RANGER-AT
TM
LIFT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE
:
CHECK ALL NUTS & BOLTS FOR TIGHTNESS AND FOR
WORN PARTS BEFORE EACH USE. NEVER OPERATE THE LIFT
WITH THE ARMRESTS FLIPPED UP.
The RANGER-AT
TM
lift should always be in the full up or deck position before a user
attempts to transfer into the chair. Before attempting to transfer into the chair, check to
make sure the lift is operating by making a short test run: move the chair at least part way
in and out of the pool.
As you are standing in front of the chair, facing the chair, the armrest on either side will
flip up to allow for easier lateral transfers. Transfer into the chair and then lower the flip-
up armrest back into its normal position. Secure the adjustable lap belt around the waist
so that the belt is snug, but not uncomfortably tight.
You are now seated comfortably in the RANGER-AT
TM
lift, and ready to move into the
pool or spa. Before you begin the operating cycle, take a visual check of the deck area
and pool area to make sure the operating path of the lift is clear.
It is not necessary to lower the lift all the way to the bottom of the lift’s stroke. You may
stop the lift at any time in the downward cycle once the chair is under water and it is
comfortable for you to exit the chair into the water.
This is NOT true however, when returning to the deck during the up cycle. The lift
should always be cycled completely to the up or deck position before attempting to exit
the chair on the deck.
To lower the lift into the pool, simply apply pressure on the down arrow button on the
remote control handset and the chair will start to move towards the pool. NOTE: for
safety reasons, it is necessary to maintain continuous pressure on the control button. If
you take your finger off of the control button the lift will stop.
When you are sufficiently submerged into the water to allow for an easy exit from the
chair, you may stop the lift cycle by releasing pressure on the down arrow button on the
remote control handset. Now release the lap belt by grasping the end of the belt that is
protruding above the lap belt and tugging gently. You may now flip up the footrest to
create more room in front of the chair for you to exit. Exit the chair by sliding straight
forward until you are clear of the seat and the footrest.
When you are ready to return to the lift seat and exit the pool or spa, make sure that the chair is lowered
(submerged) sufficiently to allow you to easily slide into the chair. You should not attempt to “lift” or raise
yourself into the chair. Once you are reseated into the chair, you may lower the footrest to it normal
operating position and place your feet on the footrest. Next, re-secure the adjustable lap belt snugly around
your waist. To raise the chair out of the pool, simply press on the up arrow button on the remote control
handset and apply continuous pressure until the lift chair comes to a rest on the deck in the full up position.
You may now release the lap belt and exit the chair.
