*Hardware is not supplied since the type and length of bolt may vary depending on your particular
application. Depending on the accessibility to your deck joists, you will need to source the proper length
3/8” stainless steel hex bolts to drill throught the joist(s) and secure with nuts and washers or 3/8”stainless
steel lag bolts. Aqua Creek recommends type 316 Stainless on all individually sourced hardware if
available.

Installation Instructions
This product has been tested, and is only intended for use on a wood deck where the joists are located
16” on center. Modication of the deck may be required. Do not use this product for situations it was not
intended for.
For commercial applications, refer to the required clear deck space and other measurements in FIG 2 at the
bottom of the page.
Refer to FIG 3 on the next page for the following step-by-step instructions:
1. Find a location between two joists to safely drill a 2 1/2” to 3” hole for the main anchor assembly. Mark
the center of the hole.
2. Before drilling the main hole, measure 5 1/4”over and 5 1/4”down (See FIG 3 on page 4) and mark the
5/8” hole center for the xing anchor.
3. Drill the holes through the deck surface.
a. The xing anchor hole can be done in the next step if you prefer to allow for better alignment of
the holes. Mark the hole from the bottom and drill up instead.
4. Adjust the width of the bracket to t snug between the joists and push the anchor assembly up through
the main hole. Make it fairly tight so the anchor assembly stays in place while the next holes are
marked.
5. Mark the center of the six (6) holes for the mounting brackets.
6. Remove the anchor assembly and drill the holes with a 1/2”drill bit.
7. Re-insert the anchor assembly and secure in place using the 3/8” stainless steel bolts, washers and lock
nuts sourced locally.
8. Bond the anchor according to local code requirements.

Installing Lift On Wood Deck Anchor
The Scout Lift is shipped via truck and will arrive mostly assembled and ready to install into the anchor.
1. Carefully unpack the lift and inspect for any damages or missing components.
2. With another person, lift the main lift assembly o the crate and place over the top of the wood
deck aligning the post at the bottom of the mast with the socket of the anchor and set into place.
3. Turn the lift so the xing anchor lines up with the xing anchor hole. Secure using the 1/2” x 3”
stainless steel bolt and washer supplied with your lift.
4. Before using the lift test it to make sure it rotates left and right and goes up and down smoothly.
Make sure it doesn’t wobble as it rotates. Then the lift is ready for use.
