1)
Locate the anchor plate, four (4) anchor inserts with
nuts and mounting hardware).
(If sold separately from
lift, part number
F-910SAJP
).
2) Mark out a section of the pool deck that you are
removing using a chalk line or straight edge and a
marker. You should plan on removing at least a 24
inch long by 6-inch wide section.
3) Using the saw with the diamond blade, make your cuts
along the lines that you marked.
4) Using the sledge hammer, break up the concrete within
the area that you cut and remove the pieces.
5) After you have removed the portion of the deck, verify
that your new deck will be able to be at least 8 inches
deep.
6) Remove ONE of the nuts from each of the anchor
inserts and place the anchor inserts through the larger
holes in the anchor plate. Thread the nut back on the
other side of the anchor insert so that the anchor plate
is sandwiched between the nuts. (See diagram on left).
7) Install rebar in the open area of the deck. Tie the rebar
into the existing deck if possible.
8) Set the anchor system in place making sure that the
center line of the anchor inserts
are no more than 38
inches away from the pools edge.
9) Using the string line or a straight edge, make sure the
top of each anchor bolt is level and flush with the
FINISHED
deck surface.
Each anchor bolt can be
adjusted individually by turning the nuts with a large
wrench.
10) Bond the anchor system using the bonding lug on the
anchor jig-plate. The anchor should be bonded to the
pool’s bonding-grid according to your local code
requirements. (See NEC Article 680.26).
11) Pour your concrete and finish the pool deck surface.
12) Once the concrete has cured, install the lift by aligning
the holes in the lifts base with the anchors installed in
the deck. Secure the lift to the deck using the stainless
steel hardware that comes with it.

NOTE: Use Anti-Seize lube on the hardware to prevent
the hardware from seizing in the anchor inserts.
