Electrical connection is made automatically.
Ensure that the green reset button situated on the
back of the lift cover is pressed in. (see inset to

ArjoHuntleigh
Sara Plus
.
Two types of sling can be used with the
Sara Plus
.
Standing Sling
– a single loop, used for supporting
patients at the toilet, and to aid in the standing
process. The sling has a ‘fleece’ cover for added
comfort, which can be easily removed for cleaning.
Transfer and Walking Sling
– A loop sling with
back, buttock and leg support, used for easy and
comfortable transporting of patients over short
distances without the need for the detachable seat
frame. By using different attachment straps the
same sling can be used for supporting patients
during the training procedure of standing, stepping
and walking under the supervision of trained
nursing staff. The sling has variable adjustment.
Note: The slings have colour coded connection
loops for size identification, as follows:-
Red - Small (S)
Yellow - Medium (M)
Green - Large (L)
Blue - Extra Large (XL)
A circular label is fitted to the central lifting tube
for quick colour to size reference. (see fig 1)
Controls and Features
Hand Control:-
The hand control is attached to the
lift by an extending cable. The handset controls lift
and lower and chassis leg opening/closing.
Direction arrows adjacent to the buttons indicate
each function. (See Fig. 2). If pressure is released
from any button during use, powered movement
will stop immediately.
Dual control panel:-
offers the same controls as
the handset and is conveniently positioned on the
top of the main body of the lift (See Fig. 3).
Emergency stop button (red):-
(see Fig. 1) If, in
an emergency, you have to immediately stop any
powered movement, (other than by releasing
pressure on the button either on the handset or dual
control panel), press the emergency stop button
situated on the side of the cover. (See Fig. 1).
Once the emergency stop button has been operated,
it must be reset by turning the red cap until it pops
back out, before any further powered movement
can be utilised.
