USE INTENDED

Use Expected

• The daily use of the device is authorized only provided that all security elements and functional parts are efficient.
• The lift is intended to lift and transfer disabled people from the bed to the wheelchair and vice versa; could not be used to transport the person from room to room.

Prohibition of Use

• It cannot be used for lifting things other than people
• It cannot be used if the person’s weight exceeds the maximum permissible load (150 kg)
• It cannot be used if the size or pathology of the subject to be lifted is not well secured by the harness supplied. If in doubt contact the manufacturer or his representative.

• Risk of entangling clothing if it falls and reaches the bottom of the aid.
• Risk of falling of the transporter if all the necessary precautions are not taken to conduct the vehicle and upright and stable posture.

USE

Before daily use of the device, always check the status and overall efficiency of the aid and battery charge.

Battery charge

The control unit presents the “female” socket for the battery charging on the battery chassis at the area circled in yellow

Charging indications

• The battery must be charged using only the supplied cables.
• The use of extensions, adapters or other devices is to be avoided.
• The battery’s charging status is directly visible on the control unit
• Batteries do not require maintenance.
• Connect the connector to the socket on the machine.
• Connect the charger plug to the electrical network
• Charging the battery from the reserve or fully discharged state takes about 1.5 hours.

Safety ring functionality

In the face of potential malfunctions of the electrical group of the machine, or critical situations, such as unexpected shutdowns due to a low battery, it is possible to adjust the height of the lifting arm and consequently of its barbell, simply by acting on the appropriate safety ring located at the end of the linear actuator.

OPERATING MODE OF THE RING SYSTEM:
Faced with potential malfunctions of the electrical group of the machine, or critical situations such as unexpected stops due to a low battery, it is possible to adjust the height of the lifting arm and consequently of its rocker, simply by acting on the appropriate safety ring placed at the end of the linear actuator.

The red knob (a) located at the top of the actuator can be manually moved downwards by passing it from the position of fig. 1 to that of fig. 2, at this point it is possible to rotate it manually thus activating the manual ascent or descent of the lifting arm, the lift is also equipped with safety against accidental crushing due to the arm of the device, in practice, if the lifting arm encounters during its motorized movement downwards an obstacle in order to avoid causing damage to people or things automatically, it will move to the position referred to in figure 2 and will always automatically cease the downward thrust (the actuator motor even if the control button was pressed for the downward movement will work empty)

Use of Slings

For the use of the harness refer to the following procedure:

• Apply the harness (1) to the patient or disabled person. ( the drawings below are purely indicative of the application to lying patient or sitting patient )

• Lower the lift arm until it reaches the desired level.

• Attach the harness ( 1) to the harness support barbell hooks (2) and lift the patient.
  Before lifting, adapt the harness (1) to the needs of the patient, appropriately choosing the buttonholes (3) identified by different colors for each of them to be attached to the hooks.
  A different color scheme of the attachment ring between the head side and the leg side of the harness will result in a different inclination and position of the patient when lifted.
  

Open the lift base
The spread of the base of the lift is done by means of a special pedal system placed in the back, press the pedal (A) to open, press the pedal (B) to close.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The lifter needs ordinary maintenance like any other product, in order to keep it in perfect condition efficiency, even after years of use.
