HELPFUL TIPS ABOUT COMPONENTS OFA BOATHOUSE LIFT

A boathouse lift uses a hoist, cables, and pulleys to lift a boat. The boat hoist turns a pipe upon whichthe cable is wound, and the cable extends to the sides of the boathouse, travels down via pulleys, andthen attaches to either slings or a cradle.

• BOATHOUSE CONSTRUCTIONAlthough some are made with steel, most boathouses are constructed of wood anddesigned with a roof to protect boats from the weather. A boathouse lift attaches to theroof joists of the boathouse. Typical installations require three joists for mounting. Onejoist is dedicated to the boat hoist-the gear and motor unit which turns the pipe. Theother two joists support the pipe and pulleys that carry the cable down to the boat.

For added strength, wood constructed boathouses usually double up the joists to carrythe load of the boat. Mounting brackets are through-bolted to the roof joists.

For boathouses built with steel, joists are boxed, steel beams and typical installationbrackets are used. If the joists are steel I-beams, special I-beam brackets are used whichclamp to the I-beam so no drilling is necessary.

Caution: Drilling through the side of an I-beam destroys its structural integrity.

• SLINGS AND CRADLESBoathouse lifts use either polyester slings or steel cradles to lift a boat.

Cradles are made up of two steel I-beams that have attachment points on the ends forcables. They include brackets for holding carpeted, bunk boards that the boat restsupon. Boat cradles can be set-up for different hull shapes such as V-hull or flat bottomboats. Pontoon brackets are also available which allow for a pair of bunk boards on eachside of the cradle for both pontoons. Cradles work well for in-board boats and workbest with four posters but require more depth in the slip.

• SLING / CRADLE SPACINGSetting-up spacing between slings or cradle beams is important for proper support ofthe boat and proper functioning of the lift. The center of gravity of the boat must be inthe middle, either between the two slings or the cradle beams.

First, set the rear sling or cradle beam near the rear of the hull but make sure it clearsthe motor and is properly supporting the boat. Then calculate the distance from thatrear support to the center of gravity of your boat. The rear beam or sling should not beany more than 18'' from stearn of the boat. The boat’s stearn can not hang out anyfurther than this or they is a risk of cable breaking. Since the center of gravity is alsothe center of your slings or cradle, use that measurement to find the position for thefront sling or cradle beam. The next support should be no more than 12 feet forward onboats under 34 fett and 14 feet forward for larger boats up to 39 feet. If it is too farforward and the hull is starting to slope up then re-adjust the position of your supports.Finally, double check everything to make sure the center of gravity of the boat iscentered on the lift and that the support of the boat’s hull is sufficient.

When determining the overall weight of the load a hoist must lift, rememberto include the dry weight of the boat, weight of the fuel, gear such as coolers,skis, tuna or wakeboard towers, etc. PLUS the weight of the boat cradle.

HELPFUL TIPS ABOUT COMPONENTS OFA BOATHOUSE LIFT

• HOISTS

A hoist should NEVER be used to lift human beings. Hoists are not designed, nor intended to lift human beings, or to lift loads overareas where humans might be. NEVER use this hois t for any other applicationother than the one for which it is designed.

A boat hoist is an electric drive unit that is part of a lift. It torques the drive pipe andprovide power to the lift. A flat plate hoist, using an electric motor to drive a wormreduction, is one of the most common types. This type hoist drives a pipe the length of thelift, upon which the cable wraps.

A flat plate hoist IS NOT a load bearing unit.

Hoists capacities range from around 3000 lbs up to 8500 lbs when wrapped on a standardsized pipe. Hoist capacities are based upon the differences in materials with which thecomponents are manufactured, the power rating of the motor used, and the gear ratio. Nomatter what size motor used, your gear can only lift the load for which it is rated.

The factory rating on BH-USA flat plate hoists use a 5 to 1 ratio from motor to pulley anda 2-3/8''OD*diameter pipe for the cable. All BH-USA gearplates have a rating which canbe found on the serialized label located on either the front or back of the gearplate.

REMEMBER: The lifting capacity of your hoist/lift is only as high as the weakestrated component used. Altering ratios of a BH-USA gearplate voids the lifetimeGPA warranty.

• INSTALLATION STYLESThe most common boathouse lift installation uses a single pipe lengthwise in the center ofthe boathouse. Cables extend across, in either direction, to four pulleys and then down tothe sling or cradle. Some lifts may be set-up with the pipe all the way on one side of theboathouse and two cables extending across the boathouse to pulleys on the other side,while the other two cables go down directly from the pipe. These lifts typically cannot liftas much weight because of the opposing forces of the cables.

Some boathouse lifts use a two-pipe configuration with separate pipes on each side of theboathouse. This arrangement requires two boat hoists (drives) and will lift more weight.(See Appendix A - BH-USA Overhead Lift Guide for more information)

• COMPOUNDINGThe simplest method for building a boathouse lift that can lift more weight is to usecompounding. Compounding uses pulleys to lessen the load on the hoist. Pulleys areattached to the slings or the cradle and then the cable is routed back up to the top of theboathouse where it is dead-ended. This cuts the amount of weight being lifted by the hoist,in half, but it also reduces the speed of the boathouse lift by the same amount. When usingcompounding to upgrade an existing lift, be sure that the boathouse and the cradle cansupport the extra load.

Compounding can increase the lifting capacity but significantly reduces thespeed of the lift.


• SWITCHES Drum switches are used to turn the hoist on and off. BH-USA switches have holesdrilled for proper mounting. Mounting the switch incorrectly may cause malfunctions.BH-USA typically carries two types of switches. Maintain switches (also know asLock-On) will stay in position until manually turned off. They feature durable housingswith extended handles for easy grip and wiring directions that work with most brandsof boat hoist motors. BH-USA also carries Spring switches (also referred to asMomentary). These types of switches require the user hold the handle in the up ordown position to lift or lower the boat. The switch will turn itself off when pressure isreleased from handle. They also feature durable housings for easy wiring, and directionsfor most brands of boat hoist motors. BH-USA carries the Bremas brand switch.

For your safety, BH-USA only uses electrical components that are UL, CE or NEMAcompliant in all hoist electrical systems.

CAUTION: Never attempt to hang a switch from the boat hoist. This is extremely dangerous!

• GFCI’S (GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS)The GFCI is designed to protect from severe or fatal electrical shock and is located inthe cord that plugs into the outlet. It monitors electricity flowing in a circuit, sensesany differing or loss of current, and quickly switches off power to the circuit.

BH-USA’s motor technicians ALWAYS test the GFCI’s in all motors wired from BH-USA.

If you have a BH-USA hoist and the GFCI is not present it is safe to assumethat the motor was not wired by BH-USA, or that your installer may haveremoved it. In this case it is important to have a certified electrician check theoverall system before using the hoist.

If a GFCI keeps shutting your system down, it is doing its job and you should have acertified electrician check for a potentially dangerous voltage leak.

Never plug a GFCI into another GFCI.

• WIRELESS REMOTESWireless remotes are very convenient because they enable you to lower the lift whenbringing the boat in, allowing for changes in water levels. A remote’s control boxreplaces the manual switch and controls the motor, and it has manual controls as well.Wireless transmitters are available. Remotes can be purchased with an automatic stopthat has a pre-set “up position” and a pre-set “down position” for one-touch operation.BH-USA recommends Gem Remotes which can be purchased at BH-USA.com.

BH-USA supplies a hardened GR5 bolt with all hoists and A-drives, to attachthe drive pipe to the hoist. It is the end-users responsibility to ensure that theinstaller did use the GR5 bolt supplied by BH-USA, using a weaker grade boltcan cause the weaker bolt to fail and drop the boat.


CAUTION… CHECK YOUR VOLTAGEIn most cases lowvoltage will not bedetected until theload is on the hoist.Have an installer liftthe boat completelyout of the water toensure low voltage isnot a problem.Inexpensive voltmeters and testers areavailable at BH-USA.com, and aresimple to use. Lower the boat intothe water, plug thevolt meter into thesame outlet as thehoist motor, turn thehoist on to lift andwatch the voltage inreal time. If at anypoint the voltagedrops below 110V or220V (for 220operation) then youhave low voltage andthis will eventuallydamage the motor.

DO NOT CONTINUETO USE THE HOISTIF YOU HAVE LOWVOLTAGE.

HELPFUL TIPS ON FLAT PLATE HOIST MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION

BEFORE FIRST USE - UNPACK HOIST AND CHECK EQUIPMENT• Keep a service record. Warranties depend on annual professional inspections and proper

maintenance.

• Grease the hoist with BH-USA grease and run the lift up and down without the boat to ensureproper distribution to all mechanical parts. *

• Tighten all set screws.If mounting vertically, apply Loctite or a similar product, to the set screwsto avoid pulleys from slipping due to loosened screws.

• Check back plate bearing and confirm that the snap rings are seated and secure.

• Check the drive belt, when properly mounted the 2'' pulley should line-up with the 10'' pulley,and the belt should move no more than 1/2'' when pressed. Motor must be mounted straight toallow pulleys to line-up. Failing to do this will effect the rating of the hoist.

• Follow the arrow on the gear and be sure it is turning in the right direction as you lift the boat.The arrow tells the end-user what side bushing the gear presses against.

• Run the hoist a minimum of ten cycles before any load is placed on it, known as the “break-inperiod”. Hoists not properly broken-in may be permanently damaged causing squealing,typically in the downward cycle. Always allow the motor to cool properly after each cycle.

• Inspect for anything that could put extra stress on the gear.

• Check weight being lifted to rated capacity. (See page 5 for helpdetermining lifting capacity.)

GREASING THE HOIST

Flat plate hoists are NOT greased at the factory to prepare themfor use. BH-USA Hoists must be properly greases before use, andre-greased after every 20 cycles. Heavy rain will also wash greaseoff and require the hoist to be re-greased.

CAUTION… DON’T VOID THEHOIST WARRANTYThe following WILLvoid warranty andcause permanentdamage to the hoist:

Welding the hoist tothe structure;

Using all four holes tomount the hoist;

Mounting the hoist asload bearing;

Mounting the hoistwith the motor UPand not supported.

CORRECTLY GREASING THE HOIST

BH-USA Hoists Use Two Di�erent Blocks Depending Upon The Model.The BH-85, 65, 45, 35 Large Block is shown above.

The BH-30, 40 Small Block only has two grease �ttingsthat grease the �ange bushings. Grease with NO LOAD On The Hoist. Flange bushings on each side of the worm housing are commonly the cause of any noise in a hoist.

IMPORTANT GREASE POINTS ON THE BH-USA GEAR PLATE

�• BACK PLATE BEARING FITTING: Found on thehub of the 96-tooth worm gear; pump greaseinto the fitting then rotate the gear a quarterturn. Repeat this four times until the gearhas gone a full revolution and is completelylubricated.

�• FITTING DIRECTLY OVER THE WORM: This fit-ting can be greased with the load on thehoist. Grease then rotate the 96-tooth gear aquarter turn and repeat. Use a paint brush tocoat the gear completely.

�• FLANGE BUSHINGS - ONE ON EACH SIDE OFTHE WORM HOUSING: These fittings arecommonly the cause of any noise in a hoist.With NO LOAD on the hoist, use a mallet togently tap the shaft to the left, then pumpgrease into the far grease fitting. Run thehoist one complete cycle and then repeat. Ifthere is a load on the hoist the worm pres-sure will not be released from the flangebushing and grease will not penetrate intowhere it should:

HELPFUL TIPS ON FLAT PLATE HOIST MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION

COMMON REASONS THAT CAUSE PLATES TO SQUEAL OR“SCREAM” IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, UP AND DOWN

Hoist is not plumb or straight, that is, the back plate has bowed or is bent.

The flat plate hoist back plate must be completely flat. Check the installationon flat plate hoists on page 6 to be sure it is installed correctly. If the installation is correct, try slightly loosening the bolts. If the beam thatthe plate is bolted to is not straight, then as the bolts are tightened the backplate could bend and form to the beams. If one side is loosened and the platefollows the nut then this is the issue. Putting a direct load on the hoist will also cause it to “scream” when lifting, inboth directions.

SQUEALS GOING DOWN ONLY

Flange bushing inside the worm housing needs to be greased.

This sound is caused when the flange bushing inside the housing is bare andhas no lubrication or grease. If the hoist is new, and makes this noise from thestart, it could mean that the worm has a “burr” or rough spot that is beingpressed against the flange bushing.

Take the load off of the hoist and tap the end of the shaft to release the pres-sure of the worm to the flange bushing, and grease very generously.

You might have to replace the worm housing if the hoist is older or greasingdoes not help.

If this is a brand new hoist and grease doesn’t help, contact BH-USA.

THE CHOICE IS YOUR’S…BH-USA is unbiased on recommendations of flat plate hoists versus an enclosedworm gear. There are advantages to both. The exposed gears on a flat plate hoist allow detection of problems which can beclearly seen, whereas the enclosed hoist does not. The flat plate hoist is repairable and requires regular maintenance, but offers morelifting capacity for your dollar. An enclosed gear hoist is maintenance free, and when correctly installed, will notdrip grease on boats or surfaces because it is contained within the housing,however it also does NOT allow for repair. An enclosed gear hoist like the BH-USA A-Drive is faster and will run at ahigher RPM.


MAINTAINING YOUR FLAT PLATE HOIST

Never attempt to weld a hoist to thestructure.

The pipe should move freely in and out ofthe unit sleeve, if it does not, the unit is in abind and will need to be re-installed andaligned.

Properly grease the unit after each use.

Do not operate the unit after a lifting cycle,for at least 3 to 4 minutes.

Always use two of the four bolt holesprovided, drilling holes in the plate can warpthe plate and void the warranty.

Changing the diameter of the lifting pipe orany of the pulleys will alter the hoists' ratingcapabilities.

Only use actual boat hoist motors with anRPM of 1750 or less.

CAUTION… DON’T VOID THE FLAT PLATE HOISTWARRANTYThe following WILL void warranty and causepermanent damage to the hoist:

• Mounting hoist to a wood beam;

• Using one hoist to lift front of boat andone to lift the back of the boat;

• Welding any part of the lift to the structure.

Open gear, flat plate systems, will makenoise, leave metal shavings or boil grease offwhen placed in overloaded conditions orinstalled incorrectly.

The enclosed A-Drive conceals all thesecharacteristics, therefore we recommend oneach installation that the voltage drop bechecked under load. Determine the voltage at the service panel.Then check the voltage across L-1 and L-2 oneach motor while lifting the load.

The drop must not exceed 4%. If the drop ismore than 4%, the problem must beaddressed.

HELPFUL TIPS ON THE BH-USA A-DRIVE HOIST (ENCLOSED WORM GEAR REDUCER)

OVERHEAD INSTALLATION

BEFORE FIRST USE - UNPACK YOUR HOIST AND CHECK EQUIPMENT

• Keep a service record. Warranties depend on annual professional inspection and propermaintenance.

• Inspect piling alignments for anything that could put extra stress on the gear.

• Check weight being lifted to rated capacity.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BH-USA WORM GEAR REDUCERThe BH-USA A-Drive is a double worm gear reducer, meaning a C-face electric motor mounts directlyto the small input worm reducer, and this in turn, powers the larger reducer that has the output shaft. There is an output shaft on the larger reducer designed to except a hardened shaft. BH-USA manufacturesbrackets for specific installations.

The Worm Gear reducer or any other boat hoist is not designed to be loadbearing. BH-USA supplies a hardened GR5 bolt with all hoists and A-drives, to attach thedrive pipe to the hoist. It is the end-users responsibility to ensure that theinstaller did use the GR5 bolt supplied by BH-USA, using a weaker grade boltcan cause the weaker bolt to fail and drop the boat.

• To run the cable use BH-USA Blocks.

• It is crucial that the lifting cable be between two pipe sleeves.

• Never use the A-Drive as a pipe support.

• For more lifting power or to keep the center clear of the lifting pipe BH-USA suggestsa twin drive system with a hoist on both sides of the boat.

The BH-USA A-Drive can be used on the all aluminum BH-USA 4-Post lifts as analternative to the flat-plate hoist, by using the BH-USA A-Drive Brackets.

CAUTION… DON’T VOID THEBH-USA A-DRIVEWARRANTYThe following WILLvoid warranty andcause permanentdamage to the hoist:

• Using the BH-USAA-Drive as loadbearing.

• Not using anapproved BH-USA A-DRIVE Mount

• Welding the hoistor any other item tothe structure

• Exceeding therated lifting capacity

• Installing the A-Drive in an overheadinstallation notapproved in the BH-USA Overhead LiftGuide

• Mounting on BH-USE A-Drive in frontand on in the back

HELPFUL TIPS ON BOAT LIFT MOTORS

Warning! All electrical troubleshooting and testing should be performed by aqualified electrician! Never test a motor, switch or other electrical componentwith the motor plugged in to a live power source!

TROUBLE-SHOOTING• Check that the motor is plugged in.

• Check that the power is on and breakers are reset.

• Check that the GFCI is reset.

• Verify power at the outlet with a portable light or voltage tester.

• Does the motor turn in one direction but not the other with nothing on it? If so theproblem is most likely with the drum switch.

• Check the switch connections for corrosion or poor connection.

• Check the wiring connections at the motor for the wires coming from the switch.*

Warning! Avoid Burn-up… All motors are wired 220/230 from the factory. Ifyou order “motor only” with no wiring harness or switch, and plan to use yourmotor on 110/115 service it must be rewired.

• MOTOR WON'T START TURNING, BUT IF STARTED MANUALLY, IT WILL RUN.

• In all probability, the capacitor has failed. Replacing the capacitor should allow themotor to start properly.

Warning! Avoid serious injury by NEVER using your hands to manually start amotor.

• MOTOR CAN'T BE TURNED AT ALL BY HAND WHEN THEPOWER IS OFF.

• Remove the motor from the lift.

• If the motor can NOT be turned by hand while it is not on the lift, the motor isfrozen and must be replaced.

• If the motor can be turned by hand while it is not on the lift, check the gearbox forproblems.

• Check to see if the gearbox is stuck.

• Troubleshoot the motor again while it is NOT on the lift.

• MOTOR CAN BE MANUALLY TURNED BY HAND, BUT WHEN POWERED ON, DOESN'T TURN.

• Check that the motor is wired correctly for your switch.

• Motor may not be receiving proper power. Never assume a motor has proper powerunless it has been checked at the motor. Sometimes bad connections or corrosioncause insufficient power.

• If the motor is wired properly and the voltage has been verified at the motorconnection, the motor may be burned out.

• MOTOR STARTS AND RUNS, BUT WON'T PICK UP THE LOAD.• Check for a low-voltage problem.

• NEVER use an extension cord. It will cause low voltage and poses a fire danger.

• NEVER use a generator.

• Check the voltage at the plug when the motor is not running.

• Check the voltage at the motor when it is trying to pick up the load.

• If there is more than a 4% difference between the voltage measurement at the plugand the measurement at the motor, there is a low-voltage condition.

• Check that the proper size wiring has been used for the length of run from the mainpanel (not a sub-panel) at the house all the way to the lift.

• Check the switch for corrosion, bad connection or power loss.

• Check the voltage at the input side of the switch and the output side of the switch.If there is a difference, the switch either has a bad connection or is defective.

BH-USA assumes no responsibility or liability from improper wiring or misuseof equipment, and will only supply information for BH-USA equipment. Only a licensed electrician should wire or re-wire any electrical component

• If the voltage is fine at the output side of the switch, but drops at the motor, checkthe motor wiring connections.

• Check for an overloading condition.

• If the voltage doesn't drop more than 4%, but the amperage rises above the full-loadamperage rating and stays there, then there is an overloading condition with the lift.

• Check the full-loaded weight of the boat on the lift.

• Check the lift for problems with something rubbing or causing additional resistancethat may cause additional strain on the motor.

• Electric, flat-plate hoist motors reverse using a drum switch and operate at 110/115volts or 220/230 volts at 1725 RPM. Electric boat hoists are not water tight. AllBH-USA’s boat lift motors have a start capacitor and are totally enclosed non-venting (TENV), meaning all thermal protection has been removed, giving thesemotors a maximum 15 minute run time.

• All motors ordered without wiring harnesses/switches from BH-USA are wired fromthe factory for 220V. “Motor only” ORDERS include no electrical connectors suchas spades and wire nuts.

HELPFUL TIPS ON BOAT LIFT MOTORSBH-USA carries the Elite, Marathon and Leeson brands of boat lift motors; C-face and 56 frame;painted and stainless steel for both fresh and saltwater lifts from 3/4 HP through 1.5HP.

See wiring diagrams for the motors and switches BH-USA sells in this manual and online at BH-USA.COM

BH-USA can not assume responsibility nor can we help in the operation wiringor information pertaining to other equipment not supplied by BH-USA.

Boat lift motors are uniquely different than other motors. They are designed to run at maximum for avery short amount of time.A boat lift motor’s vent caps are solid and not vented, to protect from insects and the elements. Becauseof this, boat lift motors tend to get hot very quickly. Pay attention to the maximum run times andalways let your boat lift motor cool down between cycles.

Boat lift motors and hoists should never be run on a portable generator orpowered with an extension cord.

Generators do not produce enough consistant voltage to power a boat hoist motor correctly and thiscan cause damage to the motor. For this reason you should also never use extension cords to poweryour hoist or motor. The thermal protection has also been removed from the inside or the boat hoistmotor, therefore if it runs hot, the wiring can melt.

• CAPACITORSImproper installation of a boat hoist motor with the capacitor facing down can cause it to fill withwater and can cause damage to the motor.


CAUTION… DON’T VOID THEMOTOR WARRANTY

Improperly installingthe boat hoist motorwith the capacitorfacing down cancause it to fill withwater. Evidence ofwater damage willvoid the warranty.

Water penetration in a motor or switch will void the warranty and a newmotor or switch will need to be purchased.

Like most electrical components boat lift motors, switches and GFCIs are not designed to bewaterproof. Water penetration will cause this equipment to fail and will not be covered by warranty.Improper installation is the primary cause of water penetration. A correctly installed motor or switchwill not have an issue with water penetration.

• STAINLESS STEEL C-FACE MOTORS WITH AN IP RATINGC-face motors used on gear boxes that are not belt-driven, such as the BH-USA A-Drives, are designedto be in the direct outdoor environment and require no type of extra cover. There are two plugs opposite from the capacitor housing. These may or may not have been removedbefore shipping. These plugs must be removed. If the unit is mounted where the exposed holes trap water, waterpenetration may damage the motor and void the warranty. The removed plugs can be used to protect and plug the holes exposed to water. These motors have an IP rating, which states that when properly installed, water (from rain) will notpenetrate the motor. BH-USA’s Elite Stainless Motors are rated at IP-55. Tests conducted on thesemotors with water jetted from a .25'' hose have been proven to not penetrate a correctly installed motor.

C-Face Stainless Steel Motor plugs may or may not have been removedbefore shipping. BH-USA removes the plugs opposite from the capacitor.Depending upon the installation, these may not be the holes at the LOWESTpoint on the motor and therefore could be exposed tomoisture/condensation. Be sure, after the the motor is installed, that the lowest plugs have beenremoved. They can then be used to protect and plug the other holes that mayhave been removed at the factory. The motor will also have a weep/drain holethat must be removed.

• PAINTED MOTORS FOR BELT-DRIVEN HOISTS WITH A NEMA TENV RATING

Painted, 56-Frame motors for belt-driven hoists like those sold by BH-USA are NEMA TENV whichmeans they are non-vented and totally enclosed to lesson exposure to dust, dirt, insects and other solids,however they are not airtight and not protected from water or moisture. These type motors are notintended for exposed installation in the direct outdoor environment and should only be used insideboat houses or under optional, flat plate hoist covers. Proper mounting will help prevent waterpenetration.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT CONDENSATION:

An enclosed boathoist motor willcollect condensationinside the motor. As amotor runs it heats upthen rapidly cools off,pulling moisture intothe motor, especiallyin a humidatmosphere. Outdoor use motorssuch as the BH-USAStainless Steel Elitehas an IP55 ratedhousing, and can fillwith water and shortout the motor ifcondensation is notdrained. THIS IS NOT WARRANTABLE.

Motors with high IPratings have drainholes around the endcaps of the motors.These are small setscrews, that can beremoved, dependingupon the installationof the motor. It isimportant to removethe two lowest setscrews to allowmoisture to escapeand condensation todrain. Two must beremoved to drainwater properly.The weep/drain holeplug must also beremoved.

Painted TEMV motorsare not sealed like theIP rated motors andwill not allowcondensation build-up if installedand used properly.

HELPFUL TIPS ON SWITCHES

Switches supplied by BH-USA have holes drilled forproper mounting. The figure illustrates how to mount the switch. It should be mounted in a vertical position using allbolt holes for the screws or bolts. When mounted correctly, the handle of the switch willpoint downward and the wires will protrude from thebottom of the switch. It is rare for a switch to have a factory defect. Mostswitch problems are found in the wire connections tothe switch terminals.Moisture can also be a problem, as it causes corrosionbetween the terminal and the connection, thusdisrupting it and causing the switch to not work.Cleaning and tightening all connections can preventthis from happening. Small insects such as ants can alsoget into the contacts.

IMPROPER INSTALLATION OFSWITCHES

•Never attempt to “hang” a switch from theboat hoist.

•Always permanently mount the switch toa structure.

•Switches should be mounted in a locationrequiring occupant to exit the boat inorder to reach it.

•BH-USA’s line of flat plate hoists are not designed to lift people. DO NOT mount or hang the switch in any way that makes it accessible from within the boat.

•Hanging or mounting switches upside down will allow moisture and water to enterthe switch and cause the switch to malfunction.

REVERSING THE MOTORIf your motor is running in the wrong direction you need to switch the orange andwhite wires.



IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF SWITCHES• NEVER ATTEMPT TO “HANG” A SWITCH FROM THE BOAT HOIST.

• ALWAYS PERMANENTLY MOUNT THE SWITCH TO A STRUCTURE.

• SWITCHES SHOULD BE MOUNTED IN A LOCATION REQUIRING OCCUPANT TO EXIT THE BOAT IN ORDER TO REACH IT.

• BH-USA’S LINE OF HOISTS IS NOT DESIGNED TO LIFT PEOPLE. DO NOT MOUNT OR HANG THE SWITCH IN ANY WAY THAT MAKES IT ACCESSIBLE FROM WITHIN THE BOAT.

• HANGING OR MOUNTING SWITCHES UPSIDE DOWN WILL ALLOW MOISTUREAND WATER TO ENTER THE SWITCH AND CAUSE THE SWITCH TOMALFUNCTION.
