Safety Instructions
8
•
While the base of the lift can be opened
to ease transfer of a patient, it should be
kept closed between transfer points.
•
Do not put fingers, hands or feet where
space is limited (see image below). This
could pinch, cut, or seriously harm body
parts. This includes spaces between the
lift base and floor (1), between actuator
cab and mast tubing (2), between
spreader bar block and boom tubing (3),
and between legs and the base while
closing the legs (4).
CAUTION: Keep all components of the lift
clean and dry, and have electrical and
mechanical safety checkpoints performed as
instructed in the “Disinfection, Cleaning and
Maintenance” section of this manual.
WARNING:
Do not overload the Ergolift 2
beyond the approved lifting capacity of the
lowest rated attachment/accessory. If the
maximum load differs between floor lift,
spreader bar and body support unit (i.e.
sling), then the lowest maximum load must
always be used.
Important Safety Directions
Always ensure that:
•
The equipment is used by trained staff.
•
Violent impact during transfers is
avoided.
•
Non compatible slings are not used with
the lift.
•
The sling is intended to be used for this
lift and can take the weight of the
resident.
•
The lifting procedures are followed.
•
All controls and safety features are used
only according to the rules specified in
this manual. Never attempt to force a
control or button on the lift.
•
The lift is not stored in a shower, bath or
other areas with high humidity.
Shock Prevention
•
Do not touch or use a lift with bare
conductors or a damaged power cord.
Electrically live equipment can result in
serious injuries. If the lift or charger has
any exposed or damaged wires, contact
your local BHM Medical representative
immediately.
•
Do not splash or expose electric parts of
the device to water or moisture.
•
Check nameplate for input voltage and
frequency requirements. These
requirements differ by country. Do not
attempt to use the lift in an area that has
a different voltage and frequency
requirement.
•
Do not attempt to expose, service or
repair the lift, battery or charger. If any
unit is malfunctioning, contact your local
BHM Medical representative.
