The user: the person using the device, eg. the caregiver, a family member, the wheelchair user,...
■
The person responsible: the person who is responsible for the correct use and maintenance of the device.
Before using the ceiling motor, make sure that:
■
The user has been given appropriate instruction and training.
■
These instructions for use have been carefully read and understood by the user and the person responsible.
■
The use of the emergency stop and emergency down have been explained and demonstrated to the user and the
person responsible.
■
The caregiver at all times pays enough attention to the lifted person and his/her surrounding (enough space so
he/she does not hit furniture, for example).
■
The device is only used with Handi-Move items/accessories or items/accessories approved by Handi-Move.
■
The ceiling motor is only used to lift people.
■
The cords of the emergency stop and the emergency down are cut to the correct length for this user.
■
You do not use the lift in case of malfunction (see '8. Inspection before each use' p.16). Contact your local
Handi-Move distributor for repairs.
■
If there is electromagnetic interference between the ceiling motor and another device, the two devices are not
used together. (e.g. TV remote controls, flat screen TV’s, radio, cellphones, certain fluorescent lights,...)
■
The service temperature is between -10°C (14° F) and 40°C (104° F). The air humidity is between 30% and
70%.
■
You take into account the statutory provisions when the ceiling motor is being used in a damp environment.
■
The lift does not come into contact with water drops. When you are using it close to a shower, bath or wash
basin, make sure to remove it immediately and store it in a dry area.
■
If using the ceiling motor independently, the user is equipped with an appropriate emergency call system (e.g.
a mobile phone,…)
■
When used in the swimmingpool/bathtub, a supervisory person is present to ensure the safety of the user.
■
Users weighing less than 32 kilograms only use the system independently under supervision, because the me-
chanical emergency down will not work.
