Emergency Lowering Mechanism
In the unlikely event of an abnormal situation, as example an electrical failure, the emergency lowering
mechanism provides a safe way of getting the patient down onto a chair, bed or wheelchair.
The emergency lowering mechanism is to be used only in case of an emergency.
Emergency Brake
In the unlikely event of an abnormal situation, as example a mechanical failure, the lift is equipped with a
brake system that automatically engages to block the descent. In this situation, the emergency lowering
mechanism will not be functional.
Pull the red emergency stop cord.
Open the small side door to access the lowering
mechanism.
Pull the 8 mm hex key from its storage compartment.
Insert the hex key deep into the axle. Turn the hex key
counter-clockwise to slowly lower the patient.
Once the patient is lowered and secured within a chair,
bed or wheelchair, call a qualified technician to inspect the
lift.
WARNING: If the emergency brake activates, turn the unit off, apply a warning sign on the lift to prevent
any further usage and call your local Arjo agent for an inspection.
