Page: 12 / 16

Entering the pool
1. Using the hand control, raise the Pelican lifter to well above the clients head, wheel the chair under the lifting
hanger
2.
Slide the sling down behind the back of the client (the grab handle should be at the top, facing you) and tuck
the bottom of the sling as low as possible underneath the buttock area (figure 1).
3. Bring the legs of the sling from the outside of the thigh underneath and up between the legs ensuring you tuck
the sling leg as high as possible 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.
