These installation instruction must be followed to meet advertised lifting capacities. SOCKET PLACEMENT The customer or installer and Aquatic Access mutually agree upon the socket location. Usually, the customer provides Aquatic Access with a drawing showing the measurements and configuration of the deck, coping, gutter, and pool wall.
SOCKET INSTALLATION Some states and localities require the grounding of any metal object within five feet of the pool edge, but this is sometimes difficult in retrofit versus new installations. Each socket has a grounding lug on the bottom to connect to a grounding rod.
