LIFTING CAPACITY OF A FLAT-PLATE HOIST

Factory ratings found on BH-USA flat-plate hoists are only accurate when using a 5 to 1 ratio from motor to pulley, and a 2-3/8'' diameter pipe with 1/4" cable.

Altering any of these ratios will void the factory rating and the LIFETIME GPA warranty!

HELPFUL EQUATIONS TO FIGURE WEIGHTS FUEL WEIGHT = GALLONS OF FUEL X 6 LB

PER GALLON

TUNA TOWERS OR WAKE BOARD TOWERS = APPROXIMATELY 400 LBS

CRADLES = 600 LBS

DO NOT EXCEED THE GEAR PLATE WEIGHT RATING

Boat manufacturers disclose the dry weight of a boat. This number does not include the added weight of fuel and equipment, and in some cases, it does not include the weight of a boat's motor.

If the boat is sitting on a cradle, the weight of the cradle must also be considered, as well as the pulleys and/or blocks.

The Break-In Period New hoists must be run without the weight of the boat, for at least ten cycles.

EXAMPLE TO DETERMINE OVERALL WEIGHT

DRY WEIGHT OF BOAT = 2900 LBS

40 GALLONS OF FUEL = 240 LBS

WAKEBOARD TOWER = 400 LBS

GEAR (COOLERS, SKIS, ETC.) = 150 LBS

STEEL I-BEAM BOAT CRADLE = 500 LBS

= 4190 LBS

In this situation a hoist rated over 4,190 lbs is needed to lift the boat.

Weights are approximate and for use in this example only.

All BH-USA gear plate assemblies have a capacity rating sticker.

BBH-NO

CAUTION:

ELECTRIC MOTORS

THIS GUIDE COVERS GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ELECTRIC MOTORS EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED BY BH-USA.

Electric, flat-plate hoist motors reverse using a drum switch and operate at 110 volts or 220 volts at 1725 RPM. Electric boat hoist are NOT water tight. All BH-USA's boat lift motors have a start capacitor, mount with a standard 56 frame, and are totally enclosed non-venting (TENV), meaning all thermal protection has been removed, giving these motors a maximum 15 minute run time.

When installing the boat hoist motor NEVER install the motor so that the capacitor is facing down. The capacitor housing could fill with water and damage the motor. Properly installed motors will not fill with water and motors returned with water in them or evidence of water damage are not covered under the BH-USA warranty.

BH-USA assumes no responsibility or liability from improper wiring or misuse of equipment. BH-USA does not assume responsibility, nor will help in the operation, wiring, or information pertaining to other equipment not supplied by BH-USA. If you are not a licensed electrician DO NOT attempt to wire or rewire any electrical component.

BH-USA will cover general information about electrical components exclusively distributed by BH-USA. BH-USA assumes no responsibility or liability from improper wiring, use, or operation of equipment. BH-USA does not assume responsibility, nor will help in the operation, wiring, or information pertaining to other equipment not supplied by BH-USA. Drum switches that have any signs of water damage or water inside the switch will not be covered under the manufacturer's defect warranty.

IF YOU ARE NOT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WIRE OR REWIRE ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT.

PROPER INSTALLATION OF BOAT HOIST

SWITCHES

Switches supplied by BH-USA have holes drilled for proper mounting. The figure to the left demonstrates how to mount the switch. It should be mounted in a vertical position with two screws or bolts. When mounted correctly, the handle of the switch will point downward and the wires will protrude from the bottom of the switch. There are instructions on the back of the switch with an arrow showing how to mount the device.

IMPROPER INSTALLATION

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 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 enter the switch and cause the switch to malfunction. BH-USA assumes no responsibility or liability for improperly installed equipment.

PLEASE NOTE: BH-USA will only be able to help with wiring the switches referenced in this

guide. If you do not have one of these switches, BH-USA WILL NOT be able to help you wire it.

REVERSING THE MOTOR

If your motor is running in the wrong direction you need to switch the orange and black wires.

It is very rare for a switch to have a factory defect. Most problems with switches can be found in the connection of the wires to the switch terminals.

Moisture can be another problem. If there is moisture inside the switch it can cause corrosion between the terminal and the connection. This corrosion can disrupt the connection causing the switch to not work. Cleaning and tightening all connections inside of the switch will, in most cases, prevent this from happening.

Small insects such as ants can also get into the contacts.

Drum switches that show signs of water inside the switch will not be covered under manufacturer's warranty.

Switch warranties do not cover small insects or corroded terminals.

TROUBLE SHOOTING The ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is designed to protect people from severe or fatal electric shocks. The GFCI is located in the hoist's wiring system and monitors the electricity flowing in a circuit to sense any loss of current. If the current flowing through the circuit differs by a small amount from that returning, the GFCI quickly switches off power to that circuit.* BH-USA supplies all hoists and wired motors with a Class A UL compliance GFCI.
