Component Description 

 
The Base Assembly is made up of several components as described below: 
 

Wheels -

 Front wheels are rigid and back wheels swivel to facilitate movement. Both back wheels can 

and must be locked to prevent movement during transfer to and from the pool. 
 

WARNING: Failure to lock both rear wheels during transfer could cause lift movement and may 
result in injury.  Both rear wheels must be locked whenever the lift is positioned for use. Do not 
unlock rear wheels during transfer as the lift could move and may result in injury.  

 

Main Frame -

 The rectangular piece that is fixed to the wheels - the main frame is made up of several 

components: 
 

Stabilizing Arms -

 Two arms pull out to level the lift and must always be fully extended when the lift is in 

use.  
 

WARNING: Failure to fully extend both stabilizer arms during transfer could cause lift movement 
and may result in injury.   Both stabilizing arms must be fully extended whenever the lift is 
positioned for use. Do not retract stabilizing arms during transfer as the lift could move and may 
result in injury. 

 

Housing -

 ABS plastic cover shields main frame components from weather. The housing needs to be in 

place prior to installing mast assembly. 
 

Handle -

 Connects to Main Frame through openings in housing. 

 

Control Box -

 Controls lift operations. Three cables connect to rear of the Control Box. The largest 

connector is for the hand control. Connector # 1 is for the actuator cable (green stripe with the “o” ring). 
Connector # 2 is for the motor cable (red stripe).
