c. Locate a bonding source to bond (ground) the anchor. The steel rebar-bonding grid of the pool deck is the
best choice for bonding the anchor. Attach a No. 8 solid copper wire (NEC Section 680-22) from the bonding
bolt on the base of the anchor to the bonding grid.
Note:
If the concrete deck
is 8” thick or more, an alternative anchor installation method may be used. In lieu of
saw cutting the concrete deck, a concrete core drill may be employed to cut a 4” diameter hole at the desired
anchor installation location. Epoxy or hydraulic cement may be used to secure the anchor in place. Make sure
the anchor is properly bonded.
d. Place tape over the anchor hole before pouring concrete
– not allowing concrete to enter anchor opening.
e. Fill the hole in the deck around the anchor with non-expanding concrete. Set the anchor so that the finished
top is 1/8” to ¼” below finished deck level – allowing for anchor cap to be put in place when the lift is not in
use.
f.
Use a carpenter’s level, to level the anchor making sure that the i-Lift mast will be vertically straight - up and
down (perpendicular to the deck) in all directions. It is important that the mast be vertically straight to ensure
ease of rotation when the lift is fully loaded.
Allow the concrete to cure for at least 7-days before installing and using the lift.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
The following tools will be required to complete assembly and installation of the lift:
-
9/16” ratchet and open-end wrench
-
1/2
” ratchet or open-end wrench
-
3/16” socket wrench (allen wrench)
LIFT ASSEMBLY
NOTE: All steps reference the exploded view on page 3.
!CAUTION!
Do not rotate the actuator end fitting
– handle with care.
a.
Stand the mast assembly up in the anchor that is installed in the pool/spa deck.
b.
