NEW CONSTRUCTION ANCHOR INSTALLATION
STEP 1:
Determine the best location for the lift. Be sure to mount the lift at a location that provides
at least 42” [107 cm] and no more than 48” [122 cm] from deck level to the bottom of the
pool. Make sure the location includes enough clear deck space to easily transfer into the
lift seat. Keep in mind this lift will require assistance from another person to operate and
you should locate it in an area that can accommodate another person. The lift should also
be located so as to provide at least 6’ [1.8 m] of unobstructed deck to each side of the lift
to accommodate easy maneuvering of the lift over the
water and back.
STEP 2:
Locate the concrete anchor socket that came with your
lift. Be careful to not lose the protective cap on the
anchor. This will be used to keep dirt and debris out of
the socket when the lift is not installed in the anchor.
STEP 3:
The setback to the center of the anchor must be no
more than 20” [51 cm] from the pool wall and at least 6” [15 cm] from any control joint or
edge of concrete slab. Measure the location out using your tape measure. (Reference the
drawing on the previous page for details).
STEP 4:
Ground the anchor according to your local requirements.
STEP 5:
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.
STEP 6:
Verify all your 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.

CONCRETE ANCHOR
SOCKET
NOTE:
The concrete deck around the anchor system should be a minimum of 8”
thick and should be reinforced with #4 reinforcing bars spaced on 10” centers in
each direction. The total concrete pad area should be at least 60” wide
(measured away from the pool edge) and 60” long (parallel with the pool edge).
