Activating a Mechanical Emergency Release
Primary Emergency Release
To activate the primary emergency release, insert a pen into the hole
labeled “emergency” on the control box of the lift and push down on the
boom at the same time.
All lift actuators are equipped with a mechanical Emergency release. The
mechanical release will enable the actuator to retract without power.
The actuator will only retract while under load and the mechanical
Emergency release is pulled. The release is colored reddish orange with
the word Emergency spelled out in white.
WARNING
Invacare does not recommend locking of the rear casters
of the patient lift when lifting an individual. Doing so could
cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants.
Invacare does recommend that the rear casters be left
unlocked during lifting procedures to allow the patient lift
to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a
chair, bed or any stationary object.
