Moving and Handling
WARNING
– please note:
Care must be exercised when handling/operating/cleaning around any of the slots
or sockets on this product
(see diag. page 1)
to avoid any risk of finger trapping.
Combined handling weight of all modules
–
approximately 2kg
.
Users are advised to follow the Moving and
Handling Policy, Training and Procedures of their own organisation when handling the
ErgoRaiser™.
Carrying option 1:
A handle on the top of the lower module for use when the lower module only is required, or when
the top module is stowed.
An optional shoulder strap for attachment to this handle is also available.
Carrying option 2:
A handhold on the rear aspect of the lower module enables both modules when in ‘High
Configuration’ to be carried securely as a single unit.
Please note:
Before lifting, ensure modules are correctly
stacked.
To minimise moving and handling, store the
ErgoRaiser™
as close as reasonably practicable to the area of use. For
domiciliary visits, take only the required module(s) into the home. As with all low height equipment, care must be
taken in positioning the
ErgoRaiser™
in order to avoid trip hazards.
When used on floors/surfaces that are not slip resistant, slight movement of the module(s) may be experienced; a
DYCEM
anti-slip mat is provided for positioning beneath the module in such situations.
Remove protective film
from both sides of mat before use.
When not in use, the mat can be rolled and stowed inside the top module but must be removed to enable the top
mo
dule to be stacked onto the lower, as for ‘High Configuration’. Wash/clean mat frequently to remove dirt/debris and
optimise anti-slip properties
