To pour a footing underneath your pavers you will need to…

1. Measure the thickness of your pavers so the pavers can be laid down on top of the new footing and still be flush with the other surrounding pavers.   
2. Remove enough pavers to allow you to dig the recommended footing for the lift.  Keep in mind that the anchors will need to be bonded according to your local code requirements and additional excavation/construction may be required to achieve this depending on your particular situation.  (See “IMPORTANT NOTE” below).  
3. Follow the anchor installation instructions with the manual.  The one exception you will have to make is to leave the anchors protruding above the new footing the same height as your pavers depth.  Make sure you leave enough of the anchor in the footing as required with the normal installation, in other words, if four inches of the standard anchor needs to be installed in the footing, make sure at least that amount of the longer anchor(s) is installed in your new footing.
4. Once the footing has cured, you can place your pavers back into place on top of your new footing.  You may need to drill holes into your pavers or cut and/or modify your pavers to fit around the anchors.  
5. Grout your pavers to match the rest of the pavers on your deck.
6. Bolt the lift into place and you are done!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation of pool lift anchors typically requires bonding of the anchors according to your local code requirements.  According to the NEC (National Electric Code), bonding is required of any metallic product within 5 feet horizontally and 12 feet vertically of the pools edge and is designed to protect users by equally dispersing any stray electrical charge(s) throughout the entire pool area that may occur either naturally or by human cause.  This is often referred to as equipotential bonding and is intended to even out any electrical charge so that a person does not come into contact with different voltages within the pool area creating an electrical shock hazard.
