Activeforever PAL 1000 Portable Aquatic Pool Lift - Manual (Page 6)

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. Unlike most seats that are standard
“life guard type” plastic shells, this is the first such system that is designed
specifically for disabled swimmers.
The seat itself is both deeper and higher to both provide a more stable platform
for sitting, as well as being able to better accommodate swimmers with reduced
trunk stability. The seat has been flattened considerably to eliminate any ridge
that would hamper transferring. The sections of the seat have attachment points
for both the standard seat belt assembly as well as our optional stability vest.
The standard, molded plastic footrest is removable and will float upwards to pre-
vent damage if the user lowers the chair too low over the deck.
The optional armrests have been significantly improved and strengthened, which
will allow them to be used for support when transferring onto the seat. They can
be rotated out of the way during a transfer and can now be added to a seat after
the fact, without the need to purchase an entire new seat assembly.
PAL / PAL Hi-Lo - Base Assembly Only
The Base Assembly is made up of several components as described below:
Casters. These are the wheels on which the PAL moves. The front wheels
are rigid and the back wheels are swivel and locking casters to facilitate
movement of unit.
Main Frame. This is the rectangular piece that is fixed to the casters. The
main frame is made up of several components:
Stabilizing Arms. These arms pull out to level the unit and should always
be engaged when the unit is in use.
Counter Weights. These 17 plates weigh approximately 40 pounds each and
are housed in the counter weight receptacle of the main frame. The weights
should be placed horizontally into the receptacle to facilitate handling.
Housing. ABS Plastic covering to cover main frame components from
weather. Needs to be in place prior to installing the mast assembly.
Handle. Connects to the Main Frame through openings in the housing.
