Using your Tenor
CHECKLIST BEFORE USE
For a list of what to check before use, please
read the “Preventive Maintenance Schedule”
section of this document.
PREPARATION
Unpack the battery supplied with the lift.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
disconnect the mains power, then remove the
pack from the charger and insert if fully into the
Tenor battery position, located at the rear of the
mast (See Fig. 1). Electrical connection is made
automatically.
Before approaching the resident
The caregiver should always tell the resident
what he / she is going to do and have the correct
sling size ready. Where possible, always
approach the resident from the front.
To ensure maximum resident comfort, do not
allow the resident to hold onto the spreader bar.
If required, the chassis legs may be opened to go
around a chair, wheelchair or to avoid bed legs
or any other obstruction.
To lift a resident from a chair
Hold the sling up with the leg sections pointing
downwards (See Fig. 5), to identify the
orientation of the sling.
Before using a sling, first read the ‘Guidelines
on the use of your sling’ and the sling label,
which are delivered with the sling.
Place the sling around the resident so that the
bottom of the back support area reaches the
bottom of the resident’s spine (it is not necessary
to pull the sling under the resident). Ensure the
head support area is behind the head (See Fig. 5).
Pull each leg section under each thigh so that they
appear on the inside of the thighs (See Fig. 6).
Ensure the sling is not folded or twisted under
the resident (See Fig. 6).
Move the Tenor towards the resident, ensure the
widest side of the spreader bar is facing towards
the resident and is at, or just below, shoulder
level (See Fig. 7).
CAUTION
A battery that is charged for the first
time, or after a long storage period,
must be charged until the charger indi-
cates full charge (See “Battery charger
IFU 001-24257).
WARNING
Never leave the resident unattended.
