SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The Protekt® 600 Power Patient Lift 33600 reflects innovative state of the art design to increase user mobility.
• The Protekt® 600 Lift will provide years of service if it is properly maintained as any piece of electrical/mechanical equipment requires.
  Please pay careful attention to the following important information regarding the care, maintenance, and operation of the Protekt® 600 Lift. Carefully read these instructions before assembling the lifter, or attempting to lift any user with the device.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

• Special care must be taken with users/patients who cannot themselves provide assistance while being lifted. (i.e. patients who are comatose, spastic, agitated, or otherwise severely handicapped.)
• The Protekt® 600 Lift should be used solely for transferring a user/patient from one utility (beds, bathtubs, toilets, etc.) to another. The patient lift should not be used for transporting or moving any patient from one location to another location.
• During lifting or lowering, whenever possible, always keep the base of the lift in the widest position.
• The base of the lift should be closed before moving the lift.
• Do not roll casters over any object while the user/patient is in the sling.
• While being lifted in a sling, always keep the user/patient centered over the base and facing the caregiver operating the lifter.
• Maximum weight that can be safely lifted is 600 lbs.
• The Protekt® 600 Lift allows a person to be lifted and transferred safely with minimum physical effort provided by the caregiver. Before attempting, practice operating the lift. Also prior to actual lifting, explain the lifting procedure to the user/patient.

WARNING!
Do not attempt to transfer a patient without prior approval of the patient’s nurse. Also, do not transfer without having studied the instructions and practiced operating the product several times. Together with the patient’s doctor, nurse, or medical attendant, select a Proactive Medical Products sling that is both practical and comfortable. The sling selected should be one that serves the needs of the patient, while providing the patient with optimal safety. Never interfere with the lift, unless instructed by the attendant. Have a doctor, nurse, or medical attendant present during the first few times the lift is used to transfer a new user.

WARNING!
Proactive Medical slings are specially designed to be used in conjunction with Proactive lifts. Do not use slings manufactured by other companies with any of Proactive Medical’s equipment. USING OTHER MANUFACTURER’S SLINGS ON THIS EQUIPMENT IS UNSAFE AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO USERS AND CAREGIVERS. PROACTIVE MEDICAL is not responsible for any consequence resulting from the use of non-Proactive slings on this equipment.

WARNING!
Do not put anything (e.g. cushion, pad, etc.) between the user and the sling. This may cause the user/patient to slide out of the sling and cause injury.

WARNING!
Avoid personal injury by making sure no children or pets are near the Protekt® 600 Lift while it is in motion.

WARNING!
Avoid personal injury by making sure all extremities (such as fingers, arms, legs, or feet) are clear of the lift mechanism while it is in operation.

WARNING!
Avoid personal injury and possible damage to the Protekt® 600 Lift by making sure the maximum weight limit of 600 lbs. is not exceeded.

WARNING!
Replace any worn parts with only genuine Proactive Medical parts. The patient lift parts are not interchangeable with parts from other patient lift brands. Using other patient lift parts on these products is unsafe and may result in serious injury to user and caregiver. Proactive Medical is not responsible for any consequence resulting from the use of non-Proactive parts and components.

WARNING!
Avoid personal injury by making sure the electrical connector is disconnected before conducting any electrical inspection. Contact your dealer if any electrical problem is detected.
