TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Your hand control needs to be replaced as it is at the end of its life cycle
If there is a problem you cannot correct, please contact the dealer for assistance.
In case there is a failure with the actuator or electronics and the user is left
suspended in mid-air, please follow the procedures below to safely lower
the user to a safer position.
The Quick Release is implemented by a spring-loaded lever mounted at
the top end collar of the actuator shaft. DO NOT attempt to turn the Quick
Release mechanism like a knob. This will damage the Quick Release
mechanism and actuator. Manually activate Quick Release by pulling the
RED lever with the arrow symbol in the direction indicated by the arrow
towards the opposite red tab. This will de-clutch the actuator and lower the
user safely down.
Note: When the Quick Release is activated, the boom will not lower itself
unless there is weight or force applied in the downward direction.
Contact your dealer immediately if standard troubleshooting techniques do
not correct the failure. Do not attempt to lift until all failure and safety issues
have been resolved.
NOTE: THE EMERGENCY LOWERING DEVICE IS INTENDED FOR USE
DURING LIFT FAILURE. THIS DEVICE WILL ALLOW LOWERING OF
PATIENTS ONLY. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY IN
