Anchor Installation:

Retro-Fit Concrete

TOOLS REQUIRED:

TAPE MEASURE
CORE DRILL
ELECTRICAL TAPE
CARPENTERS LEVEL
4″ CORE DRILL BIT
FELT TIP MARKING PEN
VACCUM OR COMPRESSED AIR
2-PART EPOXY (or equivalent)

NOTE: The concrete deck around the anchor should be a minimum of 8 inches thick and reinforced with #4 bars at 10 inches on center, each way. The total concrete pad area should be at least 60 inches wide and 60 inches long.

Determine the best location for the lift. Mount the lift at a location that provides 42 inches [107cm] to 48 inches [122cm] deck level to the bottom of the pool (usually the shallow end). Make sure the location has enough clear deck space to easily transfer. The lift requires at least 6 feet [1.8 meters] of unobstructed deck to each side of the lift to accommodate easy maneuvering of the lift over the water and back. Keep in mind this lift will require assistance so locate an area that can accommodate another person.
Locate the concrete anchor socket. Be careful to not lose the protective cap on the anchor as this will
be used to keep dirt and debris out of the socket when the lift is not installed in the anchor.
The setback to the center of the anchor must be no less than 12 inches [30.5cm] and no more than
20 inches [51 cm] from the pool wall. The anchor location must also be at least 6 inches [15cm] from any
control joint or edge of concrete slab. Measure the location out using the tape measure and marking
pen. See FIGURE 1 on page 4 for details.
Core drill at least a 4 inch [10cm] diameter hole at the desired location for the lift anchor socket. The hole will need to be 7 inches [18cm] deep to allow for the grounding lug which protrudes from the bottom of the anchor.
NOTE: Use the electrical tape to make a mark on your drill bit at 7 inches [18cm] as a depth mark to tell you when to stop drilling.
Clean out the hole using a vacuum or compressed air. Check that the hole is deep enough to allow the anchor to be flush with the finished deck surface.
Ground the anchor according to your local code requirements. This may require additional drilling and/or other tools.
Carefully insert the anchor into the hole. Pour a small amount of 2 part epoxy, or equivalent, around the anchor. Check that the anchor will sit level or flush with the finished deck surface.
NOTE : Fill the hole about 1 /3 full of 2 part epoxy, or equivalent, prior to inserting the anchor. As you insert the anchor, rotate it back and forth so that you can evenly distribute the cement or epoxy around the anchor.
Once anchor is level and flush with deck, pour cement or epoxy into the remaining space around the anchor making sure there are no void spaces. Let cement or epoxy cure for 24 hours (or minimum manufacturer’s recommendations) before installing and using lift.

New Construction

TOOLS REQUIRED:

TAPE MEASURE
CARPENTERS LEVEL
MARKING PEN
STRING LINE
STRING LEVEL

NOTE: The concrete deck around the anchor should be a minimum of 8 inches thick and reinforced with #4 bars at 1 O inches on center, each way. The total concrete pad area should be at least 60 inches wide and 60 inches long.

Make sure the location has enough clear deck space to easily transfer. The lift requires at least 6 feet [1 .8 meters] of unobstructed deck to each side of the lift to accommodate easy maneuvering of the lift over the water and back. Keep in mind this lift will require assistance so locate an area that can accommodate another person.
Locate the concrete anchor socket. Be careful to not lose the protective cap on the anchor as this will
be used to keep dirt and debris out of the socket when the lift is not installed in the anchor.
The setback to the center of the anchor must be no less than 12 inches [30.5cm] and no more than 20 inches [S 1 cm] from the pool wall. The anchor location must also be at least 6 inches [15cm] from any control joint or edge of concrete slab. Measure the location out using the tape measure and marking pen. See FIGURE 1 on page 4 for details.
Ground the anchor according to the local code requirements.
Place the anchor in the proper location using the string level and string line to make sure the top of the anchor will be flush with the finished surface of the new deck. Place a small amount of concrete at the location of the anchor to hold it in place.
Verify all the measurements for accuracy and pour the deck as you normally would, making sure not to get any concrete inside the anchor system. Allow the concrete to cure before installing and using the lift.

Assembly Instructions

TOOLS REQUIRED

9/16″WRENCH (2)
5/32″ HEX KEY

The Power EZ 2 Pool Lift arrives with the boom arm attached to the mast. To complete the assembly, layout all parts on a large, clean area.

STEP 1. Attach the control box to the lifts mast using the supplied #10 socket head screws and a 5/32″ hex key.

STEP 2. Using two (2) 9/16″ wrenches, connect the lower end of the linear actuator to the mast (vertical post) with one (1) 3/8″ x 1 3/4″ hex bolt, two (2) 3/8″ flat washers and one (1) 3/8″ nylock nut

STEP 3. Connect the upper end of the actuator to the boom a rm with one (

3/8″ x 1 3/ 4″ hex bolt, two (2) 3/8″ flat washers and one (1) 3/8″ nylock nut using the two (2) 9/16″ wrenches.

STEP 4. Slide the lift into the previously installed anchor socket. Make sure that the mast is seated at the bottom of the anchor. Check to ensure easy rotation of the lift inside the nylon-lined anchor sleeve.\

STEP 5. Locate the chain assembly and insert the quick links into the holes in the sling support bars (A).

Attach the hanger to the boom eye on the lift (B).

Adjust the chain links so that the sling is at the appropriate height to allow the user easy access (C). This may require several adjustments. Also, be mindful of any obstacles such as coping or a gutter that will need to be cleared.

STEP 6. Attach the handset controller plug at the base of the control box. Press firmly until plug is fully seated in the control box.

STEP 7. Slide the EZ turn bar into the attachment bracket. If desired, the turn bar can be locked in place using the 1/4″ button head, lock and flat washer. Mount the FULLY CHARGED 24V battery on top of the control box. When properly mounted the battery will lock in place, causing a ‘click’ sound, and will sit flush and square with the control box.
ATTENTION! THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE FIRST USE. STORE THE BATTERY ON THE CHARGER AND NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERY ON THE LIFT WHEN NOT IN USE.

Assembly is complete. Prior to lifting any persons, it is recommended that the lift be operated 3-5 times without a load for the lifts “break in” cycle period as well as to check for proper functioning (and that the instructions for operating the lift be read and incorporated into a training program for the persons who will be operating the lift). For any person operating the lift, please continue to operating instructions. Read carefully for comprehension.

Operating Instructions

NOTE: For safety, check for worn parts and loose bolt connections prior to each use. All operators should be familiar with all lift components and their intended uses. Operators should also be comfortable with all lifting procedures before attempting to lift a person with the lift.

The Power EZ 2 Pool Lift requires the use of an operator to assist the lift occupant with the transfer into the pool. There are two methods of loading the lift occupant into the harness. The method of loading will depend on the physical ability of the lift occupant. If the user is physically able, he/she can simply place them self into the harness without need for assistance. If the user has very limited use of his/her upper body, it will be necessary to follow the procedure below.

With the lift in the raised position and the boom arm located over the deck, roll the user under the lift and engage the brakes on the wheelchair.
With the user facing the assistant, gently slide the mesh seat sling under the seated user while still in the wheelchair.
Attach the chain to the mesh sling and the overhead hanger bar. Avoid excess slack in the chain.
Ensure all chain connections are secure and the mesh seat sling is even on each side of user.
Raise the user by pressing the ‘up’ arrow button on the handset until the desired height is achieved.
Rotate the lift so that the user is above the pool. Never push on the actuator! Use the turn bar or place one hand on the boom arm and one hand on the mast.
Lower the user into the water by pressing the ‘down’ arrow button on the handset until the user is submerged sufficiently in the water to allow an easy transfer to the pool.
This procedure is repeated to remove a user from the water.
When the lift is not in use, remove the sling, hanger bar and mast from the anchor socket and replace the protective cap.

Thank you for purchasing the Aqua Creek Power EZ 2 Pool Lift. Enjoy the pool and this product for many years with proper use and maintenance. See page 8 of this manual for proper care instructions.
