CONCRETE PAD REQUIREMENT
IMPORTANT: To safely install the Pelican 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 Pelican Pool Hoist base.
It’s highly recommended to use a minimum of
20MPa concrete strength.

PELICAN POOL & SPA HOIST
INSTALLATION GUIDE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PELICAN POOL HOIST
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.
We recommend you seek
the advice and opinion
of a qualied electrician.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• Hammer Drill
• 16mm masonry bit
• Hole Cleaning Pump
• Hole Cleaning Brush
• Cartridge gun – for adhesive
• Adhesive (included)
• Acetone
1. To safely install the Pelican Pool Hoist you will need a solid
concrete pad to anchor it to. 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. It’s highly recommended to use a minimum of
20MPa concrete strength.
2. Place hoist in position, ideally around 100 to 500mm from edge
of pool (can be further but check that lifting arm will reach into pool
far enough to lower person into water). Check for obstructions when
arm of hoist is rotated. Use the hoist base as a template.
3. 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.
4. Drill 16mm diameter hole to a minimum of 100mm into concrete
substrate. (Example: 100mm below any tile bed).
5. Remove dust and debris by brushing and blowing 3 times each
(If hole is wet or ooded, remove water with wet/dry vacuum). Hole
may be damp but must not be ooded.
6. Prepare all holes and socket studs before continuing onto next
step.
7. Screw mixing nozzle onto Adhesive cartridge (supplied) and
dispense 2-3 trigger pulls of adhesive to waste until colour is grey
with no streaks.
8. Insert tip of nozzle to bottom of hole and dispense adhesive.
9. Fill hole to about 2/3 full.
10. 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 ush with nished oor, making sure that there is no
adhesive in the threaded socket.
11. Wait until adhesive has fully cured before loading.
12. Clean up with acetone.

NB. Tiles can be core drilled (16mm) for a cleaner / neater nish.

underneath the thigh. Repeat the procedure on the other leg (figure 2)
4. Hook up the leg loops of the sling to the lifting hanger right to left, left to
right.
5. Hook up the shoulder loops right to right, left to left. There should now be a
total of four loops connected to the lifting hanger
6. Using the hand control, slowly raise the client off their chair and gently
rotate the client over the water for lowering. A carer should be in the pool
to accept the client if required.
7. Once the client is in the water, release the legs by unhooking the leg
sections of the sling from the lifting hanger.
8. The client floats in the sling or floats away with the carer.
Exiting from the pool
1. Lower the sling to its maximum distance to allow easy access to the sling in
the water
2. When the client is seated and the straps are connected correctly, raise the
sling using the hand control above the pool deck and pull the arm of the
lifter into the safe landing area and lower the client onto their chair for
exiting
3. When finished, lower the arm to its lowest position and install the travel pin
to lock any movement.
4. Remove the battery and replace into charger.

Pelican Pool and Spa Hoist
Maintenance Schedule and Service Guidelines
The Pelican Pool and Spa 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 Pelican Pool and Spa 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 (or other term is 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.
•If you have a Sling or Aquatic Wheelchair, regularly check the straps and stitching are not frayed or
damaged. Ensure the SWL sticker remains on the chair. Check for any damage to the fabric or the
frame of the chair.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

4. Safe Working Load
2. Battery
3. Actuator

Pelican Pool Cover Instructions
1. Ensure locking pin is in
2. Lower arm until lifting hanger just
touches the ground
3. Twist lifting hanger whilst lowering
arm
4. Pull cover over lifting hanger
5. Pull cover over wheels
