This manual contains important safety and maintenance instructions. Please read it
carefully before installing and using your patient lifter.
DANGER!
The National Electrical Code requires that all metallic objects in the
proximity of a swimming pool must be connected by no less than a #8
AWG solid copper wire to a common bonding grid such as the structural
reinforcing steel or the walls of a welded metal pool structure. Attach wire
to ground lug on cement-in sleeve.
WARNING!
This lifter is not interchangeable with any other Hoyer Lifter models. Use
only genuine Hoyer parts and Hoyer slings on all Hoyer lifters. Hoyer lifter
parts are not interchangeable with other manufacturers’ parts. Replace any
worn parts immediately.
WARNING!
Do not exceed maximum weight capacity of 400 lbs.
Installation of Cement-in Sleeve
Notice: All sleeves are nowbeing supplied forflush installation with flush cover
Position the sleeve location per the layout in
Figure 1. Proper position for the mast is 8 to
10 inches from the edge of the pool or tub. The
cement-in sleeve itself is a cylinder 3¼ inches in
diameter and 8 inches long. Mark a 6 inch circle
if existing concrete is to be removed. In a new
installation, position the sleeve on center and
flush with grade.
When the cement-in sleeve is to be installed in
an existing concrete floor or deck, a hole at
least 6 inches in diameter must be cut (Figure
2). The opening must be at least 8 inches deep.
Fill the bottom of the hole with non-shrinking
cement, such as Por-Rok. Make sure the sleeve
is perfectly vertical. Fill in around the sleeve
with more non-shrinking cement. Allow the
cement to set-up and finish the top surface.

M a i n tenance and Use3
The diagram (Figure 3) shows a cross section of
the finished installation for the cement-in sleeve.
Notice that the sleeve is completely imbedded in
cement and that a good bond is secured between
the new and old concrete. When installing the
sleeve in a new job, position the sleeve and line it
up when the forms are being installed. Pour the
concrete around the sleeve as the deck or floor is
poured. No special type of concrete is required.
NOTE: A wad of newspaper stuffed into the top of the
sleeve will keep the interior free of concrete while the floor is
being poured.
Installation of Lifter
When the sleeve has been installed as described
above and the concrete has had several days to
cure, the lifter may be installed. The nylon bearing
socket supplied with the lifter must be installed in
the sleeve (Figure 4). Grease the outside of the
socket lightly before it is inserted into the sleeve.
This will prevent corrosion which may cause the
socket to stick in the sleeve. Vaseline is an excel-
lent lubricant if no commercial grease is on hand.
NOTE: The socket should be removed occasionally to
prevent corrosion.
With the socket in place, unpack the lifter and
insert the base of the mast into the socket and
sleeve (Figure 4). To attach the end of the boom
in the yoke hinge at the top of the mast, remove
the wing nut and bolt from the yoke hinge and
insert the boom end. Reinsert the bolt and
secure with the wing nut. Attach the swivel bar
to the boom end and to keep the chains apart.
The lifter is now ready for use.
Maintenance
Put a drop of oil on the joints at the top of the mast, top and bottom of the pump, and
the swivel bar hook every other month.
While oiling the lifter, check all the cap nuts and bolts to be sure they are tight.
Put a drop of oil on the pump handle hinge when the Hoyer lifter is put into service
and oil again every other month. This is very important, as the holes in the hinge
socket will wear when dry.
NOTE: In high humidity or salt areas, wax exposed lifter parts periodically to help prevent corrosion.
NOTE:KEEP LIFTER DRY AND CLEAN

To use the Hoyer Swimming Pool Lifter, remove the cover from the floor sleeve and insert the nylon
bearing socket. Insert the mast of the lifter into the socket. Attach the long chains to the swivel bar.
To use the Hoyer Sling #112-D, place the sling under the person being lifted so that the end of the
seat comes to the person’s knees. Attach the ends of the chains to the swivel bar and the S-hooks
to the sling. When the person is lifted so that he/she just clears the chair, the lifter boom should be
almost at maximum height. The person being lifted can then be lowered the full 62”. Follow lifting
