Anchor Installation: Retro-Fit Concrete
NOTE: The concrete deck around the
anchor should be a minimum of 8 inches
thick and reinforced with #4 bars at 10
inches on center, each way. The total
concrete pad area should be at least 60
inches wide and 60 inches long.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
TAPE MEASURE 4” CORE DRILL BIT
CORE DRILL FELT TIP MARKING PEN
ELECTRICAL TAPE VACCUM OR COMPRESSED AIR
CARPENTERS LEVEL 2-PART EPOXY (or equivalent)
1. Determine the best location for the lift. Mount the lift at a location that provides 42 inches [107cm] to
48 inches [122cm] deck level to the bottom of the pool (usually the shallow end). Make sure the location
has enough clear deck space to easily transfer. The lift requires at least 6 feet [1.8 meters] of unobstructed
deck to each side of the lift to accomodate easy maneuvering of the lift over the water and back. Keep in
mind this lift will require assistance so locate an area that can accomodate another person.
2. Locate the concrete anchor socket. Be careful to not lose the protective cap on the anchor as this will
be used to keep dirt and debris out of the socket when the lift is not installed in the anchor.
3. The setback to the center of the anchor must be no less than 12 inches [30.5cm] and no more than
20 inches [51cm] from the pool wall. The anchor location must also be at least 6 inches [15cm] from any
control joint or edge of concrete slab. Measure the location out using the tape measure and marking
pen. See FIGURE 1 on page 4 for details.
4. Core drill at least a 4 inch [10cm] diameter hole at the desired location for the lift anchor socket.
The hole will need to be 7 inches [18cm] deep to allow for the grounding lug which protrudes from the
bottom of the anchor.
NOTE: Use the electrical tape to make a mark on your drill bit at 7 inches [18cm] as a depth mark to
tell you when to stop drilling.
5. Clean out the hole using a vaccum or compressed air. Check that the hole is deep enough to allow
the anchor to be ush with the nished deck surface.
6. Ground the anchor according to your local code requirements. This may require additional drilling
and/or other tools.

Anchor Installation: Retro-Fit Concrete
7. Carefully insert the anchor into the hole. Pour a small amount of 2 part epoxy, or equivalent, around
the anchor. Check that the anchor will sit level or ush with the nished deck surface.
NOTE: Fill the hole about 1/3 full of 2 part epoxy, or equivalent, prior to inserting the anchor. As
you insert the anchor, rotate it back and forth so that you can evenly distribute the cement
or epoxy around the anchor.
8. Once anchor is level and ush with deck, pour cement or epoxy into the remaining space around
the anchor making sure there are no void spaces. Let cement or epoxy cure for 24 hours (or minimum
manufacturer’s recommendations) before installing and using lift.

pen. See FIGURE 1 on page 4 for details.
4. Ground the anchor according to the local code requirements.
5. Place the anchor in the proper location using the string level and string line to make sure the top of
the anchor will be ush with the nished surface of the new deck. Place a small amount of concrete at
the location of the anchor to hold it in place.
6. Verify all the measurements for accuracy and pour the deck as you normally would, making sure not
to get any concrete inside the anchor system. Allow the concrete to cure before installing and using the
lift.

Assembly Instructions
TOOLS REQUIRED:
9/16”WRENCH 3/4”WRENCH
The EZ Pool Lift arrives with the boom arm attached to the mast. To
complete the assembly, layout all parts on a large, clean area.
1. Locate the hydraulic ram and attach the upper end of the hydraulic
ram to the boom with one (1) 3/8”x 1-3/4” hex head bolt, two (2) 3/8”
at washers and one (1) 3/8”nylock nut. See Step 1.
2. Connect the lower end of the hydraulic ram to the mast with one
(1) 3/8” x 1-3/4”hex head bolt, two (2) 3/8” at washers and one (1)
3/8” nylock nut. See Step 2.
WARNING!! MAKE SURE THAT THE 3/8” ROD END IS ALWAYS FULLY
SEATED WITH THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE THREAD BEING USED.
3. Install lift into previously installed anchor socket in the pool deck.
Make sure that the mast is seated at the bottom of the anchor. Check
to ensure easy rotation of the lift in nylon lined anchor sleeve.
4. Locate the chain assembly and insert the quick links
into the holes in the sling support bars (A).
Attach the hanger to the boom eye on the lift (B).
Adjust the chain links so that the sling is at the appropriate height to
allow the user easy access (C). This may require several adjustments.
Also, be mindful of any obstacles such as coping or a gutter that will
need to be cleared. See Step 4.
Assembly is complete. Prior to lifting any persons, it is recommended
that the lift be operated 3-5 times without a load for the lifts “break
in” period as well as to check for proper functioning (and that the
instructions for operating the lift be read and incorporated into a
training program for the persons who will be operating the lift).
For any person operating the lift, please continue to operating
instructions. Read carefully for comprehension.

Operating Instructions
NOTE: For safety, check for worn parts and loose bolt connections prior to each use. All operators
should be familiar with all lift components and their intended uses. Operators should also be
comfortable with all lifting procedures before attempting to lift a person with the lift.
The EZ 2 Pool Lift requires the use of an operator to assist the lift occupant with the transfer into the pool.
There are two methods of loading the lift occupant into the harness. The method of loading will depend
on the physical ability of the lift occupant. If the user is physically able, he/she can simply place themself
into the harness without need for assistance. If the user has very limited use of his/her upper body, it will
be necessary to follow the procedure below.
1. With the lift in the raised position and the boom arm located over the deck, roll the user under the lift
and engage the brakes on the wheelchair.
2. With the user facing the assistant, gently slide the mesh seat sling under the seated user while still in
the wheelchair.
3. Attach the chain to the mesh sling and the overhead hanger bar. Avoid excess slack in the chain.
4. Ensure all chain connections are secure and the mesh seat sling is even on each side of user.
5. Raise the user by pumping the hydraulic ram handle until the desired height is achieved.
6. Rotate the lift so that the user is above the pool. Never push on the actuator! Use the turn bar or
place one hand on the boom arm and one hand on the mast.
7. Lower the user into the water by pressing the handle towards the ram until it depresses the release
pin. The hydraulic ram automatically controls the rate of descent for safety and control. Lower until
the user is submerged suciently in the water to allow an easy transfer to the pool.
8. This procedure is repeated to remove a user from the water.
9. When the lift is not in use, remove the sling, hanger bar and mast from the anchor socket and replace
the protective cap.
Thank you for purchasing the Aqua Creek EZ 2 Pool Lift. Enjoy the pool
and this product for many years with proper use and maintenance.
See page 10 of this manual for proper care instructions.

Hard Seat Installation
To install the hard seat option onto an EZ Series lift the sling seat must first be removed. To do this,
simply unhook the hanger bar from the lift and store the hanger bar, chains and sling seat together.
Note: Actual product may vary slightly from images below.
REMOVE HANGER BAR,
CHAINS AND SLING
Once the sling seat has been removed, add the quick link to the u-bolt that is attached to the lifts boom
arm. Then, attach the 4-point hanger bar to the quick link followed by connecting the chains and hard
seat to the 4-point hanger bar. All pools and spas are different so the chains may have to be adjusted
slightly to fit specific applications and/or personal needs.
