LF1041 ONLY: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Emergency stop:
The control box is equipped with a red
emergency stop button
. This button, also known as the
control box power switch, is to be used in the event the hand
control pendant ceases to function correctly. To engage, hit
the button firmly with the palm of your hand. The button will
lock in the depressed position, stopping all motor function.
To disengage, turn the button clockwise; it will pop out and
return to the ON position.
Emergency lowering:
The motor is equipped with an
emergency release
, which is located on top of the motor
as shown in the picture at right. To engage, pull up on the
release, which will disengage the gearing in the cylinder, and
lower the patient. The emergency release is adjustable by
turning the screw adjacent to the pull stem. Turn the screw
clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the
sensitivity of the release mechanism.
WARNING: Use caution when using the emergency
release. Pull back slowly on the release, which will
gradually lower the patient. Pulling back too quickly
could cause the patient to be lowered too rapidly,
which could result in serious personal injury. Do
not, under any circumstances, use the emergency
release for lowering the patient when the hand control
pendant and battery are operating correctly. The
emergency release should not be used in lieu of the
hand control pendant and battery.
