Leg adjustment
The legs on the Drive Devilbiss Healthcare Levantar or Gravis lifts are available with either
powered or manually adjustable for width. The legs can be opened to enable access around
armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiation narrow doorways and passages the lift
legs should be in the closed position.
Electric leg adjustment is achievable by pressing the appropriate buttons on the hand set. The
legs will be locked automatically whenever the hand control switch is released.
Manual leg adjustment, legs width will be engaged by operating width control handle.
➢
Castors and Braking
The lift has two braked castors which can be applied for parking. When lifting, DO NOT lock the
castors, the castors should be left free and un-braked. The lift will then be able to move to the
center of gravity of the lift. If the brakes are applied, it is possible that the patient will swing to the
center of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable, or the lift may tilt over and
cause injury to patient.
➢ Raising and lowering the boom
The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator, which is controlled by a
simple hand set unit. The hand set has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN. The
actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The hand control plugs into a
socket at the base of the control box. There is a hook on the back of the hand control, which
allows it to be hanged on the mast or boom when not in use.
