Installation: ADA Guidelines

ADA REQUIREMENTS:
The Admiral Pool Lift is ADA Compliant.
The installation must meet the following requirements:

• Clear deck space dimensions (see FIGURE 1)
• Lift installed between 14.5-19 inches from the pool edge
• Deck slope no greater than 1:48
• The seat must submerge at least 18 inches into the water. The lift should be installed at a location with 42-48 inches of depth (deck to pool floor)
• Anchor setbacks are based on straight pool/spa walls. Curved pool/ spa walls will effect the anchor setback.

Anchor Installation: Core-Drill Retro-Fit

NOTE : FOR DECKS 6″ THICK OR MORE, 2500PSI MINIMUM STRENGTH CONCRETE REQUIRED
You will need:

• Core drill and 172″ core drill bit
• Tape measure
• Marking pen
• Hammer
• Cold chisel
• Torpedo level
• High strength 2-part construction epoxy*
• Masking tape
• Black electrical tape (optional)
• Anti-seize packet
• Aqua Creek recommends either Hilti™ Brand HIT RE-500- SD or Simpson™ brand SET-XP or equivalent (not included)

1. Mark the 4 hole locations on your deck using the larger holes of the anchor jig plate as a template. For ADA compliance, confirm the center of the jig plate front holes are 14.5 to 19 inches from the pool’s edge. SEE FIGURE 2

2. Drill the 4 hole locations to 4 1/2 inches deep using the 1 1/2 inch drill bit. Clear all debris and ensure holes are completely dry.
   NOTE: Create a depth marker on the drill bit with black electrical tape to make sure you drill to the right depth. NOTE: Local bonding regulations may require you to drill one hole larger than the others in order to bond at least one of the anchor inserts. You may need to saw cut a portion of your deck. See “Saw Cutting Retro-Fit Instructions” on page 6.

3. Remove the nuts and the black protective coverings from the threaded anchor inserts.

4. Thread the mounting hardware through the smaller anchor jig plate holes and into the anchor inserts. Be sure to use anti-seize on the threads! Confirm the tops of the inserts are flush with the bottom of the plate.
   NOTE: We recommend using masking tape around the holes on the bottom of the anchor jig plate to help prevent the anchor plate from being accidentally epoxied to the pool deck.

5. Bond at least one of the anchor inserts according to your local code requirements. For more information see NEC Article 680.26.

6. Test fit the anchor inserts to make sure they line up properly. Place the anchor assembly into the pre-drilled holes and use atorpedo level to ensure your anchoring system is level.

7. Remove the anchor assembly and fill each hole halfway with 2-part construction epoxy.

8. Place the anchor assembly back into the holes. Wiggle the assembly as you reinsert it. Make sure the epoxy fully coats the threads.

9. Check that the anchor assembly is level.

10. Once the epoxy has set up, remove the hardware and the anchor jig plate. Your lift is now ready to be mounted to the anchoring system. The anchor jig plate may be recycled or used to install other anchors.

2. Mark out a section of the pool deck that you are removing. Plan on removing at least 4 feet 0 inches by 4 feet 0 inches.
3. Cut along your marks with a diamond blade concrete saw.
4. Using the sledge hammer break up the concrete within the cut area and remove the pieces.
5. Install rebar in the open area of the deck. Tie the rebar into the existing deck if possible. SEE FIGURE B
6. Set the anchor system in place. For ADA compliance and clearance, make sure the center of the large anchor jig plate hole is between 14.5 and 19 inches from the pool’s edge. SEE FIGURE C, PAGE 7
7. Using the string line or a straight edge, confirm the top of each anchor body is level with the FINISHED deck surface. Each anchor body can be individually adjusted by turning the nuts with a large wrench.
8. Bond the anchoring system according to your local code requirements by using the bonding lug on the anchor plate. SEE FIGURE C, PAGE 7 (See NEC Article 680.26)
9. Pour concrete and finish the pool deck surface. SEE FIGURE A
10. Once the concrete has cured, the lift is ready to be mounted to the anchoring system.

Anchor Installation: New Construction

NOTE: For installations where a new deck is being poured, or where a dedicated pad is being poured just for the pool lift, the concrete must satisfy the ADA requirements outlined on page 3 of this manual.
Your pool deck must be at least 4 feet – 0 inches long by 4 feet – 0 inches wide by 6 inches thick. It must be reinforced with 5 sticks of #5 rebar each way, 2 inches clear (min) from the top and bottom of the footing.

1. Remove 1 nut from each anchor insert. Place the anchor inserts through the larger hole of the anchor jig plate. Thread the removed nuts back onto the anchor inserts. The anchor plate should be sandwiched between the two nuts on each anchor insert.
   SEE FIGURE A, PAGE 6

Admiral Assembly Instructions

1. Attach seat belt to the seat. SEE FIGURE D
2. Install the Admiral pool lift onto the four (4) anchors using the supplied 1/2 inch x 1 1/2 inches stainless steel hex head bolts and 1/2 inch stainless steel washers. Make sure all bolts are tight before using the lift.
3. Apply dielectric grease to the plug terminals, including the o-ring seal. Plug the handset cable into the large handset socket on the bottom of the control box. Press the cord end firmly into the socket until you are sure it is completely in the socket. Failure to fully push the remote cord into the socket may result in faulty or interrupted operation.
4. Before installing the battery, place it on the charging unit and let it charge for 24 hours. Make sure the orange “charge” light illuminates when the battery is being charged. When the orange charge light shuts off, the battery is fully charged.
5. Remove the fully charged battery from the charger and install it on top of the control box. The battery will line up with the control box, and will ‘click’when it properly locks in place. Apply dielectric grease to the plug terminals, including the o-ring seal, and then connect the battery cable to the control box cable.
6. With the lift completely assembled, run the lift fully out and back in 3-5 times, without weight, for the lifts “break in” cycle period. WHEN NOT IN USE, STORE THE BATTERY ON THE CHARGER!

Footrest Installation Instructions

The Aqua Creek footrest 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 footrest;

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

Pinch Point Locations

Field Reverse
To reverse the direction of the seat on the lift begin by removing the 1”7 jam nylock nut from the chair cradle. Then remove the 3/8” shoulder bolt, flange bushing, sleeve bushing, flat washer and nylock nut the connects the chair cradle assembly to the control arm. Next, remove the 1/4” button-head bolt and flat washer connecting the control arm to the base of the lift. The chair cradle assembly and control arm can now both be slid freely away from the lift and “flipped” to the opposite side. Also, remove the 3/8” shoulder bolt, 5/16″ flat washer and nylock nut connecting the actuator head to the base of the lift. With the hardware removed, rotate the head of the actuator 180 degrees and then reinstall the hardware. Replace all components and hardware in the reverse order of how it was uninstalled.

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem: rhe iift won’t move.
Solution:

1. Make sure the cords are properly plugged in: 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.
2. Check the contact points: Make sure the contact point 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
3. 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 fully charged the orange light will stop glowing

Pr0blem: The lift stopped moving and is stuck.
Solution:

1. Press the Emergency button Press the emergency retract button on the front of the control box to retract the lift.
   Note: the lift will not retract if the battery is not fully charged or if the control box e is not working. The emergency button only overrides the remote handset.

Note: If you feel your lift is malfunctioning due to a faulty battery or connections, contact Aqua Creek Products for a testing kit.

Battery Test Cable Instructions

WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DIRECTLY PROBE THE BATTERY CONNECTOR TO TEST VOLTAGE.
THIS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY! USE THE SUPPLIED BATTERY TEST CABLE ONLY FOR CHECKING THE BATTERY VOLTAGE!
The Aqua Creek 24V battery has a cable and connector for connecting to the control box or to the battery charger. The battery connector is not suitable to check the battery voltage, as it is very hard to probe the connector without shorting-out the battery, which will cause damage. For this reason, a separate battery test cable is provided. To safely check the battery voltage, use a voltmeter or multimeter with standard test probes, and insert the probes into the test cable as shown below.
