Attach wire to ground lug on cement-in sleeve.
WARNING!
T his lifter is not interchangeable with any other H oyer Lifter models. Use only genuine H oyer parts and H oyer slings on all H oyer lifters. H oyer 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 now being supplied for flush 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.

W hen 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.

Maintenance and Use

The diagram (Figure 3) shows a cross section of the finished installation for the cement-in sleeve. N otice that the sleeve is completely imbedded in cement and that a good bond is secured between the new and old concrete. W hen 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. N o 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

W hen 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 excellent 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
