OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS –EZ POOL LIFT
The EZ Pool Lift was not designed to be a self-operable unit and as such requires the use
of an operator to assist the lift user with the transfer into and out of the pool.
There are two methods of loading the lift user into the harness. The method of loading will
depend on the physical ability of the lift user. If the user has very limited use of his upper
body, it will be necessary to follow the procedure as outlined below. If the user is
physically able, he can simply place himself into the harness without need for assistance.
However, once in the harness, it will still be necessary for an operator to assist with the
transfer into or out of the pool.
With the lift in the up position and the boom arm located over the deck, roll the user
under the lift and engage the brakes on the wheelchair.
With the user facing the assistant, place the mesh seat sling under the seated user
while still in the wheelchair.
Attach the chain to the mesh sling and the overhead hanger bar. There should not
be any slack in the chain at this time.
Make sure all chain connections are secure and the mesh seat sling is level on
each side.
Raise the user by pumping the hydraulic ram handle until the desired height is
achieved. The user should just clear the wheelchair. Move the wheelchair out of
the way if needed.
Rotate the lift so that the user is above the pool, keeping one hand on the boom and
one hand on the user to stabilize them.
Lower the user into the water by pressing the handle
towards the ram until it depresses the release pin. The
hydraulic ram automatically controls the rate of descent for
safety and control.
This procedure is repeated to remove a user from the water.
When the lift is not in use, remove the sling, hanger bar and
mast from the anchor socket and replace the protective
anchor cap.
NOTE:
FOR SAFETY, CHECK FOR WORN PARTS AND LOOSE BOLT CONNECTIONS PRIOR
TO EACH USE.
ALL OPERATORS SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL LIFT COMPONENTS AND THEIR
INTENDED USES.
OPERATORS SHOULD ALSO BE COMFORTABLE WITH ALL LIFTING PROCEDURES
BEFORE ATTAMPTING TO LIFT A PERSON WITH THE LIFT.
