Instructions for use

Installation of product

Note! Assembly of 150kg and 200kg Walking Trainers is identical. The only difference is the undercarriage.

• Place the lifting mast in the mast holder of the frame. Tighten the two screws with the 5mm Insex wrench provided, and use locking nut on opposite site.
• Connect the cable from the leg spreading motor to the control unit in output terminal 2, see “Electrical component diagram”

Installation of liftig unit and hand support

• Brake the rear wheels.
• Hold the lifting unit (turn it through 90°) so that the locking pin may be pushed into the corresponding slide rail of the lifting mast.
• Push in the lifting unit.
• Now turn it 90° clockwise until a click is heard from the locking screw.
• Check that the arm has been properly locked.
• Hook the hand support on to the mast holder.
• Tighten the tightening handle on the side.

Dismounting

• Brake the rear wheels.
• Loosen the tightening handle.
• Note! Do not unscrew it completely.
• Lift the hand support off the mast holder.
• Note! It may be stuck owing to the clamping plates.
• Pull the locking screw while turning the spreader bar 90° counter-clockwise.
• The lifting unit may now be pulled out

Note! Be aware of the weight of the lifting unit.

Mounting of directional steering of the front wheels

• Dismount the M10x45 countersunk screw with washer and nut keeping the wheel in place.
• Mount plate and holder for steering using the new M10x50 countersunk screw.

Operating the product

NOTE!
It is important that you are familiar with the use of the hoist and its functions, and that it works properly. So for the best possible safety, all users of the hoist must read this user manual before using the hoist.

For the All-in-One you can use any of Ropox Domino slings.

Operating instructions

• Check that the emergency stop has been released. If not, turn the button clockwise until release.
• The hoist is operated by means of the hand control unit. The two upper buttons control the lifting/lowering movement, whereas the two lower buttons control the leg spreading facility. It is not possible to use two functions simultaneously.
• Check that the sling provided is correct for the lifting operation to be performed. This applies to size as well as shape. Further information about the choice of slings will be found in ”Domino Slings User manual”.
• The battery should be recharged regularly, to ensure that the hoist is always available (e.g. every night).

NOTE!
In case of erroneous operation of the hand control unit (e.g. too quick change of direction) the hoist does not react. Let go of the push button – wait a few seconds and press again.

Warning!
The product should always be able to travel the full range of actuation without colliding with objects. Failing to do so will compromise the product stability. Special care should be taken in ensuring that no children or adults are sited under the product as severer injury from entrapment may occur.

Emergency situation
Emergency stop and emergency lowering (electrical and mechanical) should be used in emergencies only. Should it be necessary to activate the emergency functions, contact the distributor before using the hoist again.

Recharging the battery

• The battery must be recharged after approx. 60 lifting operations – i.e. at 50% battery capacity. In case of continued use you will hear an acoustic signal. The battery can still be used, but it will affect is recharging capability.
• We recommend charging as soon as the hoist is not being used for a longer period of time, e.g. every night. The battery cannot be over-charged and it is only ”healthy” for the battery to be recharged often as it increases the battery life.
• Charging is made directly in the control unit by means of the mains cable provided. Insert the cable into the wall outlet and the control unit, see drawing page 12, and switch on power. The hoist cannot be used when connected to mains voltage.
• A green light on the control unit indicates connection to mains voltage. A yellow light indicates that the battery is being recharged.
• When the battery has been fully charged, the yellow light will be out.
• Full recharging takes 4-5 hours.
• If charging is made via a wall-mounted charging station (optional) a battery may be constantly charged in the station. The batteries may be easily switched by means of the snap system on top of the battery box.

NOTE!
Make sure that the plug from the battery is correctly inserted in the control box, if the plug have been pulled out, before using the lift again.

Safety function, liftingmotor
The lifting motor is provided with a safety function, splejn, against jamming. If the lifting arm meets with resistance during lowering, the movement of the arm will stop automatically. Thus, a person cannot get jammed between the lifting arm and the bed.

Safety function, control unit

• protective motor switch for lifting and leg spreading, protecting against overloading
• short-circuit protection
• acoustic signal sounding when the batteries need charging
• electrical emergency lowering if the hand control unit does not work
• built-in charger

WARNING!
Owing to the safety function on the motor the lifting arm and spreader bar may fall freely to the spindle of the motor. Therefore make sure that the lifting arm does not ”hang”, that is has always been pressed down to ensure that it rests on the spindle of the motor before and after all lifting operations. This is important as otherwise an injury may result if the lifting arm ”falls” down.

Emergency stop
If the hoist is to be stopped owing to an emergency – press the red button on the control unit. When the button has been depressed the electrical functions of the hoist cannot be activated and the battery indicator has been switched off.

Emergency lowering
If the hoist is to be lowered and the hand control unit does not work, there are two possible solutions:

• The electrical emergency lowering of the control unit (marked emergency), see drawing page 21. Press with a ball pencil or the like and the person will be lowered slowly.
• The mechanical emergency lowering of the lifting motor. Pull up the red handle, see drawing.

Brakes
The hoist may be braked on the two large rear wheels. Press down the rear part of the brake with the foot to brake the hoist. Release the brake by pressing the front part of the brake with the foot.

NOTE!
Never brake the hoist during lifting except when used in stand-up mode.

Transfer – walking trainer

• Before lifting a person it is important to be familiar with the walking trainer and that it works satisfactorily.
• Also, it is important to choose the right size of sling for the lifting operation to be performed. Further information about the use of slings will be found in the ”Walking Trainer Manual for Slings”.
• We recommend that the walking training take place on a horizontal surface. However, the walking trainer may be used on surfaces with gradients up to 5°.
• Never lift a person higher than necessary.
• Always observe the maximum load of the hoist.

Before lifting a client, try the hoist yourself. Risk assessment shall be carried out to ensure that the correct size, type and shape of slings is being used for the patient.

Lifting from chair/wheelchair

• Place the sling around the client sitting in the chair/wheelchair. Close the body belt and tighten it so that it is still comfortable.
• Place the leg straps between the thighs and pull the lifting straps placed in front of the shoulders through the black loops of the leg straps. Make sure that the four grey lifting straps are in the same height before attaching them to the spreader bar.
• Increase the width between the legs of the hoist and move it towards the client.
• Place the feet of the client on the floor.
• Move the hoist so close to the client as possible.
• Make sure that the spreader bar is in the lower position.
• Place the lifting straps of the sling correctly in the hooks of the spreader bar. Check that all straps have been fitted correctly.
• Lift the client a few centimetres above the seat – STOP – and make sure that the sling is placed correctly.
• When the client is comfortable, lift him/her from the chair to standing position.
• Slowly pull the hoist away from the chair – STOP – adjust the sling and lifting height until the client is standing comfortably.
• You may now start walking training.

NOTE!
The wheelchair must be braked during transfer to and from the chair

Using the walking trainer

• The carer may walk in front of or beside the walking trainer, instructing or supporting the client.
• Raising or lowering the sling frame will relieve the client depending on the phase of walking training.
• Use the hand support to begin with in order to give the client something to hold on to and to use for pushing/steering.
• During the last phase of the walking training the client may use the hand support only without the support of the sling.
• The steering devices of the two front wheels contribute to steering the walking trainer, e.g. when persons with hemiplegia start walking training. ****

Placing in chair/wheelchair
To place a person in a chair/wheelchair, do the procedures on the opposite side in reverse order:

• Increase the width between the legs of the walking trainer and move it to the chair.
• Make sure that the client is positioned correctly above the chair and lower the hoist slowly.
• Check that the client is positioned correctly during the entire operation.
• When assisting a client in getting back into the chair, lower the client so that he/she just touches the chair.
• If the chair can be tilted a little backward it is easier to place the client correctly.
• If two assistants are present, one may press gently on the knees of the client

Height adjustment of hand support
Press red button, afterwards pull locking tap. Hand support can now be pulled upwards or pushed downwards for adjustment of correct height for user.
