24 VOLT BATTERY SYSTEMS WITH CONTROLS
All of Global Lift Corp’s Rotational Series Lifts are equipped with a sealed
24 volt battery that is rechargeable. Along with a charging unit, hand held
controller and control compartment. The 24 volt battery mounts right
above the control compartment and the battery simply snaps in. The
battery should be charged for 5-8 hours prior to the 1st use.
The unit is operated by the 4 button easy to use controls. Staff will use the
provided key to unlock the lift. The lock feature is located on the hand
controls or front of the control box. Insert the key provided and turn to
unlock the unit for use. (Avoid turning the key farther than 45 degrees as it
will damage the key) Once unlocked, the arrow pointing down will lower
the lift when depressed, the arrow that points up will raise the unit when
depressed and the bottom arrows will rotate the lift from left to right. If
you hear the low battery indicator tone “Do Not Use the Lift” remove the
battery from the unit and recharge the battery.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY:
Remove battery from the unit by unclipping from the control compartment.
Place the battery in the charging unit. When the battery is charging the
light will be illuminated, once fully charged the charge light will go off and
then the battery is ready for use in your Rotational Series pool lift.

ROTATIONAL SERIES POOL LIFT OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to using the Rotational Series Pool Lift, perform a test run of the lift empty. Once
that is completed and the lift is back to original position, make sure that the arm lifts
are in the up position and the seatbelt is unbuckled, once acknowledged you are ready!
Once you are in the seat, buckle the seatbelt (make sure it is snug) and lower the arm
rails. Before you attempt to operate the lift, make sure the pathway is clear from any
obstacles.
Once you have the 4 button easy controls in your hand, press the Left or Right arrow
that specifies which direction you want the lift to move in, once over the water press
the down arrow to lower the lift into the pool, keep in mind you don’t have to go to the
bottom of the cycle, you can stop the lift whenever you deem comfortable to exit the
lift. However when exiting the pool while on the lift, you should complete the cycle back
to the top to have a completely safe exit from the pool.
Once submerged into the pool, unbuckle the seatbelt and raise the armrest and slide off
of the seat. Once you are done with your pool activity, make sure the seat is lowered
sufficiently to allow you too easily slide back into the chair. Once you are seated, buckle
the seatbelt and make sure that it is snug, lower the armrest.
Next, to raise the lift chair out of the pool, make sure you press the button/arrow that
represents up on the control. Apply continuous pressure until the lift comes to a
complete stop at the end of the complete up cycle and then press the left or right arrow
to return to the pool deck. You now can unbuckle the seatbelt and raise the arm rest
and exit the unit. Staff will turn the key on the hand control or front of the control
panel to relock the lift when the pool is not in operation.

Actual application

Anchor R-450R

Step 1: Determine the location for installation (Make sure all ADA requirements are
met)
Step 2: Make sure that all the parts are present (Refer to the parts list)
1 -Anchor Sleeve w/ Base
1 -Binding Screw
1 -Plastic Cap
Step 3: At the determined location for installation, chalk out a 3’ X 3’ area prior to
cutting out the concrete. (Refer to overview, the front end of the Anchor Sleeve
must be 12” to 36” from the water’s edge or an obstacle that is present before the
water and 6” deep). New Construction, the concrete must be 6” deep with a ½”
reinforcing rod, minimum of an 18” grid.
NOTE: Make sure that all local codes and ordinances are met.
Step 4: Once the 3’ X 3’ area is cut out, make sure you drill in the inner wall of all 4
sides of the area (refer to the section detail) for the purpose of cold pinning the new
concrete to the old concrete. Use 1/2” rebar, 6” to 8” in length.
INSTALLATION STEPS
FEB 2012 New Construction/Saw Cut Sleeve
Anchor R-450R

Step 5: Place the Anchor Sleeve in the cut out area, make sure that the front of the Anchor
Sleeve is 12” (min) to 36” (max) from the water’s edge or 13” min if an obstacle is present
before the water. (refer to overview) A key element is to make sure that the Anchor Sleeve is
level and square with the pool so that your Rotational Series Lift sits properly on the deck.
NOTE: The lift will reach 48” from the anchor. If you place the anchor
sleeve 12” from the pools edge or an obstacle, the lift will reach 36” out
into the water. If you were to place the anchor sleeve 36” from the pools
edge, the lift will only reach 12” into the water.
Step 7: Bonding the unit –A binding screw is supplied with the Anchor Sleeve, locate the
binding screw, connect the binding screw to the bonding grid.
NOTE: Make sure that all local codes and ordinances are met.
Step 8: Pour in your concrete, (make sure you cover the hole on your anchor sleeve with the
plastic cap provided, so you don’t get concrete in the sleeve) a minimum of 4,000 psi concrete
with reinforcing rod. Also make sure that the top of the anchor sleeve is flush with the deck.
Before you install your lift make sure you let the concrete set up for 48 hours.
Step 9: After the concrete has set for 48 hours, now it’s time to install your lift. Place your
Rotational Series Lift over the anchor sleeve, once you have completed the installation, please
refer to User’s Manual for a safe operation.
