Instructions for use.
To load watercraft onto Jet Rail, slide deck back to rear of Jet Rail. Tilt deck into water. Jet Rail extends to the
length of the watercraft. Use pin provided to lock winch tube in place before using lift. Also make sure the bow
stop is tightened approximately at bow level. This may need to be adjusted to fit your watercraft. Pull enough
strap out to reach watercraft. Hook to watercraft and turn winch handle to pull watercraft out of water. Winch
until watercraft meets bow stop.
To unload watercraft, slowly release strap by turning winch handle counter clockwise. Push watercraft backwards
allowing Jet Rail deck to roll and tilt into the water. Jet Rail may be shortened by pulling pin and sliding extension
tube into frame tube when not used to store watercraft.
NOTE: TO BALANCE WATERCRAFT ON JET RAIL, an extra U-bolt and plate is included to use as a stop
for the rolling carriage on the frame tube. Some watercraft will not slide on the bunk rails as it is being winched
up, causing an unbalanced mount. The U-bolt can be mounted on the frame tube to stop the carriage from
moving forward, if your watercraft experiences this imbalance. A starting point would be 22 inches from the
front mounting plate. Adjust accordingly after using your Jet Rail. SEE PICTURE ON PAGE 6.

WARNING
JET RAIL WILL FALL INTO WATER IF NOT BOLTED TO THE DOCK WHEN WINCHING
ON OR OFF A WATERCRAFT. THE LIFT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR LIFTING HUMANS.
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT OR STAND ON WATERCRAFT WHEN IT IS BEING
PUT ON OR OFF THE LIFT OR IS BEING STORED ON THE JET RAIL.
A "soft hook" (2" x 18" nylon strap stitched in a loop) is provided for watercraft that do not have a bow eye .
Place the "soft hook" through the front "deck hole" and place the hook from the winch strap through each end
of the loop to winch watercraft on and off of the Jet Rail. If you use this method, you may use the winch strap
straight from the winch to the PWC and not go through the bow stop
