Lift Assembly
WARNING: DO NOT overtighten hardware. Product damage may occur.
Lift Operation
WARNING: More than one assistant is recommended for all resident lift activities.
WARNING: When mounting the battery on the charger, listen for an audible click to confirm proper
mounting. Otherwise, damage or injury could occur.
WARNING: DO NOT exceed 450 lb. weight capacity.
WARNING: Keep clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
Using the Sling
WARNING: For proper comfort and safety, use only a sling made for this resident lift and
recommended by a medical professional.
WARNING: DO NOT use any type of material between the resident and sling that may cause the
resident to slide out of the sling during transfer.
WARNING: DO NOT modify slings in any way. Before each use, check sling attachments to ensure
proper connection.
WARNING: If the resident is in a wheelchair, activate wheel locks to prevent chair from
moving during transfers.
WARNING: After each use or wash, inspect sling(s) for wear, tear and loose stitching. Bleached,
torn, cut, frayed or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard and replace immediately.
WARNING: When connecting slings equipped with color-coded straps to the resident lift, the
shortest straps MUST be at the back for proper support. The loops of the sling are color-coded and
can be used to help place the resident in various positions. The colors make it easier for you to
connect both sides of the sling equally. Always ensure the resident’s head is properly supported
during lifts.
Lifting the Resident
WARNING: Before lifting the resident, ensure legs on adjustable base lift are in the full open/locked
position.
WARNING: After elevating the resident a few inches above stationary object, ensure the sling
and all attachments are secure and properly connected. If any attachments are not properly in place,
lower the resident back onto the stationary object and correct this problem. Adjustments for safety
and comfort should be made before moving the resident. Be sure the resident’s arms are inside
straps.
WARNING: Use of other manufacturers’ components or accessories may compromise the operation
and are not to be utilized as a component of this resident lift system. The warranty will be voided.
WARNING: During transfers with the resident suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT
roll caster base over uneven surfaces that could cause the resident lift to tip over. Use steering
handle on the mast at all times to push or pull the resident lift.
WARNING: When lifting a resident, DO NOT lock the rear casters. Doing so could cause the lift to
tip and could injure the resident or assistants. The rear casters should be left unlocked during lifting
to allow the resident lift to stabilize itself when the resident is initially lifted from a chair, bed or any
stationary object.
