Safety precautions (continued…)
•
The installation of the hoist, track, accessories, and sling are certified to
a maximum load. Do not exceed the maximum rated load of any of the
components,
•
There is a risk of explosion if the hoist is used in the presence of
flammable anaesthetic’s.
•
Ensure that a clear space is maintained around the hoist and track. Move
all curtain material and other obstacles out of the way before
performing a transfer.
•
Your hoist is for patient lifting. Do not use it, or allow it to be used, for
any other purpose.
•
In areas where children are prone to be present, when the hoist system
is not in use and to reduce the risk of unintended use, please remove the
sling from the hoist system to prevent any issues of entrapment or
strangulation should the device be “played with”
Lift tape caution
The image opposite indicates a badly worn lift tape
due to a culmination of events that the hoist has
operated under.
Whilst a tape in this condition provides no
immediate danger, the use of the device should be
suspended at this point, or prior to this point
should the user become aware of the tape
degrading, through due diligence by the operator
until a service agent can replace the damaged tape.
This is severe wear. Any damage leading up to this
point should prompt the operator of the device to
cease use and seek a replacement.
