TNT Lift Systems Caution Statement

CAUTION: PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR TNT LIFT

Welcome to a whole new world of boating pleasure. Although TNT has taken every safety precaution to design and build your lift to maximum standards, there are a few things that you should be aware of. As we all know Mother Nature can be very unpredictable. We feel that you should be aware of the following:

WHEN DO YOU TOW YOUR PWC (Personal Water Craft)

You should tow your PWC when the seas get to the point where you are uncomfortable. If you can see that your PWC is thrusting back and forth, bouncing, or the platform is taking a rear wave too hard, you should tow your PWC. What do you do? TOW IT .

If you are anticipating rough seas DO NOT SECURE YOUR PWC TO THE PLATFORM, instead secure it off to the cleats on the rear of your transom. Also rig a tow line just in case you have to release your PWC quickly. In the event that you do have to tow your PWC - launch your PWC, raise your platform, and then quickly get underway. Because your towline had been previously prepared, it will allow you to launch and tow your PWC quickly and safely. Please contact us if you desire a bridle for towing. We will be happy to supply you with one.

NOW TO RETRIEVE YOUR PWC SAFELY

Never try to drive your PWC on the platform. Always drive up to your platform and allow all occupants to disembark. This includes the driver. No one should be on the PWC. Rig two lines port and starboard to the PWC. Then get on the main boat, lower the platform and pull your PWC onto the cradles. When the PWC is in position – carefully raise the platform. If seas are too rough to accomplish this safely - what do you do? TOW IT.

NEVER LET CHILDREN PLAY ON THE LIFT WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION

There are several “pinch” points on this lift that could hurt children. CAREFULLY inspect the entire lift and familiarize yourself with all areas of concern. When retrieving personnel watch where they hold on to, before you activate the lift. If the water is rough make sure that everyone being retrieved has a secure hold before activating the lift. Observe that the individuals on the lift do not get washed in between the transom and the lift . If the seas are rough, it is best to bring the lift partially out of the water, so that individuals can stabilize themselves. This will allow you to the ability to coordinate the remaining retracting lift sequence, between oncoming waves. Make sure that all individuals are stable and clear of the transom at any point during lift activation.

ALWAYS KNOW THE WEIGHT CAPACITIES YOU ARE CARRYING

NEVER CARRY OVER OUR RATED LIFT CAPACITIES. Although this lift is capable of picking up far more than it’s rating, your transom will NOT. Beware that when your PWC is full of FUEL AND GEAR it may be over weight. In order to establish a weight, never carry anything in your PWC when underway. COVER YOUR PWC AND PULL THE DRAIN PLUGS WHEN UNDERWAY. If you should happen to take a rear wave into your PWC you could add up to 1000 pounds of weight. This could cause the lift and transom to fail . A TRANSOM FAILURE COULD ALSO SINK YOUR BOAT. BE AWARE - IF IN DOUGHT TOW YOUR PWC.
