Spa Lift Elite Components

1. Spa Lift Elite
2. 24 Volt Battery
3. Handset Remote
4. Safety Belt
5. Hardware bag with anchor inserts & anti-seize (if ordered w/ anchor)

NOTE: For wood deck applications refer to Wood Deck Anchor Manual (F-107UEWDA)

Anchor Installation

• You will need:
• Hammer
• 1 1/8″ Masonry Bit
• Drill
• Marker/Chalk

Before installing the lift, determine where to place the lift on the deck. Locate the lift as close to the pool/spa as possible to ensure that the seat arm clears the pool/spa wall. As shown in FIGURE 1 below, the lift must be a minimum of 10″ from the front anchor holes to the pool/spa wall. Also, allow enough room for the seat arm to swing around away from the pool/spa. Refer to the specifications for lift dimensions.

1. If ordered with lift, the Spa Lift Elite is shipped with three (3) 8 inch anchor inserts. Make a mark on the deck with a marker or chalk at each anchor location.

2. Using the 1 1/8 inch masonry bit, drill a hole in the concrete deck to a depth of 8 1/2 inches at each of the three anchor locations. The holes must be drilled perpendicular to the deck or the bolts will not thread into the anchors. Once the holes have been  drilled to the proper depth, clean all debris out of the anchor holes.

3. Fill each hole half full with Hilti™ brand HIT RE-500-SD or Simpson™ brand SET-XP, or equivalent. Thread a 1/2 inch hex bolt into each anchor and then insert the anchor into the hole, twisting as you go, untill the anchor insert is flush with the deck.
   Clean off any excess epoxy from around the hole and make sure not to get any epoxy on the 1/2 inch threads.

4. Bond the anchor according to local code requirements using the bonding screw on the bottom of one of the anchor inserts. Reference the National Electric Code (NEC) Article 680.26 for specifics on bonding.

Spa Lift Elite Installation and Assembly

1. Once the anchor inserts have been installed, the base weldment can now be secured to the deck using the 1/2 inch hex bolts and washers. See FIGURE 2.
2. Attach the mast assembly to the base, as shown in FIGURE 3, using the 3/8 inch nylock nuts and flat washers. This may require two people.
3. Attach the lifting arm (identified bK the two actuator mounting tabs opposed to the control arm which has no tabs) to the mast assembly using the 1/2 inch shoulder bolt and 3/8 inch nylock and flat washer. Be sure the actuator mounting tabs on the lifting arm are facing downward. See FIGURE 4.
4. After the lifting arm is secured to the mast, attach the actuator to the mast and the lifting arm with the 3/8 inch shoulder bolts and 5/16 inch nylocks and flat washers as shown in FIGURE 5. Make sure the actuator head faces the opposite direction of the control box. If rotated the other way, the actuator head might hit the mast.
5. Connect the control arm to the mast using the 1/2 inch shoulder bolt and 3/8 inch nylock and flat washer, as shown in FIGURE 6. Careful not to scratch the control arm on the lifting arm while attaching.
6. Connect the chair arm assembly to the lifting and control arms using the 1/2 inch shoulder bolts and 3/8 inch nylocks and flat washers. This may require two people. See FIGURE 7.
7. Attach the safety belt to the chair, as shown in FIGURE 8.
8. The Spa Lift Elite is now assembled and ready for use! Be sure the battery is fully charged. FIGURE 9 shows completed assembly mounted on a spa deck. NOTE: With the lift fully assembled, run the lift fully out and back in 3-5 times, without weight, for the lifts “break in” cycle period.

Installation Instructions

The Aqua Creek Legrest assembly is designed to fit under the chair and is installed inside the 2″ square tubing that supports the chair from underneath. To install the legrest;

1. Insert the Legrest assembly into the 2 x 2 square tubing that supports the chair until the plastic insert of the legrest assembly sits flush against the end of the 2 x 2 tube.
2. Using the supplied 1/4” hardware, fasten the Legrest assembly to the 2 x 2 tubing.

Basic Troubleshooting

Pr0b|em: The lift won’t move.
Solution:

1. Make sure the battery is properly seated:
   You should hear a click when the battery is properly seated on the control box or charger. NOT Properly Attached:
   Note: the white bracket is in front of the silver clip, which will not allow for an electrical connection
   Properly Attached:
   Note: the white bracket is behind the silver clip, holding it securely to allow for an electrical connection

2. Make sure the cords are properly plugged in: NOT Properly Inserted:
   The cord plug is flush with or sticking out of the outlet
   Properly Inserted:
   The cord plug is recessed into the outlet
   Check the ends of the cords for corrosion or damage. The cord plugs should be recessed into the outlet. You should feel them pop into place when they are correctly inserted.

3. Check the contact points: Make sure the contact points of the control box and the battery are not damaged or corroded.
   If there is corrosion clean with scotch-Brite™ pad. Put some dielectric grease on the contact points before reattaching the  battery.

4. Make sure the battery is fully charged: The Charger is ON when the green light is glowing
   The Battery is CHARGING when the orange light is glowing
   When the Battery is charged the orange light will stop glowing

Problem: The lift stopped moving over the water and is stuck.
Solution:

1. Press the emergency button

PROCEDURE| BEFORE
EACH US| | WEEKLY| MONTHLY
---|---|---|---|---

Wash lift with fresh water and dry with clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth| | | |
Recharge battery| | | |
Visually inspect lift for damage, corrosion, and loose or missing hardware| | | |

PROPER CARE NOTES

• Use only fresh water to wash your lift. Do not wash with pool water
• Use only clean, soft, non-abrasive cloths to wipe down your lift
• Do not store lift in pump room or near chemicals
• Do not allow children to play on or around this lift
• When cleaning the lift do not spray water directly on control box or battery

STAIN REMOVAL TIPS:
To remove stains wash affected area with mild dish soap. For stubborn spots and stains try using soft scrub with some brisk rubbing. Use white epoxy paint to touch up. Apply wax to finish.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE:

1. RECHARGE THE BATTERY AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. The battery power unit is a sealed lead acid battery pack. Frequent recharges will prolong the battery life and maintain a high cold amperage capacity. THE BATTERY SHOULD BE STORED ON THE CHARGER WHEN NOT IN USE.
2. Do NOT expose the battery to freezing temperatures.
3. Do NOT expose the battery to prolonged periods of extreme heat or severe cold temperatures.
4. Do NOT expose the battery to long periods of direct sunlight. Heat will shorten your battery life. Optimum operating range is between 5 degrees Celsius (40 degrees F) and 40 degrees Celsius (105 degrees F.)
5. Never drop or bump the battery pack. This may result in loose or damaged internal connections, and may damage the battery terminals.
