Step 1: Slide the Hydraulic Hose Assembly through the access hole in the side of the fiberglass enclosure and attach the ends to their corresponding Quick Couplers.
Ensure each Quick Coupler is fully seated, tight and with no gap at the connection joint.

Step 2: Remove shipping plug in hydraulic reservoir and replace with breather plug before first use.

Step 3: Install Battery as shown. Connect the Red Battery Cable to the positive terminal (+) and the Black Battery Cable to the negative terminal (-).

Step 4: Before moving into the water, test the lift on dry ground using the Up/Down Switch and the Key Fob Transmitters. Inspect the system for leaks.

IMPORTANT
ONLY ADD FLUID WITH LIFT IN DOWN POSITION

Use a small amount of ‘moly’ lube on bolt threads through the assembly process.

Raise lift to install 1/4 x 1.75” bolts (“17”).

Bunk Rail Assembly

Placement may need to be modified based on watercraft draft and weather conditions.

  • Test lift on dry ground for leaks, remote control function and correct operation before moving into water. Tighten all hardware.
  • Lower the lift completely, then raise it slightly. Disconnect the Hydraulic Hose Quick Couplers in the Power Unit box to separate it from the lift.
  • Move the lift to final destination. Use this diagram to help place the lift. Lift placement should be so that the top of the aft end of the bunks are one foot above the highwater mark when the lift is in the full up position, and one foot below the low water mark, when the lift is in the down position.

IMPORTANT: The leveling process must be completed to ensure stability of the lift frame and Over-Center safety lock.

Level the lift following these instructions while referencing image below:

Step 1: Use a tape measure (reference image on right) to determine that the lower frame is level.

Step 2: If the lower frame needs to be raised start with the lowest corner first then work your way around the lift in a circle, corner to corner. Adjust the lift legs as needed.

Step 3: To make adjustments, first make sure the lift is properly supported.
Then, loosen the anti-sway bolts, remove the P-pin and raise or lower the lift crossmember on the leg. Level the lift one corner at a time, while making sure not to have more than 5” of difference in height between the corners to prevent binding.

BASTA BOATLIFTS-6-7k60-w-RBs-6,700-LB-Capacity-Boat-Lift-FIG-
\(27\)

Leveling requires a second person to support the crossmember while making adjustments.
If the lift is too heavy for two people, a ratchet strap or winch system will be required to raise/lower the frame corners.

Contact Basta at 866-GO-BASTA for additional help.

Re-connect the Hydraulic Hose Quick Couplers inside the Power Unit box.
Fully raise lift and finish adjusting the legs so that the base frame is level side-to-side and forward-to-aft. After the lift is assembled and installed, all fasteners should be checked for proper tightness and reinspected periodically.

Load the boat onto the lift using the following operational instructions:

  1. Align the boat so it is centered between the bunks side-to side.
  2. Move the boat forward to position its center of gravity near the bunks’ centers.

Perform the following adjustments to finalize the lift installation:

  1. Disembark and raise the boat.
    If more than two inches of settling occurs, STOP,carefully lower the lift to remove the boat and re-level the lift. Continue repeating this step until the lift can be raised into the full Over-Center™ position without settling.

  2. Remove the boat. Verify that the lift frame is level. Re-level the framework if necessary.

  3. Check all bolts for proper tightness.

OPTIONAL
The lift legs can be cut off above the leg sockets after installation for a cleaner look. First, make sure that the lift has fully settled and has been re-leveled.

NOTE: If you plan to add a canopy, relocate the lift into deeper water, or load a heavier vessel in the future, you must keep the existing leg length.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT:

  • If you purchase a new vessel, make sure does not exceed the weight capacity limits of the lift.
    Maximum weight capacity can be found on the cover of this manual and on the H frame of the lift.

  • Always turn power unit OFF when not in use.

  • Keep inside of power unit box dry.

  • To prevent unauthorized use lock box using padlock through the latch hasp.

  • Securing your mooring line to the dock may provide additional security should the lift be lowered inadvertently.

  • Leaving your bilge pump on the automatic setting may prevent the accumulation of rainwater in your vessel and overloading of the lift.

  • Service your lift according to recommended Maintenance (page 21).

  • Only use Basta Boatlifts approved fluid in lift. Contact Basta Boatlifts or authorized dealer for approved biodegradable hydraulic fluid.

  • When not in use, store the lift in the upright position to prevent it from being an unknown hazard underwater.

  • Store with the power off.

Step 1: Power on. Using the manual switch on the control panel, switch the On/Off switch to the “On” position.

Step 2: Lower the Lift. Using the Key Fob, unlock the Fob by pressing and releasing the lock button.
Next, press the down button to lower the lift.

Step 3: Carefully guide the watercraft off the lift. Repeat in reverse order upon return.
For more questions or troubleshooting, consult your Authorized Dealer, the FAQs page on Bastaboatlifts.com or give us a call at 425-641-8911.

REMOTE CONTROL FOB INFORMATION

FOB POWER-UP
After turning on the ON/OFF switch in the dock box, the fob receiver requires a 5 second delay before the fob is enabled.
FOB OPERATION
Depress the unlock button (lower right), this will allow normal operation of the fob. The lockout is re-enabled after 60 seconds without a button press. Lift operation using the fob is limited to 120 seconds of continuous operation. If a longer cycle is needed it is necessary to release button and then re-depress.

FOB PROGRAMMING

  1. Turn off the ON/OFF switch.
  2. Wait 20 seconds.
  3. Turn power back on, and within 5 seconds of power on, press both the UP and DOWN buttons on the fob simultaneously for 1 second then release.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 for additional Fobs. Up to four fobs may be enrolled. If a fifth fob is enrolled, the first enrolled fob will fall off the list.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Fob uses CR2032, 3 volt battery, commonly found online or at drug / hardware stores. Part numbers vary by manufacturer.

LOW BATTERY LOCKOUT
The remote control contains a low voltage lockout which is intended to protect the lift’s battery from over-discharge.

When the battery drops below the low battery threshold during operation, further use of the fob is not allowed. The manual UP/DOWN switches will allow the lift to operate when sufficient battery power is present. The lift should be checked and charged prior to further operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If fob worked previously, but does not currently, replace fob battery or verify fob battery has greater than 3v. If fob does not work after replacement of fob battery, load test lift battery ensuring voltage does not drop below 11v while in use. If you have questions, contact your local dealer or Basta Boatlifts.

UNDERWATER LIGHTS
The underwater lights are activated whenever the lift is operated. The lights stay on for 2 minutes after the lift is operated. The lights may be manually turned on or off by depressing the lower left button on the remote fob. When manually enabled the lights will automatically turn off after 4 minutes. This prevents accidental battery discharge.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAQ

For more answers to frequently asked questions, visit: bastaboatlifts.com/faqs

Q: THE BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE
A: Verify that the loaded watercraft is not exceeding the weight capacity of the lift. If the battery is a flooded-cell type, check the electrolyte level.
A: Ensure the solar panel is properly connected.
A: Re-align the solar panel for proper exposure to the sun.
A: Recharge the battery with a 10 amp charger and check the charge again.

A: If the lift is being used frequently during the day, it may be necessary to use a 110-volt maintainer/charger.

Q: THE REMOTE CONTROL IS NOT FUNCTIONING
A: The battery in the key fob transmitter may be low. Replace it with a new lithium CR2032. These are widely available at variety, hardware and even grocery stores. Polarity is marked on the battery holder.
A: Verify that the power unit battery is charged and connections are tight.
A: Reprogram the remote key fobs.

Q: THE PUMP DOESN’T RUN
A: Check the battery charge and recharge if necessary.
A: Check the battery connections, clean and re-secure if necessary.

Q: THE PUMP RUNS, BUT THE LIFT DOESN’T MOVE
A: Check the ‘Quick Couplers’ in the Power Unit.
If they are not screwed together tight enough,built-in check valves will not allow fluid to flow.
A: Check the fluid level. See Page 19.

Q: DOES THE LIFT HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY UP?
A: YES – in order for your lift to function as intended the lift must ALWAYS be stored in the full upright position when the watercraft is unattended.

Q: IS MY VESSEL SECURE?
A: Yes, once you verify that the lift is Over-Center™, switch off the power and lock the power unit box, there is less chance of theft.

Q: DO I NEED A MOORING LINE?
A: Under most circumstances one mooring line is sufficient to prevent the watercraft from drifting away if the lift is inadvertently lowered or the water level rises.

Q: HOW MUCH SUN DOES THE SOLAR PANEL NEED?
A: The panel should receive constant sun for at least 8 hours a day.

Q: HOW DO I CHANGE THE HYDRAULIC FLUID?
A: Our fluid should not require replacement for a considerable amount of time. If yours has been contaminated or the hydraulic power unit has been replaced, visit our web site at www.gobasta.com for detailed instructions.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THE FLUID?
A: Basta Boatlifts’ hydraulic fluid lasts between 3-6 years depending on usage. If you begin to hear an increased pitch in the sound of your pump motor, it is likely time to flush your hydraulic fluid. You can also tell by the clarity of the fluid.
Fluid that is ready to be changed will be dark in color or cloudy.
New fluid is clear.

Q: WHAT IF I GET A NEW VESSEL?
A: Re-leveling the lift may be necessary.
A new lift will be required if the watercraft exceeds the weight capacity of your current lift.

MAINTENANCE

FOR ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE:
Contact your local dealer or call 1-866-Go-Basta or email: service@gobasta.com

BATTERY
Always use AGM batteries and follow battery manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. Improper use, or use of other batteries, have the potential to produce flammable hydrogen gas which can result in serious injury or death. If you have limited solar exposure when the lift is not in use (typically winter), consider moving battery to a temperate environment (garage) and leave on battery maintainer.

SOLAR PANEL

Every Month (more as needed)
Wipe the solar panel with a clean, damp cloth to maintain its charging performance

IMPORTANT
ONLY ADD FLUID WITH LIFT IN DOWN POSITION
