24 VOLT BATTERY SYSTEMS WITH CONTROLS
All of Global Lift Corp’s Superior/Proformance 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 2 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. 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.
When setting the battery down, place it horizontally as to avoid contacting
the battery terminals with anything conductive, and damaging the battery.
Place the rubber cover over the control box connectors. Place the battery
in the charging unit. When the battery is charging the light will be
illuminated red/orange, indicating charging. Once fully charged the charge
light will turn green, indicating fully charged and ready for use in your
Superior/Proformance series pool lift.

SUPERIOR SERIES POOL LIFT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to using the Superior/Proformance 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 2 button easy controls in your hand, press the arrow that specifies
down, 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 on the 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 re-lock the lift when the pool is not in operation.
In the unlikely event that the lift does not return from the water using the hand control,
have an attendant press the emergency return button on the front of the control box or
on the underside of the control box and the lift will return to pool side.
