Step 4
Anchor Installation
If you purchased and installed an Elkhorn anchor previously, please proceed to the Operator’s Guide
section for instructions on safely operating your Elkhorn.
a)
Determine a suitable location for the lift. It is recommended that the lift be installed near the shallow
end of the pool in an area with a minimum pool deck to pool floor dimension of 42 inches. The
Elkhorn can be installed between 12 and 24 inches from the edge of the pool wall. Keep in mind that
the Elkhorn can rotate 360 degrees and has a maximum rotation radius of 4 feet – 0 inches.
Note: The Elkhorn can be mounted along a curved pool wall as long as there is sufficient clear space for
the boom arm and sling to rotate and lower into the pool. Do not locate the lift directly adjacent to stair
rails, ladders, or similar structures 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.
To meet Seismic Zone 4 requirements, the minimum anchor footing must be 27” wide, 54” long, 12” deep.
Please consult a qualified contractor in your area to determine an appropriate installation.
b)
Mark out a 12” x 12” area, centered on the anchor location marked in the previous step. This will be
the concrete to be removed. It is recommended that the anchor be located at least 6” from any
expansion joint, crack, drain, or similar structure in the concrete.
Note: If your concrete deck is 8” thick or more, an alternative anchor installation method is to be used.
Use a concrete core saw to cut a 4” diameter hole at the anchor installation location. Epoxy or hydraulic
cement can be used to secure the anchor in place. Make sure the anchor is properly bonded.
c)
Use a concrete cutting saw to cut out the 12” x 12” area in the deck. Use a heavy hammer of sledge to
break out the cut out area of the concrete.
d)
If the concrete deck is less than 6” thick, dig out the bottom of the hole to about 8” below the deck
surface, see figure 6.
e)
Locate a bonding source to bond (ground) the anchor. The steel rebar-bonding grid in your deck is the
best choice for bonding the anchor. Attach a N0. 8 or larger solid copper wire (NEC Section 680-22)
from the bonding bolt on the base of the anchor to the bonding grid.
