CONCRETE PAD REQUIREMENT
IMPORTANT: To safely install the Kingsher Pool Hoist
you will need a solid concrete pad to anchor it to.
CONCRETE PAD INSTALLATION
We recommend that approximately 1/3 of cubic
metres of concrete is used when pouring your pad.
This can be made up as a logical size, for example:
1000 x 1000 x 300 or 650 x 650 x 650. The ideal
location is placed up against the pool edge.
ANCHORING YOUR UNIT TO THE CONCRETE PAD
We provide 100mm anchors as standard which have
the receiver for the eye bolts. This will secure the
450mm Kingsher Pool Hoist base.
It’s highly recommended to use a minimum of
20MPa concrete strength.

operate. Twist to release.
Installation at Pool Deck
•Wheel the unit to the pool deck and place the base plate over the anchor points. Ensure the
wheels of the hoist are placed facing away from the pool.
•Insert the Eye Bolts into the holes and hand tighten only.
Use of the Lifter
•Always test the lifter by pressing up and down on the hand control before commencing a lift.
•Check safe working load ( WL) of lifter before attempting a lift and make sure the weight of
person being lifted complies.
•Test the hand control buttons and monitor the movement of the hoist prior to use to ensure
everything is working properly
•The arms of the hoist are weight bearing so the client can transfer easily.
•If you obtained a footrest, lift the seat and remove the wing nut from tubing. Place the
footrest into the tubing and hand tighten the wing nut prior to use.
Removing the Hoist
•Wash the Kingfisher with clean water (not chlorinated) prior to packing away.
•Remove the battery and place it on charge.
•Bring the lifting arm up to a vertical position and fold up the seat and arms.
•Remove the eye bolts from the base plate and place them in the travel holes on the trolley.
•Put cover on hoist.
•tand behind the hoist and lean back onto the trolley. ecure the Velcro belt on the trolley
before moving.
Battery Care
•After use, the battery should be placed in the charger to ensure it is fully charged when
required. Battery cover should remain on the battery housing to avoid damage and
corrosion.
Emergency Lo ering or Lifting – (Hand control override)
•If hand control is damaged – using a pen tip (or similar), push in the
holes as indicated on the control box as shown. Refer to the Battery
Care information page.

Installation Instructions – Kingfisher Pool Hoist
Tools required: Hammer Drill, 16mm masonry bit, Hole Cleaning Pump, Hole Cleaning Brush, Cartridge gun
for adhesive, Adhesive (included .
Earthing: As per AS3000 of the wiring rules standards, “In certain circumstances” it may be necessary to
have all conductive metal objects equally potentially bonded (earthed , this includes Pool Hoists. It is
advised to seek the opinion of a qualified electrician.
1. IMPORTANT: Place hoist in position the deck should be level if not the hoist will need packing
underneath the base plate it also may need longer bolts; contact Para Mobility. Distance from the
location point should ideally be 100mm to 500mm from the edge of pool Check for obstructions
when arm of hoist is rotated. Use the hoist base as a template.
NB: Anchors must be set into the concrete NOT into the tile bed or pavers. If there are pavers
surrounding the pool a concrete pad must be laid – contact Para Mobility for instructions.
2. Drill 16mm diameter hole to a minimum of 50mm into concrete substrate (i.e. 50mm below any tile
bed .
3. Remove dust and debris by brushing and blowing 3 times each (If hole is wet or flooded, remove
water with wet/dry vacuum . It is very important that the holes are dry and clean before applying
the adhesive.
4. Prepare all holes and socket studs before continuing onto next step.
5. Screw mixing nozzle onto adhesive cartridge (supplied and dispense 2-3 trigger pulls of adhesive to
waste until colour is grey with no streaks.
6. Insert tip of nozzle to bottom of hole and dispense adhesive until hole is about 2/3 full.
7. Insert threaded stud socket, with M12 threaded socket on top, with a rotating motion to release
trapped air. Finish the top of the M12 threaded socket flush with finished floor, making sure that
there is no adhesive in the threaded socket.
8. Wait until adhesive has fully cured before loading.
9. Clean with acetone.
Drill hole Brush and blow Inject adhesive and insert stud
NB. Tiles can be core drilled (16mm for a cleaner / neater finish.
Kingfisher Pool Hoist
Maintenance Schedule and Service Guidelines
The Kingfisher Pool Hoist has been manufactured in Australia and built to Australian Standards. It is
important to regularly check over your pool hoist and associated products from Para Mobility on a
regular basis.
The Kingfisher Pool Hoist is manufactured from stainless steel. Stainless steel is a corrosion resistant alloy
however, it may display rusting characteristics under certain conditions such as in plant rooms or if the
hoist is used in an indoor environment.
Following are some guidelines to assist you in developing a maintenance schedule for your hoist.
•Routinely wipe down all surfaces of the hoist, using un-chlorinated water. This will minimise the
potential build-up of corrosion or rust like symptoms (otherwise known as Tea Staining).
•In the event the equipment displays stubborn stains or heavy deposit build up, specialised
cleaning materials are needed to remove foreign substances to restore the original finish.
•Always use the supplied cover when not in use.
Hand Control
The Hand control is a floating hand
control. Never take the hand control out
of the control box at the bottom of the
hoist unless instructed by Para Mobility or
your distributor. Check the hand control
by regularly pressing the button in the up
and down motion and before a lift to
ensure it is working correctly. Dropping
the hand control on the ground, could
damage the internal workings, please
take care at all times.
Battery and Control Box
Pool environments can be harsh, and your battery and control box needs to be protected from the
elements and chlorine products. Ensure the cover remains on the control box and battery unless
changing the battery. Check that the battery and control box terminals have a small dab of light
grease to ensure contact is being made. A regular check of these terminals is important to ensure
every lift is successful. If any corrosion builds up on the terminals a light rub with a stainless steel pad will
remove it easily.
Actuator
The actuator lifts the main arm of the hoist. The hoist must never be rotated by pushing on the actuator,
this will damage the lifting mechanisms. Check to ensure it remains plugged into the bottom of the
control box. It must never be removed from the control box unless instructed by Para Mobility or your
distributor. When storing you pool hoist, DO NOT store it in a plant room where the hoist is exposed to
harsh chemicals, these chemicals could damage some of the inner working of the hoist. The arm of the
hoist must be kept down when not in use to minimise chemical build up on the actuator.
Safe Working Load sticker
This sticker must remain on the hoist at all times. This is the weight the hoist has been tested to lift. If this
needs replacing contact Para Mobility or your distributor.
