9) Lift until the patient’s
buttocks clears all obstacles
in the transfer path, chair
arm supports for example,
before moving the patient.
Guide the legs past any
obstacle.
10) When the patient is located
above the desired point of
transfer and ready to be
lowered, press the down
button.
WARNING: A patient should never be left
unattended during a transfer. In the unlikely
event of a failure of the device, the caregiver
must be ready to react.

trolley in the rail and use
the “quick release” to wind
up the strap. To do so, (1)
push the knob sideways
and (2) hold the strap while
it winds itself into the lift.
CAUTION: When using the “quick-release”,
hold the strap in your hand and release the
knob only when the strap is not in motion.
This will prevent wear of the internal
components.
15) Remove the sling from around the patient.
Emergency Lowering
The Voyager has a safety feature that allows the
lift to be lowered even if the electrical system does
not operate.
Located on the right side of the lift (near the
sling support), the emergency lowering device is
activated by the insertion of the key included with
this manual.
To lower safely a patient, follow these steps, as
illustrated in Fig. 14:
1) Find the rubber stopper and label on the side
of the lift and pull it out. Do not discard it.
2) Move the patient over a bed or chair
3) Insert the 4 mm Allen key into the opening then
turn it clockwise to lower the patient. The key
rotation turns the motor directly, so that for
each key turn, the patient will lower slightly.

CAUTION: The emergency lowering feature
is to be used only in case of emergency.
4) Once the patient is lowered safely on a bed or
into a wheelchair, remove the key from the lift

Voyager.
Emergency Brake
The emergency brake is an additional safety
feature that automatically prevents the patient
from falling in the unlikely event of a transmission
or motor failure.
WARNING: After an incident has occurred
and the brake was deployed, never attempt
to unlock the brake or press the UP button.
This may disengage the brake and make the
patient fall. The emergency lowering device
cannot be used.
WARNING: Never use a portable lift with
the emergency brake deployed. Use other
equipment to lower the patient. Forcing the
lift to make it move might lead to a patient
fall.
The emergency brake is intended for a single
activation and therefore can only be used
once. Call your Arjo agent to arrange for the
unit to be replaced.
