To Reactivate the Ceiling Lift
Push up on both red plungers.
The ceiling lift is ready to use when either the
battery symbol or the
icon appears on the
display.
Emergency Lowering Mechanism
In the unlikely event of an abnormal situation (e.g.
an electrical failure), the emergency lowering
mechanism provides a safe way of getting the
patient down onto a chair, bed or wheelchair.
The emergency lowering mechanism should be
used only in case of an emergency.
Emergency Lowering Procedure
1)
Pull on either one of the emergency stop
cords.
Fig. 8
2)
Open the small doors to gain access to
each ceiling lift's lowering mechanism.
Fig. 9
3)
Pull the 8 mm hex keys from their storage
compartments.
Fig. 10
4)
Insert the hex key deep into the axle. Turn the
hex key counter-clockwise to slowly lower the patient.
Do this for both ceiling lifts. Once the patient is
lowered and secured within a chair, bed or
wheelchair, call a qualified technician to inspect the
ceiling lift.

Emergency Brake
In the unlikely event of an abnormal situation (e.g. a
mechanical failure), the ceiling lifts are equipped with
a brake system that automatically engages to block
the descent. In this situation, the emergency lowering
mechanism will not be functional. It will be necessary
to initiate emergency procedures to release the
patient from the ceiling lift.
WARNING:
If the emergency brake activates,
turn the unit off, apply a warning sign on the lift
to prevent any further usage and call your local
Arjo agent for an inspection.
Battery Information
The batteries for this device are rechargeable lead-
acid batteries. For safe handling and to extend the
battery lifetime, please follow the instructions found in
this manual. Not following these instructions can
cause short battery life and may, in extreme cases,
put the user at risk.
Battery life depends on many factors. These are:
frequency of use, frequency of charging, temperature
of operation, storage and storage time.
Using lead-acid batteries below 5% charge can
damage the battery resulting in shorter battery life.
The 5% charge is indicated by the critical battery
level symbol flashing on the display. At this time,
the ceiling lift will allow only the down function.
Make sure to recharge the batteries as soon as
possible. Let the batteries recharge for a complete
charging cycle.
