Leg Adjustment:
The legs of the A-205 hoist are electrically adjustable for opening, and closing base width. The legs can be
opened to enable access around arm chairs or wheel chairs. For transferring through narrow doorways, and
passages the hoist legs should be in closed position.
Leg adjustment is achieved by pressing appropriate buttons on the hand control. The legs’ motion will be
stopped whenever the hand control button is released.
Raising and Lowering the Boom:
The up and down movement of boom on A-205 hoist is achieved by a powerful electric actuator which is
controlled by hand control. The hand control has two button with directional arrows UP and DOWN.
The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions.
Castors and Braking:
The A-205 hoist has two rear castors with brake. The rear castors can be braked for rotation, lateral movement,
and parking. To apply the brake, press the brake pedal down with your foot. To release the brake, press the
raised pedal towards the wheel.
During the lifting, the rear wheels should remain unlocked so that the hoist will move to the patient’s centre of
gravity. The wheels should, however, be locked if there is a risk of hoist moving to the patient. For example,
when lifting the patient from the floor.
Locked wheels during lifting will increases the risk of the hoist tilting over.
Application:
If the hoist is used incorrectly any warranty or product liability might cease to be valid.
The mobile hoist must only be used for person lifting and only for persons who, including the sling, do not
weigh more than the stated max. weight load. If the load exceeds the stated weight limit and if the hoist is used
for lifting anything but persons, then any product liability that Prism Medical UK might have, in connection
with insurance / warranty / maintenance etc., will cease to be valid.
To avoid possible accidents and injury to persons being lifted, the mobile hoists must only be operated as
described in the preceding pages.
