It is the responsiblity of
the installer to warn all
potential end users of
the dangers of interfering
with mechanisms during

Check the operation of the mechanism
Firstly, remove the
cable ties that keep the
mechanism safe and
secure during transit.
There are usually 6 ties
in the locations circled
on the image, right.
However, on some models
there may be more than
6 cable ties.

The surfaces of the flap should ideally be varnished
or painted to help prevent it from warping.

Place the objects on a flat surface to make
sure the edges are properly alligned
when they come into contact.

FIXING
Firstly, before attempting
to fix the base panel to
the mechanism, it will
be necessary to
remove the mounting
frame, for ease of
working.
Make sure the base panel
lines up squarely, directly
on top of the lifting beam.
Always consult
ML TECHNICAL SHEET
before fabricating any
flaps or base panels.
VIEWING SIDE
1 large hole to be
drilled in base panel.
This hole should be
86mm to allow for
adjustment later.
The hole's centre has
to be 72.5mm away
from the back edge
of the base panel.
DETAIL A
SCALE 1 : 5
Try to use as many self adhesive pads
as possible to get the most secure fixture.
Remove the screen mount from the mechanism and put the
base on the beam. With the base panel on the beam, it will
be possible to mark where the wood screws will need to go
through the support plates into the base panel. Mark
where the holes need to go and then drill a pilot
hole for the screws. Then screw in the
provided wood screws with washers.

Place the mechanism within the cabinet.
Raise the beam to the top and guide base
through the opening in the top. IR remote
STOP button will stop the lift.
With the base properly located, use the 8
pointed screws supplied, 4 on each side,
to pin the mechanism in place, fixing its
position left and right. These 8 screws
should be screwed through the middle
hole of each of the clusters of 3,
shown below right.
With the lift fixed in position, use 8 wood
screws on each side to secure the
lift to the cabinet.

MOUNTING
THE FRAME
Once the base panel has
been positioned correctly
and properly secured, it
is then possible to re-attach
the mounting frame.
Firstly make sure the
mechanism is in the
'Home' position.
There should be a gap of about 3mm
around the edges of the base panel
to the cabinet.
Then the screen mounting
frame can be bolted down.
Make sure the mounting
frame is square with the
slot in the cabinet.

By loosening the M6 bolts on each

the position of the flap in the hole
in the cabinet top. Aim for a
3mm gap all round.

By winding the push rods on each side, you can
adjust the height of the flap in order to get it level
with the cabinet top. Be sure to lock the nut securely
once adjusted. Make sure the black plate doesn't
touch the inside of the cabinet. This can cause
strain on the motor, leading to failure.

Stage 8
Checking the screen mount
With a standard marine lift, the supplied mounting type will be either a Group A or C framework, or a VESA 200 mount.
Check that the type supplied suits the screen that is going to be mounted to the mechanism.
Group A or C Framework
Remove the uprights, hightlighted above,
and fix them to the back of the screen
using the appropriate fixings.
VESA 200 Mount
Remove the screen plate,
hightlighted above, and fix
it to the back of the screen
using the appropriate

CABLES
When the screen is in
position, the cables can be
connected and run down
into the cabinet.
Fixing the screen to the lift
Before mounting any screen, press STOP on the IR
remote in order to prevent any motor movements
during the mounting procedure.
Make sure the swivel is in the HOME position!
Simply mount the screen on to the mount supplied
with your mechanism. The example below
shows a Group A framework.
Pass the cables through
the centre of the aluminium
shaft at thye base of the
framework. Once inside the
cabinet, pass the cables
into the cable management
system. This resembles a
black chain running from
the beam to the base of the
cabinet that the cables can
be pushed inside to keep
them tidy.
The cable management
system is circled near left.
FUTURE
The height of the inner framework is
adjustable. The inner uprights will
slide inwards to allocate different
mounting systems.
