EZ POOL LIFT ANCHOR INSTALLATION
EZ POOL LIFT RETRO-FIT ANCHOR INSTALLATION
STEP 1:
Determine the best location for the lift. Be sure to mount the lift at a location that provides
at least 42” [107 cm] and no more than 48” [122 cm] from deck level to the bottom of the
pool. Make sure the location includes enough clear deck space to easily transfer into the
lift seat. Keep in mind this lift will require assistance from another person to operate and
you should locate it in an area that can accommodate another person. The lift should also
be located so as to provide at least 6’ [1.8 m] of unobstructed deck to each side of the lift
to accommodate easy maneuvering of the lift over the
water and back.
STEP 2:
Locate the concrete anchor socket that came with your
lift. Be careful to not lose the protective cap on the
anchor. This will be used to keep dirt and debris out of
the socket when the lift is not installed in the anchor.
STEP 3:
The setback to the center of the anchor must be no less
than 12” [30.5 cm] and no more than 20” [51 cm] from the pool wall. The anchor location
must also be at least 6” [15 cm] from any control joint or edge of concrete slab. Measure
the location out using your tape measure and marking pen. (Reference the drawing on the
next page for details).
NOTE:
The EZ Pool Lift comes standard with a 6” deep anchor socket that is
installed into a concrete deck. Anchor options include a surface mount anchor
and a wood deck anchor system both purchased separately. The EZ Pool Lift
standard 6” anchor system can be installed in an existing pool deck (Retro-fit
installation) or when pouring a new concrete pool deck (New construction
installation). If the anchor has already been installed you can move on to the
assembly section of this manual that is appropriate to the lift you purchased.

NOTE:
The concrete deck around the anchor system should be a minimum of 8”

each direction. The total concrete pad area should be at least 60” wide
(measured away from the pool edge) and 60” long (parallel with the pool edge).
