Assembly Instructions

(Weight Plates)

TOOLS REQUIRED:

7/16” wrench

1. Using a 7/16” wrench, remove the fi ve (5) nylock nuts and fl at washers that are currently holding the hood onto the platform. These were installed strictly for shipping purposes and can be thrown away. Remove the hood and set aside.
2. Begin stacking the eleven (11) supplied weight plates on the portable platform. To ensure proper alignment, slide the hood over the stack every three (3) or four (4) plates. Continue this until all eleven (11) weight plates are in place.
3.  Using a 7/16” wrench, slide the hood over the stack of weight plates and attach to the platform using the fi ve (5) supplied 1/4” nylock nuts and fl at washers. NOTE: Be sure to use silicone to seal the fl ange before bolting together.

Sand Ballast

1. Fill the ballast tank with sand (not included) as shown below. Gently shake or tap the tank sides periodically to help level the sand. Alternate between fi ll ports to make sure sand is evenly distributed (use a large funnel to help in this step).
2. Once all the sand has been poured into the tank, return the caps to the top of the tank and attach them with the screws.
3. With the counter weight now in place, roll the lift to the desired location on the pool deck.
4. Attach seat belt to the seat as shown in diagram to the right.
5. Place the battery on the charger and bring to a full charge.
6. Apply dielectric grease on the metal tabs of the battery and the control box on the lift.
7. Mount the battery onto the control box on the lift and snap the battery into place. Listen for a ‘click’ when the battery is installed properly. There should be no gap between the battery and control box. See FIGURE 1. NOTE: To extend battery life, always store battery on the charger when the lift is not in service.

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem: 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:
   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.
   NOT Properly Inserted: The cord plug is fl ush with or sticking out of the outlet
   Properly Inserted: The cord plug is recessed into the outlet

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-BriteTM pad. Put some dielectric grease on the contact points before reattaching the battery.

4. Make sure the battery is fully charged:

5. The Charger is ON when the green light is glowing

6. The Battery is CHARG-ING when the orange light is glowing

7. 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
   Use a pen or pencil tip and stick it into the emergency 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 but-ton only overrides the remote handset.

Proper Care of Pool & Spa Lifts

PROPER CARE NOTES

Maintenance Notes:

Please read and fill out all information carefully
Improper use and/or maintenance of a pool lift can lead to actuator and/or other mechanical failures and possible personal injury. Please read and follow the product operators’ manual and the instructions below.

• NOTE: Completely cycle the lift without a load before each use to verify the lift is functioning properly.
• Product service life depends on the load characteristics, type and frequency of use, and the environment in which the product is being used. For example, persons not calmly sitting but falling down with their full body weight in the chair, or using the po0ol lift’s chair as a diving platform can cause premature actuator failure and/or possible personal injury.
• Based on historical product service life analysis, Aqua Creek recommends replacing the actuator(s) and other electronic components after 5 years of service. Check component serial numbers and purchase records to verify the agee of your conmponents.
• A functional weight lifting force of a maximum of 100 Ibs must be periodically verified by applying non-live load (without a person) through the entire operating cycle of the lift. This process is performed in order to verify the smooth operation. Make note of any unusual noises or sudden movements coming from the actuator(s) or other components. Note: In some lifts, a sudden quick movement at the beginning of the cycle is normal but should smooth out over the course of operation.
• Creating a side load on the actuator by pushing and/or pulling on the actuator, especially under load conditions, can cause damage to the actuator and/or personal injury.
• Electronic components are designed to be plug-and-play type replacements. There is no need to access the internal mechanisms in these components. The actuator, battery, and all electronic components may only be disassembled by authorized factory-trained personnel. Disassembly of electronic components by improperly trained and unauthorized persons will void the warranty on those components.
• The operator of the pool lift should never allow the pool lift to hit any stationary object either vertically or horizontally while operating a pool lift, i.e. walls, ceiling, pool/spa bench, etc.
• For quick and accurate troubleshooting and inspections, we recommend having a voltage meter, Vito
• Battery Check Cable (item F-VTCO02) and an Aqua Creek Test Light (Item F-01TL) on hand as well as adequate test and replacement components for the unit.
• Remove the pool lift from service immediately if any unusual noise is heard coming from the actuator such as grinding, popping or sudden inconsistent movements.
• Immediately remove from service any lift that does not have 100% compliance with the inspection until the appropriate corrections have been made by a qualified person.

.  Overall  isual Inspection

Corrosion is common with anything in a swimming pool environment; even stainless steel. Proper and regular maintenance and cleaning will prevent most instances of corrosion. Replace any components that have corrosion caused pitting, cracking, thinning of the base metal, or other instances of corrosion that can’t be eliminated and/or minimized through a thorough cleaning. Refer to product manual for additional maintenance instructions. Make comments and/or recommendations in the notes area below each section.

materials for damage, fatigue, and/or deterioration. Replace at first sign of any fatigue or damage.

|  |  |
NOTES/RECOMMENDATIONS:
.  Electronics Inspecti n

Most electronic issues are due to poor electrical connections and/or a defective battery. Always remove the battery and place on the charger when the lift is not in use. NOTE: Even if your lift is equipped with a solar charger, it is a good idea to place the battery on the wall charger periodically or during extended periods of non‐use or storage. Before testing the battery, charge overnight. A voltage meter is required for this section and a known GOOD handset controller is helpful. An Aqua Creek electronics test light is also highly

recommended (Order item F‐01TL). Make comments and/or recommendations in the notes area below each section.

Inspection Item Pass      Fail      N/
a. Battery contact points are free of damage and/or corrosion. Dielectric grease is present on all conta t points to prevent corrosion. ALWAYS STORE BATTERY ON

THE CHARGER WHEN LIFT IS NOT IN USE!

|  |  |
b. Battery level indicator (if equipped) on control box is functioning properly when

battery is installed on lift.

|  |  |
c. Using the voltage meter check the voltage on the battery. A good battery should read between 24v and 28v DC. Note: Vito batteries will require a test cord (F‐ VTC002)|  |  |
d. Using the test light, confirm continuity through the control box by plugging the light into the control box in place of the actuator and press the buttons on the

controller and the control box itself (if applicable). If light does not light up with handset, replace handset with a known good one and try to see if it lights up.

|  |  |
e. Once the battery is fully charged up to 24 to 28 volts, cycle the lift (up, down, rotate) counting the cycles. If the battery is in good condition, the lift should

easily complete at least 15 cycles without a load.

|  |  |
NOTES/RECOMMENDATIONS:
.  Physical Pool Lift Test

A physical test of the lift function is required when doing an annual inspection. NOTE: The lift should always be run through a complete cycle without a load prior to each use. The annual test should be ran both empty

and with a typical load weight to test the lifts functions. Make comments and/or recommendations in the notes area below each section.

Inspection Item Pass Fail      N/
a. With all connections connected, operate the lift though a complete cycle without weight to confirm the lift is functioning correctly. Note any strange noises and

any unusual operation.

|  |  |
b. Verify the lift was installed correctly; is the lift free to travel in and out of the

pool without hitting anything like a wall, rail, bench, etc..

|  |  |
c. Rotate lift at least 90 degrees over the water and back again if applicable|  |  |
