The diagram (Figure 3) shows a cross section of
the finished installation for the cement-in sleeve.
Notice that the sleeve is completely imbedded in
cement and that a good bond is secured between
the new and old concrete. When 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. No 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
When 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 excel-
lent 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
