OPERATION

 

General

 

DANGER 

Do not use the LiftMate in an explosive or 
oxygenrich atmosphere. To do so will result in 
an explosion or fire.

 

WARNING 

If the LiftMate malfunctions, immediately 
remove your hand from the controls, press one 
of the “Emergency Stop” buttons, unplug the 
power cord from the electrical receptacle, and 
assist the patient from the unit. If LiftMate 
continues to malfunction, call for service. Do not 
attempt to repair LiftMate yourself.

 

WARNING 

Keep personnel and equipment clear of LiftMate 
before initiating movement to avoid personal 
injury or damage to the equipment.

 

CAUTION 

The hand pendant is moisture resistant and runs 
on low voltage, eliminating shock hazards. 
However, to avoid temporary or permanent 
damage to the hand pendant, do not immerse in 
water or liquids.

 

CAUTION 

Keep foreign objects away from hand pendant. 
To avoid accidental operation, be sure the hand 
pendant is NOT positioned between the LiftMate 
and any other object. Failure to do so could 
result in unwanted motion and possible injury to 
patient or operator, or damage to LiftMate or 
exam table.

 

NOTE: For optimum LiftMate performance, allow the 
unit to reach room temperature before operating. 
NOTE: The LiftMate is not designed for continuous 
operation. 
The control system includes a thermal overload 
safety switch to protect from overheating. If the unit is 
operated continuously causing the control to exceed its 
allowable operating temperature, the thermal overload 
safety switch will shut off. If normal operation ceases, 
do not attempt to operate the unit. Allow the unit to 
cool for 10-15 minutes before attempting to use again. 
The thermal overload switch will automatically reset 
when it has reached a safe operating temperature. 
NOTE: Each control function will automatically stop 
moving when either the UP or DOWN travel limit is 
reached. If the hand pendant is pressed with travel at 
its limit, the actuator will not operate. Sensors prevent 
the actuator motor from operating when travel limit 
has been reached, preventing wear of the actuator.
