EMERGENCY LOWERING MECHANISM
In case of lift failure while using the Medline MDS400EL, please
follow the procedures below to complete the intended lift and
transfer. The Emergency Lowering Device is located at the top of
the actuator shaft. It is intended for use should the actuator fail to
operate while a patient is suspended. The device consisting of a
plastic collar ring should be turned clock wise continually until the
patient has been lowered. Contact your dealer immediately if
standard troubleshooting techniques do not correct the failure. Do
not attempt to lift until all failure issues have been safely resolved.
NOTE:
The Emergency Lowering Device is intended for lowering only
during lift failure. Should standard troubleshooting techniques fail to
correct the lift and lower functions take the lift out of service and call
your dealer immediately for assistance. Do not attempt further lifts
until the lift is working properly.
