible.
Through my years of experience, I’ve learned how boat lifts should not
only protect your watercraft investment, but also be convenient and easy to use
- and I have developed them accordingly.
The fact that you purchased a FLOE boat lift tells me that you research a product thoroughly.
You will nd a FLOE boat lift has many innovative features that will ensure years of dependable
service, satisfaction, and enjoyment.
Because your FLOE boat lift is engineered to lift and support a tremendous amount of weight,
it is critical that you operate it safely. Anyone who operates this lift must read the entire owner’s
manual before operating the lift to make sure they are able to operate it properly and enjoy all of
its features to the fullest. See you on the water!

potential death.
CAUTION
Never allow anyone under this lift system,
especially while it is being operated, or it is
supporting the weight of a watercraft.
Stay clear of boat lift when someone if entering or
exiting the lift with a boat. Never try to assist the
boat’s direction while it is in motion (either from
inside or outside the boat).
Never work on or make adjustments to boat, boat
lift, or boat lift accessories while the lift is supporting
the weight of the boat.
This manual includes the latest information at the

before any adjustments or repairs are made to
the winch.
Always keep all people clear of the boat lift support structure and lifting cradle. Never swim
or play near a boat lift, even if it’s not being

If the boat lift system is not assembled, installed, or operated properly, mechanical failure,
as well as serious injury or death, could result. See to it that all users understand
that this lift system is a piece of heavy equipment that requires the use of good
judgement and the knowledge of its dangers and limitations.
WARNING
Lift must be assembled and installed
properly or mechanical failure and possible
injury may occur.
Never overload a boat lift. See capacities/
specications for important information
regarding the boat’s actual weight and boat
lift capacity limitations.
Never operate a boat lift that is not level.
Under normal conditions a boat lift
operates under extreme force. When the
lift is not level, these forces are greatly
multiplied and bodily injury or damage to
the lift can result.
Perform all inspections and maintenance on
a regular basis. Replace any worn parts immediately to avoid potential lift failure. Ensure
all pulleys are operating properly and that all
cables and their attach points are secure
and free of excessive wear and fraying. See
Inspections & Maintenance section for all
important details.
FLOE lift systems have not been tested in
brackish or salt water conditions. Lift failures
due to installations in brackish or salt water
locations will not be covered by FLOE’s
warranty. FLOE will not be responsible for
incidental or consequential damages
resulting from these installations.
Never install the lift system in a body of
water whereas either the rising water or
wave action will not always ow under the
main lift beam. For example, do not install
lift in bodies of water with signicant water
uctuation or large water bodies that have
excessive wave action.
Bodily injury or damage to lift system
may result if installation or removal of this
lift is attempted without rst reading and
understanding the installation and removal
section of this manual.
This manual is intended to serve as an owner’s use and maintenance guide for a lift that has been
properly assembled by a qualied, trained professional. Detailed assembly instructions
are packaged with the lift systems.

All dealers should have reviewed the checklist below with retail customers upon
purchase of a boat lift. If they did not cover this, retail customers must review
thoroughly and understand the statements below.
Certicate of
Boat Lift Pre-Delivery
Date of Purchase ______/______/______ Boat Lift Model ______________________________________
Customer Delivery: Each item must be initialed by the selling dealer upon sale.
______ I understand that the boat lift must be properly assembled and must be tested prior to use with a boat.
______ I understand that a serious injury or death could occur if a boat lift is overloaded, not correctly assembled,
installed, maintained or not used properly.
______ I was given an owner’s manual and I promise to read and understand it before using the boat lift.
______ I understand that it is my responsibility to get clarication on anything in the owner’s manual that I don’t fullly
understand before using the lift system.
______ I understand that I must educate all persons who will be around or using my boat lift as to how to do so safely.
______ I understand that people must stay clear of the boat lift when it is supporting the weight of the boat. No one
should ever swim under it, be on it, in the boat, or in any position that could cause harm to them if the lift
were to suddenly drop.
______ I understand safe operation of the lift requires people to stay clear of moving parts and pinch points.
______ I understand that a boat lift should never be overloaded under any circumstance. A boats published dry
weight is usually substantially lower than its actual loaded weight. Your boat should be weighed with fuel,
water, batteries and contents in order to know its actual weight.
______ I understand the total capacity of the boat lift is equal to the combination load limit of the two main end lift
beams. For instance, a lift with a 5,000 pound capacity has a load limit of 2,500 per lift end beam.
______ I understand that a 5,000 pound total boat weight could easily over-load one of the main lift beams on a
5,000 pound capacity lift. For instance, if the boat was positioned so that one main lift beam supported 3,000
pounds and the other only supported 2,000 pounds, the lift would be over-loaded. For this reason, FLOE
recommends that your total loaded boat weight doesn’t exceed 85% of the lifts rated capacity and that you
locate and place the boat’s center of gravity (balance point) in the center of the two lift beams.
______ I understand that the boat lift needs to be installed level and must be kept level while it is in use. A lift that
isn’t level will have a reduced lifting capacity of 5% per 1” of being out of level.
______ I understand that I need to pull the drain plug on my boat if it is subject to water accumulation as this could
easily overload the boat lift.
______ I understand that I should never lift my boat if it has been swamped or has any signicant additional water
weight in it that will overload the boat lift’s capacity.
______ I understand that if my lift is equipped with a canopy it must be properly secured or it could blow over and
cause damage not covered under warranty.
______ I understand that I must discontinue using the lift immediately and contact my FLOE dealer if any unusual
sounds or functionality are present.
______ I understand I must follow all inspection and maintenance procedures as outlined in my owner’s manual.

the water craft doesn’t exceed 85% of the total
