Recommendations
• Patient lift and stand aids:
- Long installation dimension: must always be used for patient lifts.
- Do not hold the inner or outer tube while the actuator is running. There can be a risk of squeezing between the manual lowering unit and the
outer tube.
- Always use the ratchet spline functions for patient lifts.
• LA40 8,000 N PL actuators for patient lifts are marked with a label to ensure that the user is aware that it is not allowed to pull the actuator
or otherwise expose it to side forces when handling the patient lift.
• If the actuator is used in dynamic push and pull, noise and extended play in axial direction may occur during lifetime due to wear and tear.
• The max. pull load and guidelines for safety arrangements in accordance with the User Manual must be respected.
• If the damper is activated too frequently, there is a risk of reduced damping effect.
• The damper functionality is not designed to work in environments with low temperatures (below 0 °C).
The actuator may become defective and/or the damping effect may be reduced.
• If the load on the actuator is too low, the damper will not be activated and the actuator will work with quick-release effect only.
• If the load on the actuator is too low and the QR is activated (i.e. when a caregiver uses QR for cleaning purposes), high clicking sounds may occur
during the actuator lowering. This is caused by the damper functionality and does not mean any actuator or damper damage.
Instruction concerning the turning of the piston rod eye:
When mounting and taking into use, it is not permitted to turn the piston rod eye several times. In cases where the eye is not positioned correctly,
the eye must be screwed to its bottom position (1) and then maximum half a turn outwards again (2).
Mounting bracket instructions:
To avoid damage to the actuator, it is important that the acutator drives to the application endstop position and continues to
operate in the groove until it activates the electric actuator endstop.
To avoid accumulated water inside the quick release lid (see illustration to the right) it is recommended not to mount the LA40
quick release actuator with the lid in downward position.
Manual lowering:
The picture to the right illustrates the manual lowering procedure.
In case of a power failure, it is possible to mechanically lower a patient placed in a patient lift. When turning the manual
lowering handle clockwise, the actuator can be moved fully inwards.
