Automatic Stop Function - for use when
Lowering: (see Fig. 1) Great care shall be
taken not to lower the resident support arms
onto the resident or any other obstruction,
particularly when the resident is standing up
and weight bearing. If this shall happen, the
motor will continue to run but downward
movement will be blocked by the obstruction.
If this occurs, release pressure from the
“lower” button immediately and operate the
“raise” button until the equipment is clear.
Then remove the obstruction.
System failure lower override: This can be
used in the event of main control failure. In the
unlikely event that the control handset or dual
control feature fails to operate the Sara 3000,
with a resident still supported by the sling,
provision for lowering has been made, using
the system failure lower override, situated on
the actuator,
(see Figs. 1 & 3).
A label situated on the control collar is for quick
and easy recognition (see Fig. 3) To operate
this function, pull the slide control upwards
until the resident’s own weight enables the
mast to slowly lower. To cease lowering
release the slide control. Only use this function
in the event of normal control failure, do not
use it for normal function lowering.
Warning: Before operating the ‘system
failure lower override’ to lower a
resident, always ensure that a chair or
suitable support is underneath ready to
support the resident.

Battery Discharge Indicator: (see Fig. 1) This
is a small LED display, located on the battery
pack holder, which shows the charge
condition of the battery.
Hour Meter: (see Fig. 1) This is a small LCD
display which shows the total duration of
powered operation (in hours). This is primarily
intended as an aid to service engineers and to
help the caregiver calculate maintenance
intervals.
Chassis Castor Brakes: The chassis rear
castors have brakes which can be foot
operated if required (see Fig. 4), to keep the
Sara 3000 in position.

Foot Support: For positioning before and
supporting the resident’s feet during raising
and transfering.
Lower Leg Straps: Accessory used to ensure
that the lower parts of the resident’s legs stay
close to the knee support. They pass around
the knee supports, then around the resident’s
lower calves. To fasten, click the strap into it’s
socket as with a seatbelt. Ensure that the
straps are firm but comfortable for the
resident.
Adjustable Width Chassis Legs: To open the
chassis legs to any variable width, press the
appropriate button on the control handset.
When pressure is released from the button,
movement will stop and the chassis legs will
remain securely in position.
The resident shall be transferred with the
chassis legs closed, as this will be easier to
maneuver through doorways, etc.
