Then connect the battery to the connector, ensuring it is firmly seated onto the charger pins. Rotate the battery handle down into its closed position.
IMPORTANT: The charger requires a significant amount of power. Make sure to use an outlet that is not on the same circuit as major appliances or anything drawing large amounts of power, as it may trip your breaker.
With the battery connected to the charger, power on the battery by pressing the battery button for about 3 seconds.
Next, press the pairing button on the charger for about 1 second. A blinking blue light will appear on both the battery and the charger to indicate that they are both in pairing mode. Once the blinking lights turn solid blue, pairing is complete. Please allow up to 20 seconds for the pairing process to complete.
Once pairing is complete, the LEDs on both the battery and charger will change to green to indicate charging has begun. There are 5 battery LEDs total, which will turn solid as the charge level increases.
IMPORTANT: Do not charge the battery unattended.
STEP 4
Next, charge your Elite Hand Controller (EHC). Use the included USB-C cable to charge. A green LED will flash near the display indicating the cable is seated correctly and the hand controller is actively charging.
We recommend fully charging your hand controller before riding, which can take up to two hours, depending on its starting charge level. A fully charged EHC will last multiple sessions.
STEP 5
Next, set the board upside-down on a clean, soft surface. You can use the included board bag to do this.
Open the lever on the bottom of the board, ensuring it is fully open (90 degrees). Insert the mast into the board with the nose cone pointing toward the front of the board. Press firmly to fully seat the mast. Please note that your mast will not go in backwards, ensure it is oriented as described.
The LCS Jet will come pre-installed on the propulsion unit, with no additional assembly required.
NOTE: If you have other LCS propellers (LCS Fixed Propeller, LCS Folding Propeller), they can be easily interchanged without the need for tools.
IMPORTANT: It is critical all eFoil equipment is turned off and the battery is disconnected before working with or around the motor or propellers.
STEP 6
Locate the front and back wing, and use the 2 included M6 x 22 mm screws to attach them. Take care to not overtighten the screws.
NOTE: If you have existing Lift bolt-on front and back wings that you would like to use with your LIFT5, they are compatible! Use your existing hardware (or the hardware included in your LIFT5 hardware kit) to connect your front wing to the mast. If you are using an existing bolt-on wing setup, skip to step 7.
STEP 7
Next, open the lever on your LCS front wing by depressing the raised lock button and sliding it back to unlock, then depress the cover behind the button, which allows you to raise the lever.
With your board still upside down, the mast installed, and the LCS front wing lever in the open position, take your wing assembly and angle it to fit into the slot into the front of the mast. Make sure the wing lever is in the fully raised position (90 degrees).
Once in the slot, tilt the mast until the wing assembly securely fits perpendicular to the mast, and press down the lever down until it is snug. The latch should have some resistance when securing, but if it feels stuck, reset the wing assembly and ensure it is properly aligned and fully seated before trying again.

STEP 8
Now it’s time to install the battery and connect the board to the Lift Foils App and check for firmware updates. The latest firmware is required before riding.
Ensure your battery has been sufficiently charged, then power down the battery by pressing the battery button for about 3 seconds. The lights on the battery will turn off once powered down.
Next, power off the charger by pressing the pairing button for about 1 second. The lights on the charger will turn off once powered down. Unplug the battery from the charger, and unplug the charger from the outlet.
Confirm the battery is off by visually checking the LEDs, ensuring they are off. Fold out the battery handle by depressing the battery handle release button, and insert the battery into the board at a 45-degree angle, with the handle toward the back of the board.
Lower the battery into the battery pocket of the board. Ensure the battery is properly seated and nearly flush with the deck. Next, fold the battery handle down, which will lower and lock the battery into its nested position. The battery is now securely locked into place.
STEP 9
You are now ready to power on your eFoil and pair the EHC with your LIFT5.
CAUTION: Once your board is powered on, the hand controller will operate the propeller. Do not handle the propeller while the battery is connected. Only use the throttle when prepared, clear, and ready. Keep fingers, toes, and body parts clear of the propeller, as contact with the spinning propeller can cause serious injury or death.
Turn on your LIFT5 by pressing the battery button for over 3 seconds. You should see all of the battery LEDs light up solid blue, with the final LED flashing blue to indicate that the hand controller pairing mode is active.
Next, power on the EHC by pressing the power button for several seconds. If the hand controller has not previously been paired with an eFoil, the EHC will initiate pairing mode. Pairing mode is indicated on the EHC screen with a Bluetooth icon.
IMPORTANT: PAIRING IS PROXIMITY-SENSITIVE. Once both the battery and EHC are in pairing mode, position the controller close to the back of your board, just behind the battery as shown below, for about 10 seconds to initiate pairing.
NOTE: You’ll notice the final LED on your battery blinking faster as the EHC is closer to the correct pairing area. Once the pairing process is complete, the final LED will stop blinking and remain blue.
If your EHC is not in pairing mode, navigate to the settings menu and select pairing mode.
Once pairing is complete, you will see a green checkmark on your EHC screen, and the LEDS on the battery will all be solid blue.
And that’s it! Your LIFT5 is ready to ride.
CAUTION: While transporting your LIFT5 in and out of the water, ALWAYS ensure your board and EHC are fully turned off.
