Installation Overview
Read all instructions before attempting to assemble or install the Lift.
Anchor Location
It is recommended that the Summit be installed in or near the shallow end of the pool with
sufficient deck space and operational area in the pool as shown in Figure 1. For reasons of
safety and ADA guidelines, the lift must be installed in a location that is clear from obstacles and
other hazards.
NOTE:
Do not locate the lift in a corner or directly adjacent to pool ladders/handrails or grab rails
that could interfere with the rotation of the lift. Do not place the lift where it may be cumbersome
or hazardous to any pool users.
Figure 1
Because the lift can be stopped at any position during lowering, there is no minimum pool depth
requirement for the Summit. However, to comply with ADA guidelines, the Summit must be
installed at a pool depth no greater than 48-inches and the seat should submerge to a minimum
depth of 18” below the surface of the water. There must be at least 6” from the center of each
anchor to the nearest joint, crack, curb or similar concrete structure to ensure the strength of the
concrete.
In addition, all installations should be in accordance with the ADA guidelines (ADA guidelines
are available at the website
Anchor Installation
1. Mark the location of each anchor on the deck and use a 1” diameter concrete drill bit to drill
a 2 1/4” deep hole at each location. Make sure to drill straight down.
2. Clean all debris from hole and place the expansion anchor into the hole. Tap the anchor into
the hole until the top of the anchor is flush with the deck.
