SWAPPING A PRACTIKA INTO A STANDUP AND 

VICE VERSA

Theres is an option to turn our Practika hoist into a Stand up hoist and 
vice versa. To do so you may have to purchase an extra product as it 
is not a standard option.

ARM SWAP

• 

Using the knob system, dismantle the arm that is installed on the 
hoist and place the other arm and each component as shown 
below.

• 

Advise with your provider before going through this change as a 
bad assembly may result in a bad performance of the product.

• 

Once every piece is in place, tighten up the knobs until they are 
locked.

• 

When the knobs are locked, with the motor unplugged, the arm 
should be loose and easily moved with your hands.

• 

Check daily the adjustment of the knobs.

Do not modify the sequence of the assembly
