The amount of drag on the lift can be
adjusted with the friction brake on the
carriage. Turn the brake clockwise for
increased resistance and counter clockwise
for reduced resistance.

Electrical Emergency Lowering
In the event that the hand control or electronics malfunction, the lift
can be lowered by pressing the button on the end cover of the lift unit.
The arrow corresponds to the direction of travel when the lift is
mounted with the lift strap above the lift unit.
Ensure the patient is lowered into a bed, wheelchair or other suitable place.
Mechanical Emergency Lowering
Press the button marked “Emergency” on
the end cover of the lift unit. Note that load
must be applied to the lift in order for the
mechanical emergency lowering to work.
Ensure the patient is lowered into a bed,
wheelchair or other suitable place.
SSP Limit Switch
It is important that the lifting motion of the lift strap is performed as
vertically as possible to ensure safe operation. The SSP Limit Switch
is intended to stop the lifting motion if the lift strap is subjected
to harmful strain, for example, if it is pulled sideways or folded
over during the lifting motion. The SSP Limit Switch also provides
protection against pinching. If the SSP Limit Switch has been
activated and the lifting motion stopped, the lift strap must first be
operated downwards before it can be operated upwards again.
Charge Indicator
Two indicators will warn when the battery has a
low charge:
• buzzer that sounds when lifting
• LED that is lit during lifting.
When either of these signals sounds or illuminates,
the unit should be charged as soon as possible. See
“Charging the Batteries” below.

Reset the emergency stop
: turn the button in the direction indicated
by the arrows on the button.
The red button on the lift unit end cover is intended for use in an
emergency situation. When the button is pressed, contact between
the motor and power source is broken, which stops the lifting motion.
