Lifting

It is essential that care be used when lifting your boat. Make sure the spreader bar at each sling

is at least as long as the distance across the widest point of the boat that the sling will surround.

Put the slings in position. Refer to the sling locations drawing for the correct position of the lifting

slings. The fore and aft slings should tied together to prevent the slings from sliding on the hull.

BOATS CAN BE DAMAGED FROM IMPROPER LIFTING AND ROUGH HANDLING

WHEN BEING TRANSPORTED BY LIFT TRUCKS. CARE AND PROPER HANDLING

PROCEDURES MUST BE USED WHEN USING A LIFT TRUCK TO MOVE THE

BOAT. NEVER ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE BOAT WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT

OF WATER IN THE BILGE.

SEVERE GELCOAT CRACKING OR MORE SERIOUS HULL DAMAGE CAN OCCUR

DURING HAULING AND LAUNCHING IF PRESSURE IS CREATED ON THE GUN-

WALES (SHEER) BY THE SLINGS. FLAT, WIDE SLINGS AND SPREADERS LONG

ENOUGH TO KEEP PRESSURE FROM THE GUNWALES IS ESSENTIAL. DO NOT

ALLOW ANYONE TO HAUL YOUR BOAT WHEN THE SPREADERS ON THE LIFT

ARE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF THE GUNWALES.
