Bel�ore you begin... I The GEAR DRIVEO can be mounted to either wood or concrete pilings. The pilings are the foundation of the boat lift and must be able to carry the load of the lift and the boat to be lifted. Loc I or National code and common practice varies from area to area. Consult the GEAR DRIVEO sal s literature or call Hi -Tide for appropriate diagrams. S, ep 1: Setting of Top; Carriers Scaffold and cut pilings to equal to height and level tops. "I'll Pre -drill %1' hole in pilings and CM mount top carriers using lag bolts. Be certain inside arrows on top carriers faces inside of slip. Attach mounting brackets to top carriers. Leave nuts loose. Insure top carriers are level and square, then tighten all bolts. mbly, P.

This will assure clearance entering and leaving the cradle as the tide changes. For shallow water installations, a reference mark can be placed on a cable to Indicate that the cradle has contacted bottom. Turning lift off at this point will prevent the cable winds from being tangled. H shallow water conditions exist, Halide strongly recommends the fitment of a limit switch. ortant Notes to Installer: t is the responsibility of the Installer to insure that.
