Installation: ADA Guidelines

ADA REQUIREMENTS (For Commercial Applications):

The Mighty 600 lift is completely ADA compliant when installed correctly.
The installation must meet the following requirements:

• Clear deck space dimensions (see FIGURE 1)

• Install lift a minimum of 22 inches from the pool edge
  (For curved pool walls contact Aqua Creek for placement)

• Deck slope no greater than 1:48

• The seat must be submerged at least 18 inches into the water. The lift should be installed at a location with 42-48 inches of depth (deck to pool fl oor)

NOTE: Other requirements may be necessary based on local code requirements. The anchor system should be bonded according to NEC Section 680 and/or local code requirements.

Anchor Installation: Core-drill Retro-fit

(Typical Concrete Pool Deck Installation)

Your deck MUST have:

• Minimum footing size: 4’ – 6” x 4’ – 6” x 10” thick.
• Minimum concrete strength: 4500 psi
• Reinforcement: #5 rebar @ 10” on center (O.C.)

TOOLS REQUIRED:

CORE DRILL
3” CORE DRILL BIT AIR NOZZLE & PUMP/COMP.
1 1/2” CORE DRILL BIT HEAT GUN (OPTIONAL)
EPOXY (ANCHOR ADHESIVE)* MASKING TAPE

*Use HILTI RE-500-SD adhesive anchor or SIMPSON SET-XP anchor adhesive or equivalant.

NOTE: Your local codes may require one or more permits. Check with your local building codes for the proper permit requirements.

1. Mark the center of the anchor location on your deck using the guidelines on page 4. Also mark the center for the fixing anchor 3 1/2” from the center anchor.

2. Using a 3” diameter core-drill bit, drill a 3” diameter hole at the anchor location. Make sure to keep the bit square to the deck. Drill straight down to a depth of at least 6”. Then use a 1 1/2” drill bit for the fixing anchor, drilling down at least 4”
   NOTE : Create a depth marker on the drill bit with black electrical tape to make sure you drill to the right depth.
   If you drill through the deck you may need to use the saw-cut installation instructions.

3. Remove plug and clean out the holes with a wire brush. Insert an air nozzle to the bottom of the hole. Use a pump or compressed air to blow out the hole. A heat-gun may be helpful in drying out the hole.

4. Place the anchor in the hole and ‘dry-fi t’ it first to make sure the anchor will be flush and plumb with the finished deck surface when installed. Adjust the hole as needed.
   NOTE : Pool decks with pavers or thick tiles may require other anchor options. Contact Aqua Creek Products.

5. Inject epoxy adhesive into each hole starting at the bottom until the hole is 1/3 to 1/2 full.
   NOTE : We recommend using masking tape around the top of the anchors so that no epoxy gets inside the anchors.

6. Install the anchor into the epoxy filled hole by pushing down and twisting back and forth to evenly distribute the epoxy around the anchor. Push down until it is flush with the finished deck surface. Clean off any excess epoxy. Adjust the anchor as needed to make
sure it is flush and plumb with the deck surface. This should be done during the adhesives’ specified ‘gel time’ (see epoxy manufacturers’ instructions).

7. Let the epoxy cure for at least 24 hours before installing the lift (or where applicable according to the epoxy manufacturers’ instructions).

Anchor Installation: Saw-cut Retro-fi t/New construction

1. Mask the bottom hole of the anchor sleeve to prevent concrete from seeping in.
2. Install rebar in the 4’-6” x 4’-6” section of the deck that will be thickened to 10”. SEE FIGURES B & C.
3. Set the bronze anchor sleeve in place. Make sure the center of the anchor sleeve is no more than 44” from the pool’s edge. Set the fixing anchor insert 3 1/2” from the center of the anchor sleeve. Fixing anchor may be located anywhere on the deck, as long as it is 3 1/2” from the center of the anchor sleeve. SEE FIGURE B.
4. Bond the anchor sleeve according to your local code requirements by using the bonding lug and bonding screw on the side of the anchor sleeve.
5. Pour your concrete and finish the pool deck surface.
6. Once the concrete has cured, your lift is ready to be mounted into the anchor sleeve.

Mighty 600 Assembly Instructions

TOOLS REQUIRED: 1/2” WRENCH (2)

WARNING: NEVER LIFT THE MAIN ASSEMBLY USING THE LINEAR ACTUATOR AS A HANDLE! USE AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE TO LIFT.

1. Lift the Mighty 600 MAIN ASSEMBLY from the shipping container. Insert the 1.9” [48mm] post of the MAIN ASSEMBLY into the deck anchor (FIGURE A, PAGE 6). Ease the MAIN ASSEMBLY down until it rests on the deck surface. Rotate the base until the fixing anchor hole lines up with the fixing anchor. Install the 1/2” x 1 1/2” hex bolt and washer to hold down the lift. Tighten the bolt.
2. Remove all of the shipping materials from the lift. Slide the CHAIR AND CHAIR ARM ASSEMBLY up through the top casing of the MAIN ASSEMBLY and connect using the supplied 5/16” hex bolts, washers and nylock nuts. For standard pool configuration the CHAIR ARM will be connected at the top two holes. However, the chair arm can be adjusted up to 6 inches higher, in 2 inch increments, if there is a need for it. NEVER USE THE LIFT WITHOUT BOTH HEX BOLTS INSTALLED!

Footrest Installation Instructions

The Aqua Creek footrest assembly is designed to fi t 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 legrest assembly to the 2 x 2 tubing.

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem: The lift 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-BriteTM 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

Problem : 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 is not working. The emergency button only overrides the remote handset.

FOR TROUBLESHOOTING ASSISTANCE

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.

• 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.
• The lift may need to be bonded according to local code requirements.
• If the lift is not used for extended periods, remove the battery from the lift and store it on the wall charger to maintain the batteries charge. The charger should be plugged in and in a climate controlled area.

STAIN REMOVAL TIPS:

To remove stubborn stains from finish, spray affected area with mild dish soap, rub briskly with a 3M Scotch Brite™ pad. Use white epoxy paint to touch up the finish. Apply wax to protect when dry.
