IN CASE OF HAND CONTROL FAILURE
Lifting failure -
In the event of a lifting failure, there are control buttons built into the control box. Press
the appropriate up or down/left or right button located on the front panel of the control box.
If the aXs will be used by a disabled person living on their own, a communication device should
be installed in the area of use to call for assistance in the event of an emergency.
POOL DECK INSTALLATION FOR THE aXs ANCHOR
Ensure Locking Anchor has been installed in the correct location in the pool deck for proper lift
operation. It is recommended that the anchor be installed by a person familiar with installing pool
deck equipment.
The optimal mounting distance for the deck anchor is between 12”/30.5 cm to 18”/46cm from the edge of
the pool. The aXs is designed to be used with simple pool edge designs without protruding gutters.
Please call S.R.Smith with any questions concerning deck anchor placement or if the aXs will work in
your installation.
Installing a Locking Anchor in a Concrete Deck
The proper installation of the anchor depends on the construction and condition of the deck. If the deck
meets the thickness and re-enforcing requirements shown in Appendix A then the anchor can be installed
according to the instructions outlined in Appendix A.
If the existing deck does not meet the requirements outlined in Appendix A then the anchor can be
installed per the instructions in Appendix B or you can consult with an engineering professional.
The deck anchor reaction loads can be found in the Specification Section of this manual.
Once installed, you can lock the aXs into place by removing the back housing of the base and use the
provided hardware with a 9/16 socket wrench to tighten it into place.
Properly bond the anchor socket using the attached bonding screw per local codes.
