Ranger 2 Assembly Instructions
- Attach seat belt to the seat. SEE FIGURED
- Install the Ranger 2 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- With the lift completely assembled, run the lift fully out and back in 3-5 times, without weight, for the lift’s “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 fi t under the chair and is installed inside the 2” square tubing that supports the chair from underneath. To install the footrest;
- Insert the footrest assembly into the 2 x 2 square tubing that supports the chair until the plastic insert of the footrest assembly sits fl ush against the end of the 2 x 2 tube.
- Using the supplied 1/4” hardware, fasten the legrest 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” jam nylock nut from the chair cradle. Then remove the 3/8” shoulder bolt, flange bushing, sleeve bushing, flat the washer, and nylock nut that 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 “fl ipped” to the opposite side. Also, remove the 3/8” shoulder bolt, 5/16” fl at 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.
You Will Need:
- 5/32” ALLEN WRENCH
- 3/16” ALLEN WRENCH
- 1/2” WRENCH
- 1-1/2” WRENCH
Basic Troubleshooting
Problem: The lift won’t move.
Solution:
-
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 -
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 flush with or sticking out of the outlet
Properly Inserted: The cord plug is recessed into the outlet -
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. -
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:
- 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.

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
-
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 pool 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 aee of your components.
-
A functional weight lifting force of a maximum of 100 lbs must be periodically verified by applying a 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-VTC002) 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 Visual 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 by
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 the product manual for additional maintenance instructions. Make comments
and/or recommendations in the notes area below each section.

weaved materials for damage, fatigue, and/or deterioration. Replace at first
sign of any fatigue or damage.| | |
NOTTES/RECOMMMENDATION NS:
Electronics Inspection
Most electronic issues are due to poor electrical connections and/or a
defective battery. Always remove the battery and place it 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
---|---|---|---
a.| Battery contact points are free of damage and/or corrosion. Dielectric
grease is present on all contact points to prevent corrosion. ALWAYS STORE
BATTERY ON THE CHARGER WHEN LIFT IS NOT IN USE!| | |
b.| The battery level indicator (if equipped) on the control box is
functioning properly when the battery is installed on the 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 (FVTCOO2)| | |
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 pressing
the buttons on the controller and the control box itself (if applicable). If
the light does not light up with the handset, replace the 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.| | |
