THE PAL-PORTABLE AQUATIC LIFT Product Overview The PAL-Portable Aquatic Lift is designed to provide the greatest flexibility for swimming facilities seeking to provide access to more than one pool or spa, or to accommodate a user’s desire to enter a single pool in multiple locations. The PAL is completely portable, is battery powered, and is operated by a screw driven actuator. This design insures consistent operation and elimination of service problems that occur with water powered pool lifts.

Seating System. The seating system used with all RMT aquatic lifts is the product of years of feedback from our customers and information gathered from focus groups comprised of users of our lifts.

POOL DECK INSTALLATION FOR THE SPLASH! The Splash! is attached to the pool deck using any standard anchor commonly used for starting blocks or backstroke flag stanchions. For our standard Splash!, we recommend a standard anchor with a 1.90 inside diameter and 6 inches of depth. For our Splash! HD or Extended Reach models, we prefer a 2 1/2” square anchor (see photos below). The sleeve should be totally encapsulated in concrete. Make sure there are no air pockets or empty space around the sleeve.
TRANSFERRING (For PAL and Splash! units): Once the unit is positioned for use, use the following procedure to transfer to the seat and into the water for desired aquatic activity: • Rotate the seat to either side of the lift that is the most comfortable position for transfer. The unit can be rotated to allow plenty of room for those who may assist with the transfer. • Raise or lower the seat to proper transfer height. • Transfer onto the seat, insuring that the user’s weight is centered on the seat.
MAINTENANCE Minimal maintenance will prolong the life of your lift. All electronic components should be kept clean and dry. The control box and battery should be protected from exposure to water. A small waterproof cover is provided with each lift to cover the control box when in use. This cover must be used to protect electronic components from sudden rainstorms or dousing with pool water. If the lift is used outdoors, an optional full cover is available and should be considered.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Be sure the battery is fully charged before troubleshooting. Unit does not rotate Does unit raise or lower? Yes. 1. Check connection to Control Box. Be sure plug is pushed in all the way. 2. Check hand control connection to Control Unit for damaged pins. 3. Check connections on terminal block located on frame for loose wires. 4.
