Use the System failure lower override (2 steps)
1.
To operate the lower override, turn the knob anti
clockwise half a turn. (See Fig. 5)
2.
To cease lowering turn the knob clockwise until
finger tight only (do not over tighten).
Only use this knob in the event of normal control failure.
Do not use it for normal function lowering.
The lower override will operate whether the emergency
stop button has been operated or not. The “automatic
stop function” of the jib will still operate when using the
lower override knob.
When using the
Sara Plus
normally, always make sure
the system failure lower override knob is always turned
fully clockwise and finger tight.
Battery discharge indicator:-
There is a small battery
symbol on the bottom of the LCD. The battery symbol
shows the level of battery charge.
Hour/cycle meter:-
The upper line of the display shows
the total duration of lifting and lowering operation in
hours. The display can also show the number of cycles
by pressing the raise and lowering buttons at the same
time. This is intended as an aid to help calculating the
service intervals.
Chassis castor Brakes:-
The chassis rear castors have
brakes which can be foot operated if required for
example, when leaving the patient unattended, or to keep
the
Sara Plus
in position. (See Fig 6)
Straight line steering function :-
When using the
Sara
Plus
for walking practice it may be considered useful to
fix one of the castors to steer in a straight line. This has
the effect of allowing the
Sara Plus
, without caregiver
assistance to follow the intended straight line walked by
the patient. The function is activated by flipping over the
steering guide on the rear castor to hold it in position.
(See Fig 6)
Arc-Rest (with handgrips):-
Integral Part of the Lifting
mechanism of the lift, the intuitive and supportive
armrests allow patient participation and comfort during
the lifting procedure.
Foot support:-
For positioning the patient’s feet when
lifting and transporting. The Foot Support can be
removed if using the
Sara Plus
to lift a patient to their
feet prior to them using a walking aid.

comes into contact with the foot support bracket.
4.
Pivot the rear of the foot support upwards until the
foot support is horizontal.
5.
Pull the foot support towards yourself until it is
clear of the support bracket. (See Fig 7)
6.

override to lower a patient, always make
sure that a chair or suitable support is
underneath ready to accept the patient.
