Product description
Automatic stop function: Great care should be
taken not to lower the jib and / or spreader bar
onto the resident or any obstruction, particularly
when the resident is standing up and weight
bearing. If this should 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.
OverHeat Protection: The buzzer will beep
twice every 15s and “OverHeat” will display on the
LCD. This happens when the caregiver exceeds the
duty cycle for the lift actuator (2 min / 18 min)
When it starts beeping, lifting and lowering is still
possible. This function protects actuator against
damage.
Battery discharge indicator: There is a small
battery symbol on the bottom of the LCD. The
battery symbol shows the level of battery charge.
(See Fig. 1 and also the ‘Battery Charging’
section for complete description).
Chassis castor brakes: The chassis rear
castors have brakes which can be foot operated
(See Fig. 4).
Powered adjustable width chassis legs: The
mobile chassis legs can be opened to avoid
obstructions e.g. chair legs. This can be done by
operating the hand control, using only one hand
and having the other free to hold onto the lift or
care for the resident. Use the lower button to
close the chassis legs and the upper one to open
them (See Fig. 2).
Numerous positions can be obtained between
fully opened and fully closed.
Transportation should be done with the chassis
legs closed, it will be easier to push the lifter
through doorways, etc.
When opening the chassis legs, the rear castors
will close inwards.
Hour/Cycle Meter: On the top of the LCD
display it shows the total duration of the lift and
lowering operation (in hours - see item 17B,
Fig. 1). The LCD can also show the number of
cycles by simultaneously pressing the “raise”
and “lower” button. This is primarily intended
to help the caregiver calculate maintenance
intervals.
Scale (optional): To use the scale, if available,
refer to the Scale IFU.
WARNING
Before operating the “System failure
lower override” to lower a resident,
always ensure that a chair or suitable
support is underneath ready to accept
the resident.
