INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT
WARNING: DO NOT manually lift the
boom of the lifters.
How to Use Correctly:
The boom of the lifter is designed to be
lifted only by an electric actuator.
Aidacare Lifters and Standers do not
pull downwards during lowering. This
safety spline feature is designed to avoid
entrapment and crush injuries.
This safety feature means that it is
physically possible to raise the lifter
boom by hand on some models with
LA31 actuators fitted.
NEVER
raise the lifter boom by hand or
any other means except under direct
drive from the electric actuator fitted to
the lifter.
Raising the boom can cause it to become
stuck in an elevated position. Under load
this can result in patient free fall and risk
catastrophic injury to the patient and/or
carer.
ALWAYS
use the handset or control unit
buttons to raise and lower the boom of
the lifter. This will ensure correct and safe
functioning at all times.
