It precedes information considered particularly useful.
1.2 General safety warnings
NOTE
xThe traction cable is coiled inside a drum, powered by a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) 24
Vcc motor, observing the ITC-BT-31 low voltage regulation (Electrotechnical regulation for
low voltage for installations for special purposes, swimming pools and fountains) for
swimming pools, capable of reaching a maximum output of 750 W.
xThe step is operated by an AISI-316 stainless steel cable.
xThe control system consists of an electronic board that manages the movements of the moving
step as well as the operating sensors.
DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION
Disconnect the power supplies during electrical assembly of the device.

WARNING
xKeep this manual in a safe place and within reach of the operator.
xThe electrical installation should be carried out by professional staff qualified in electrical
installations.
xThis device is not designed for people with physical, sensory or mental disabilities to the
point that they do not understand how the device works and the precautions that have to be
taken to use it, unless they are supervised or have been given instructions on how to use it
by a safety manager. Waterlift users should be fit enough to be able to stand upright out of
the water and safely hold the device handrails.
xChildren or adults are not allowed to lean or sit on the device. Supervise children to ensure
that they do not play with the device.
x
A
lways install the Waterlift together with a conventional ladder. Never use the Waterlift as
the only method for getting into the swimming pool.
xFor installation, follow current local or national regulations, particularly concerning the step
position, safety distances and electrical regulations in swimming pools or similar.
xIf special problems arise during installation, contact the distributor.

2 Introduction
General features
Waterlift is a device to make it easier to get into and out of a swimming pool.
Waterlift is a machine designed as an accessory for any type of swimming pool and user. One of its main
applications is for people with reduced mobility, and even people with a non-dependent disability. It is
designed to provide greater ease and comfort for the bather to get into and out of the swimming pool.
WARNING
Waterlift can lift a maximum load of 140 kg from its minimum to maximum position.
The Waterlift structure is made out of AISI-316 Ø 43 mm stainless steel tube to guarantee longer product
durability, thus preventing rusting and the action of chemicals used in swimming pools. For greater safety
and user comfort, the surfaces of non-structural plastic parts have been made with a non-slip surface.
The Waterlift is operated simply and safely using two double push-buttons strategically positioned on the
handrail:
xAt the top, outside the swimming pool, for the bather to get into the swimming pool.
xAt the bottom, on the edge of the swimming pool, for the bather to get out.
The lift's ergonomically-designed step gives the user the feeling of being comfortable and safe, therefore:
xSoles of the feet adapt to the step base without the possibility of slipping thanks to its non-slip surface.
xIt does not rub against the side of the swimming pool or with the lifting guides thanks its flexible
guards.
NOTE
A DVD with a promotional video of the APSignature products comes with this manual, with an
example of how to install the Waterlift. The installation shown in the example may not apply to your
swimming pool. Consult section 6 for the Waterlift installation.
3 Supply from the factory
The Waterlift is supplied from the factory as one package with two parts. To prevent damage during
transport and handling, it is supplied with a strong corrugated cardboard packaging, strapped to a long
wooden pallet. The total size of the package is 1000 x 2600 x 1410 mm.
