8. Lift until the patient's buttock
clears the arm supports or the
top of the bath or bed before
moving the patient. Guide the
legs past any obstacle.
9. When the patient is located
above the desired point of
transfer and ready to be
lowered, press the
button.
10. Use the handles on the back of the sling to
position the patient when transferring into a
chair. Hold the handles firmly as the sling
lowers and the sling will tilt back to position
the patient.
11. Once the patient is properly seated and the
straps are loose, remove the sling from the
lift.
Hold the lift with one hand at all
times when near a patient.
12. Slide the lift away from the patient.
13. Unhook the lift from the
trolley in the rail and use
the "QUICK RELEASE" to
shorten the strap. To do
so, push the knob (1) and
hold the strap while it
winds itself into the lift.
Push knob completely over to
ensure the "QUICK-RELEASE"
will work properly.
"QUICK-RELEASE" will not work
if there is tension on the strap.
Make sure the strap has some
slack in it before attempting to
slide the knob over.
DO NOT force the knob. It should slide
easily.
When
using
the
"QUICK-
RELEASE" hold the strap in your
hand and release the knob (1)
only when the strap is not going
in motion. This will prevent wear
of the internal components.
15. Sling may be removed from around the
patient.
4.2 Emergency Lowering
Feature
The Voyager Portable has an emergency
manual-lowering feature in the event of an
electrical or functional failure.
If the lift malfunctions when a patient is being
transferred, the emergency manual lowering
device provides a safe way of lowering the
patient onto a chair or bed.
To operate the emergency lowering feature:
1. Find the rubber stopper and label on the side
of the lift.
2. Pull the rubber stopper out of the Voyager
Portable casing – DO NOT DISCARD.
3. Move the patient over a bed or chair.
4. Using the Allen key provided with this
manual, turn the key clockwise to lower the
patient into the chair. As the key turns the
motor directly, each key turn will move the
patient slightly.
To lower the patient more quickly, use a
power drill with a 4 mm Allen key bit.
