DO NOT OPERATE LIFT UNLESS ALL MAINTENANCE POINTS PASS INSPECTION
WARNING:
•ALWAYS plan your lifting operations before commencing.
•ALWAYS carry out the daily check list before using the lift.
•ALWAYS familiarize yourself with the operating control and safety features of a lift before lifting a
patient.
•DO NOT use a sling unless it is recommended for use with the lift.
•ALWAYS check if the sling is suitable for the particular patient and is of the correct size and capacity.
•NEVER use a sling which is frayed or damaged.
•ALWAYS t the sling according to the instructions provided.
•ALWAYS check the safe working load of the lift to be sure it is suitable for the weight of the patient.
ALWAYS carry out lifting operations according to the instructions in the user manual.
•NEVER disconnect or bypass a control or safety feature because it seems easier to operate the lift.
•DO NOT lift a patent with the caster brakes on. Always let the lift nd the correct center of gravity.
•DO NOT attempt to maneuver the lift by pushing on the mast, boom, or patient.
•ALWAYS maneuver the lift with the handle provided.
ALWAYS lower the patient to the lowest comfortable position before transfers.
•DO NOT push a loaded lift at speeds which exceed a slow walking pace (1.9 miles/hour, 2.6 foot/
second).
•DO NOT push the lift over uneven or rough ground. Particularly if loaded.
•DO NOT attempt to push/pull a loaded lift over a oor obstruction, which the casters are unable to
ride over.
•NEVER force an operating/safety control. All controls are easy to use and do not require excessive
force.
•DO NOT park a loaded lift on ANY sloping surface.
•DO NOT use electric lifts in a shower.
•DO NOT charge an electric lift in a bathroom or shower room.
•DO NOT lift a patient unless you are trained and competent to do so.
•YOUR lift is for patient lifting. DO NOT use it, or allow it to be used for any other purpose.
•DO NOT bump the lift down steps, loaded, or unloaded.
•DO NOT attempt to negotiate a loaded lift on a slope.
•ALWAYS check that the hoist is not charging before moving as the electrical connection may be
damaged.
•CAUTION: Keep the batteries fully charged. Place the lift on charge whenever it is not in use. The
charger will not allow the batteries to “overcharge”.
•NEVER lift with the legs in the closed/transport position. The closed position is for storage and
transport only.
•CAUTION: Never run the batteries completely at. If the audible warning sounds, complete the lifting
operation in hand and place the lift on charge.
•CAUTION: Never store the lift for long periods without regular charging throughout the storage
period.
•CAUTION: Always make sure the main power to the charger is switched off before connecting or
disconnecting the charger to or from the lift.
•CAUTION: Never leave the charger plugged into the lift with the main power off.
•CAUTION: Never disconnect the charger plug by pulling on the cable.
The lift has two braked casters, which can be applied for parking. When lifting, the casters should
be left free and unlocked, so that the lift will then be able to move to the center of gravity of the lift.
•DO NOT apply the brakes because if the brakes are applied, the patient might swing to the center of
gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable to the resident.
