Dimension “B” is the distance between the water and the HoverCover frame when the lift
is in the down position. The HoverCover can be set to the following range of heights
shown below.
A
MAXIMUM HEIGHT - 73"/185cm
MINIMUM HEIGHT** - 55"/140cm
B
MAXIMUM HEIGHT - 102"/259cm

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If you have any questions, please call your dealer, or Sunstream at (888)786-5438
Save These Instructions
Your safety and the safety of others is very important. Proper use of the information in this manual will
help avoid potential hazards that could cause damage to property and/or personal injury. It is not possible,
however, to identify and warn users of all hazards associated with the assembly, installation, operation, and
maintenance of the FloatLift. You must use your own good judgment.
Failure to comply with the following rules may result in severe injury and/or death and damage
to property.
1. Refer to your FloatLift™ owner’s manual to review safety specifications for your FloatLift.
2. The HoverCover moves from a raised position to a lowered position relative to your boat. In
the lowered position, the HoverCover is meant to provide a close fit to your watercraft. Be
aware of people in the boat and the risk of the HoverCover contacting them.
3. Be sure the HoverCover’s height range is properly adjusted for your watercraft to avoid
damage to boat windshields or other high reaching fixtures.
4. Avoid putting your hands or other body parts on the HoverCover’s moving parts while the
HoverCover operates. Do not let children or others contact the HoverCover’s moving parts
while it operates.
5. Be aware of environmental forces while using the HoverCover. Strong winds may cause the
cover to become unstable. Excessive wave action may cause the cause the cover to become
unstable. Remove the fabric cover in the case of predicted extreme weather.
6. The HoverCover is a lightweight structure that is NOT designed to hold body weight. DO
NOT hang from the HoverCover.
7. Always leave the HoverCover in the retracked, gravity lock lift position to prevent damage
caused by wind and waves.
MAINTENANCE
1. Sunstream recommends an annual inspection by your Sunstream dealer.
2. Refer to your FloatLift™ owner’s manual to review maintenance requirements for your FloatLift.
3. Check telescoping PVC guides for binding and add light lubrication as needed. If binding continues,
wrap duct tape around base of outer PVC Guide.
4. Check Velcro connections from time to time to ensure a continued tight fit.
5. Report evidence of excessive wear and tear to your Sunstream dealer or to Sunstream.
6. Remove canopy cover before snowfall.
7. Remove canopy cover if winds exceed 30 mph for a prolonged period of time.
8. Do not allow water to collect on the canopy fabric. Re-tighten tightening cords and/or adjust rafters
to avoid such water collection.
9. Remove your canopy top for off-season storage or if boat is not on lift for an extended period of time.
10. Tighten nuts and bolts as needed.
