Emergency Lowering Mechanism
Contact your dealer immediately if standard troubleshooting techniques do not
correct the failure. Do not attempt to lift until all failure and safety issues have
been resolved.
In case of lift failure, please follow the procedures below to safely lower the user.
The Emergency Lowering Device is located at the top of the actuator shaft. It is
intended for use if the actuator or electronics fail to operate while the patient is
suspended in midair.
The device consists of a plastic collar ring that should be rst pulled down and turned
clock-wise continually until the patient has been lowered.
NOTE:
THE EMERGENCY LOWERING DEVICE IS INTENDED FOR USE DURING LIFT
FAILURE. THIS DEVICE WILL ALLOW LOWERING OF PATIENTS ONLY. PLEASE
CONTACT YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF FAILURE.
