DECK PROFILE SHEET CONFIRMATION
Aquatic access lifts are application specific. A completed Deck Profile Sheet helps to ensure the lift
purchased for the application will work in accordance to ADA guidelines. S.R. Smith reviews all submitted
Deck Profile Sheets as a service to our customers, free of charge. Before installing the pool lift, the
installer must review and confirm the information provided on the Deck Profile Sheet. If the description of
the application does not match the installation site, a new Deck Profile Sheet must be completed and
submitted to S.R. Smith.
NOTE: FAILURE TO COMPLETE AN ACCURATE DECK PROFILE SHEET MAY RESULT IN THE
LIFT NOT MEETING ADA COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES.
To complete the Deck Profile Sheet online, visit www.srsmith.com/liftprofile, contact Customer Service at

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE
BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to provide information relating to the installation, safe operation, care,
and maintenance of the multiLift™.
Intended Lift User
S.R. Smith’s lifts have been designed to assist individuals requiring assistance entering or exiting a
swimming pool or spa. The user must not exceed the weight limit of the product (350 lb/158.75 kg). It is
the responsibility of the lift owner to ensure that safety procedures are put in place and a risk assessment
is completed. Mental or physical disabilities may require assisted transfer, and the owner is responsible
for determining the number of qualified attendants to complete the poolside transfer and the number of
persons required to be in the water, ready to receive and assist the user. The correct stabilizing system
(seat belt or stability vest) must be attached to the seat and fully fastened and used during each transfer.
Our goal is to provide our customers with the most advanced and innovative designs offering exceptional
quality at affordable prices. All of our lifts meet the specifications set forth by the Access Board - ADAAG
2004. The lift system and AC powered battery charger complies with EN60601-1-2, 2007/03.
Using the multiLift™
Obey all User Instructions listed in the Owner’s Manual whenever using lift. Obey all Caution, Warning,
Operating Instruction(s) and Labels located on the lift whenever using. It is the responsibility of the lift
Owner to ensure that the correct safety procedures have been put in place and a risk assessment carried
out. If a User is mentally challenged or has physical disabilities these issues must be taken into account
to determine the number of persons required to complete the transfer onto the seat and the number of
persons required to be in the water, ready to receive the User. If the multiLift™ will be used by a disabled
person living on their own, a communication device should be installed in the area of use to call for
assistance in the event of an emergency. Only persons healthy enough for water activities should use the
multiLift™. Users should consult with their physician to determine if water activities are appropriate for the
User. Keep fingers and hands clear of lift arms during use.

multiLift™ AQUATIC LIFT SYSTEM
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The multiLift™ Aquatic Lift is a semi-portable lift system designed so that individuals with disabilities and
mobility impairments can have access to residential, hospitality and multiunit facility swimming pools or
spas. The multiLift™ is powered by a 24 volt rechargeable battery operated by a screw driven electronic
actuator that provides the lifting and lowering motions. Following all instructions in the owner’s manual,
and all product labels is necessary to achieve safe, reliable and proper performance of the lift and avoid
injury. This ensures consistent safe operation and minimizes service problems.
The multiLift™ has a mast height of 42 in / 106.6 cm above the deck. It is intended to be used with simple
pool gutter configurations having a deck to water distance of no more than 8 inches, see Table 1 and
Figure 10 to determine if the multiLift™ will work on a specific pool. The maximum weight capacity for
multiLift™ is 350 lb/158.75 kg. Only persons healthy enough for water activities should use the multiLift™.
Users should consult with their physician to determine if water activities are appropriate for the user.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The lift is made up of several main components:
multiLift™ Assembly- Primary lift assembly, includes frame components, mounting base, and actuator.
All metal lift components are manufactured from stainless steel or aluminum and powder-coated for
additional corrosion protection. The standard multiLift™ seat assembly is a right mount configuration but
can be field mounted to the left side.
Plastic Protective Pad- The protective plastic pad is designed to be attached to the bottom side of the
multiLift™ mounting plate and act as a protective barrier to prevent damage to the multiLift™ base plate
or the pool deck.
Seat Assembly - The seat is manufactured from roto-molded plastic with a stainless steel frame. There
are two available forms of safety devices – the seat belt which comes standard, and the optional stability
vest. The seat has attachment points for both devices and both are easy to attach. Be sure to select the
appropriate safety device for the intended user.
It is recommended that people with limited or no body movement at or below the waist shall use
the seat belt restraint when using the lift.
It is recommended that people with limited or no body movement at or below the shoulders shall
use the optional stability vest restraint when using the lift.
The seat belt or optional stability vest must be used during each use. It is recommended that the seat be
rinsed off with fresh water between each use and cleansed daily with a disinfectant solution of 1:100
dilution of household bleach to fresh water and then rinsed with fresh water. In the event of a
contamination incident such as patient/user excreta - cleanse seat and seatbelt or stability vest
immediately with the above disinfectant solution. Do not use seatbelt or stability vest if it is damaged or
becomes worn.
The optional armrests (US only - standard on EU models) are designed for support when transferring
onto the seat. They can be rotated up out of the way during transfer. If the lift did not include the optional
arm rests they can be purchased separately and easily installed at a later date.
The lift seat assembly is designed to be used exclusively with S.R. Smith aquatic access lifts.
Footrest- The footrest is constructed of roto-molded plastic and is easily removable.
LiftOperator Control Box – LiftOperator controls all lift operations. For more information on the
control box see the LiftOperator Owner’s Manual, P/N 700-0500.
LiftOperator Battery - The battery is located on top of the control box and is removable. It should be
charged daily. Do not allow battery to fully discharge, as it will shorten battery life. Whenever battery is
removed from control box or lift is not in use it is important to connect battery to charger. This ensures
battery is fully charged and ready for use. The LED indicators on the battery can be checked to determine
the battery charge level.
Do not drop battery as it could cause the unit to fail. If battery case is cracked do not use and replace. Do
not place battery on a conductive surface. Placing battery on a conductive surface may cause a short.
Battery has contacts located on bottom of housing. During temperature extremes beyond the range of
41 F (5 C) to 104 F (40 C) remove battery and place in a controlled environment or battery life can be
shortened. For more information on the battery see the LiftOperator Owner’s Manual, P/N 700-0500.

700-9000 6.14.138
Hand Control – The two button unit controls lift movement. The arrows indicate
direction of movement. Control is fully waterproof and meets IP67 standards.
See Figure 2.
