5) Hang the electrical box-system on the inner side of the handle.
6) Please press the red emergency button on the electrical box before connecting motor and box. The
emergency button disconnects all electrical contact. You then can connect the motor’s connection cable to
the 2 pin plug on the underside of the electrical box. The control device is connected to the plug on the
back of the electrical box using the 3 pin plug. Release the emergency button. Leg spreading (electric) –
connect the 8 pin plug to the corresponding socket underneath the electrical box.
8) Ensure that the emergency button is in the extended position. If not, give the button a quarter turn
clockwise until it reaches the extended position.
1.4 Purpose
The Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 is designed to lift persons in nursing care and with at least one instructed
carer or supervisor. The load capacity is 150 kg.
Never ever
use the hoist/lift for other purposes than
originally intended.
1.5 Use
The hoist/lift should mainly be used in the following situations:
1. Lifting the user from a bed to a wheel chair/chair situated immediately beside the bed.
2. Lifting from a wheel chair to toilet/toilet seat situated in the immediate proximity.
3. Lifting from a wheel chair to a chair situated in the immediate proximity.
Use only the slings exclusively recommended.
1.6 General remarks concerning use
The hoist/lift is easy to operate. However, before use, please read the following instructions carefully:
1. The legs of the chassis can be spread with the foot pedal or alternatively with the control device for
electrical leg spreading models.
2. The control device enables easy handling. Just press gently on the button “up” or “down”. Electrical
leg spreading model – Press gently on the corresponding buttons.
3. Always ensure that the user feels safe and is not frightened. Wherever possible ensure close contact
with the user.
4. Pressing the
red emergency button
immediately stops the hoist’s/lift’s function. By turning a 1/4-turn
clockwise the button extends and the hoist/lift is again ready for use.
5. The hoist/lift does not excert downward pressure other than the weight of the user and arm combined.
This safety feature fitted to the spindle is called “spline” and reduces the danger of accidental squeezing.
In very extreme circumstances the spline system may have been activated and can result
in the lifting arm falling into place. Whilst this does not compromise safety it can be disturbing if a client is
being lifted and then suddenly falls into place. We recommend that the lift/hoist is operated for a short
distance before using with a client, to ensure that the spline system is in place.
6. The Pallas 2000 has an
electronic button
placed underneath the electrical box making an emergency
lowering possible, in case the control device is defect. The Pallas 5000 has clearly marked emergency
points (lowering/raising) on the electrical box.
7. Please charge batteries regularly - we recommend every night - and ensure that the emergency button
is in the extended position. Do not wait between two charging processes until the light diode (lamp)
shows 50% discharge. The batteries do not have any “memory effect”. Their lifetime can be critically
reduced if allowed to go flat before recharging.
