ADA COMPLIANT
READ CAREFULLY
Check entire box and inside all packing materials for parts. Before beginning assembly, read the
instructions and identify parts using the fi gures and parts listed in this document.
It is critical all parts be carefully inspected by the installer prior to installation to ensure no
damage occurred in transit and a damaged part is not used. If any damage occurred in transit,
Aqua Creek Products, LLC must be notifi ed within three days of receipt of unit.
Proper installation cannot be overstressed, as an improper installation voids Aqua Creek’s

TOOLS REQUIRED:
CORE DRILL MARKING PEN
3” CORE DRILL BIT AIR NOZZLE & PUMP/COMP.
1 1/2” CORE DRILL BIT HEAT GUN (OPTIONAL)
EPOXY (ANCHOR ADHESIVE)* MASKING TAPE
*Use HILTI RE-500-SD adhesive anchor or SIMPSON SET-XP
anchor adhesive or equivalant.
NOTE: Your local codes may require one or more permits. Check with your local building codes for the proper
permit requirements.
1. Mark the center of the anchor location on your deck using the guidelines on page 3. Also
mark the center for the xing anchor 7 1/2” from the center anchor.
2. Using a 3” diameter core-drill bit, drill a 3” diameter hole at the anchor location. Make sure
to keep the bit square to the deck. Drill straight down to a depth of at least 6”. Then use a 1
1/2” drill bit for the xing anchor, drilling down at least 4”
NOTE: Create a depth marker on the drill bit with black electrical tape to make sure you drill to the right depth.
If you drill through the deck you may need to use the saw-cut installation instructions.
3. Remove plug and clean out the holes with a wire brush. Insert an air nozzle to the bottom
of the hole. Use a pump or compressed air to blow out the hole. A heat-gun may be helpful
in drying out the hole.
4. Place the anchor in the hole and ‘dry-t’ it rst to make sure the anchor will be ush and
plumb with the nished deck surface when installed. Adjust the hole as needed.
NOTE: Pool decks with pavers or thick tiles may require other anchor options. Contact Aqua Creek Products.
5. Inject epoxy adhesive into each hole starting at the bottom until the hole is 1/3 to 1/2 full.
NOTE: We recommend using masking tape around the top of the anchors so that no epoxy gets inside the anchors.

6. Install the anchor into the epoxy lled hole by pushing down and twisting back and
forth to evenly distribute the epoxy around the anchor. Push down until it is ush with the
nished deck surface. Clean o any excess epoxy. Adjust the anchor as needed to make
sure it is ush and plumb with the deck surface. This should be done during the adhesives’
specied ‘gel time’ (see epoxy manufacturers’ instructions).
7. Let the epoxy cure for at least 24 hours before installing the lift (or where applicable ac-
cording to the epoxy manufacturers’ instructions).
