Operation:
Ensure that any users are thoroughly familiar with the correct
operation of the FTS-600
before
they use it to lift themselves or someone else.
Moving the HFL-FTS
Any able-bodied staff or provider can move the FTS around the care environment.
The person
moving the FTS s
tands behind the lift and places one foot on the stainless-steel motor cover plate at
the rear of the unit and then gently tilts the FTS rearward by pulling the handles toward them. They
can now pull or push to FTS to the required location.
Preparing to move the FTS
Typical operation for day-to-day use is to position the seat platform for the primary function. If the
primary function is as a standing lift in an imaging department or an exam room, the seat platform
would be stored with the seat platform positioned at the floor level. If the primary use is at the
nursing station for patient management, the seat platform would be stored at a seated height
between 14 and 20 inches from the ground
Raising or lowering the lift height to match the height of the user provides a more comfortable
transport if desired. It is also practical, in many cases, to pull the FTS from behind allowing the
operator the ability to open doors and traverse thresholds and other impediments to smooth travel.
As you stop at the desired location, ensure there are no foreign objects beneath the
seat
before
lowering the seat or tilting the unit back to the upright position to avoid minor or serious injury.
Functional Overview
The FTS provides seated-lift, standing-lift and patient transport functionality. This manual covers the
standing-lift function and three separate seated-lift scenarios: Transfer to Stand; Floor to Transfer; Floor
to Stand and patient transport operation. Each of these can be performed by a single provider without
secondary assistance as determined, or deemed necessary, by the situational requirements.
