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.
A “soft hook” (1” 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 the 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
WARNING

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
