INSTALLATION: ADA GUIDELINES

ADA REQUIREMENTS:

The AquaTRAM™ Lift is designed and manufactured to be 100% ADA compliant. But for
the installed lift to be 100% compliant the installation must meet the requirement for
CLEAR DECK SPACE as shown in the diagram to the left. To be compliant, install the
QUICKSET® DUAL-WEDGE ANCHOR at 23 inches [584mm] (the maximum setback)
from the pool edge, and make sure the deck has the required CLEAR DECK SPACE as
shown.

NOTE: ADA requires a deck slope of no greater than 1:48 as shown.
NOTE: The ADA requires the seat to go at least 18” into the water. To make sure the

lift has enough clearance the lift should be installed at a location with 42”-48” of
depth (deck to pool floor).
