Controls and Features
Control Handset:- (see fig 3) Raising and
lowering the jib and opening and closing the
chassis legs, is achieved by pressing the appropriate
button on the control handset. Note: icons with
direction arrows are printed on each button for
quick reference.
If pressure is released during any function powered
motion will cease immediately. Do not drop the
handset into water, e.g.: bath etc., although if this
does happen inadvertently no harm will come to
patient or attendant.
When not in use, the handset can be conveniently
kept ready for use by hooking it over the handle
support at the rear of the mast.
Dual Control Panel:- (see fig 4) An additional
feature fitted to the Opera, is a mast mounted dual
switch panel which operates in parallel with the
control handset enabling powered operations to be
controlled from the lifter mast as well as remotely,
using the handset. As with the handset, icons with
direction arrows are printed on each button for
quick reference.
Emergency Stop Button (Red):- (See fig 5) If, in
an emergency, you have to immediately stop any
powered movement, (other than by releasing
pressure on the control handset button or dual
switch panel button), press the “emergency stop
button”, situated on the rear of the mast.
Once the emergency stop button has been operated,
the green reset button will have to be re-engaged by
pressing it in, before any powered movement can
be utilised.
Reset button (green):- (See fig 5) Adjacent to the
emergency stop button. It is used to reset the ‘power
on’ condition, once the emergency stop button has
been operated, also used to reset if the automatic
overload fuse has operated, indicated by the reset
button projecting outwards slightly. If the fuse has
operated and once reset, operates again, withdraw
the lifter from use and contact ARJO Service
department or their appointed distributor.
