How to use the Voyager
Portable
READ "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND
WARNINGS"
BEFORE
ATTEMPTING
TO
USE
THE
VOYAGER LIFT.
Always carry out the daily checklist before
each lift use.
Damage to the lift may occur if
not properly handled. Carry the
VOYAGER PORTABLE by its
handle only. Do not carry the lift
with
the
arm
extension
accessory or other accessory
not intended to be used to carry
the lift.
1. Install the patient sling.
2. Take the battery out of the charger and
insert it into the lift. Make sure the silver
contact points go inside the lift.
3. Once the patient sling is installed, unwind
the strap.
There are two ways to unwind the strap:
First, you can press the
button while
holding tension on the strap with the other
hand (there must be tension on the strap for
the lift to function).
The other way to do this is
to
use
the
"QUICK-
RELEASE"; Push the knob
(1) and pull the strap out of
the lift (2).
Push knob completely over to
ensure the QUICK-RELEASE will
work properly.
QUICK-RELEASE will not work if
there is tension on the strap.
Make sure the strap has some
slack in it before attempting to
slide the knob over.
DO NOT force the knob. It should slide
easily.
4. Attach the round hook to
the trolley in the track.
To help you reach the trolley, use
the arm extension as follows:
Insert the round hook into the loop of the arm
extension #700.08310 (1), then hook it to the
trolley in the track (2).

(2)
5. Move the lift over to the patient.
Hold the lift with one hand at all
times when near a patient.
6. Lower the lift below the chin before
beginning to attach the sling straps (this is
to avoid the risk of facial contact caused by
movement of the lift).
For a patient in a lying position, lower the lift
near the thorax, and then install the straps.
7. Attach the straps of the sling for the sling to
be used.
8. Lift the patient slightly by pressing the
button.
BEFORE LIFTING THE PATIENT:
1. Make sure that all straps are
attached to the carry bar.
2. Make sure the patient's arms
are safely out of the way.
3. Make sure the sling is not
caught on an obstruction
(wheelchair brake or arm of
chair).
If any of the above occurs – lower the
patient immediately and correct the
problem.
