Lifting and Repositioning
C-HLA-2 Lift
Assembly
Recommended Tools: two 9/16" wrenches, 1/8" hex
wrench, 5mm hex wrench
Warning:
Inside center attachment points on cradle
are used only for Hoyer slings with chains or straps.
The four outside attachment points are used for Hoyer
4-point slings.
Warning:
The large thrust washer must be inserted
on the cradle hanger post (Figure 7, pg 6). If washer is
not present, the cradle hanger post and cradle center
may wear prematurely. Worn cradle parts could fail,
resulting in injury to resident/caregiver. Hanger post
should protrude from the cradle center by 1/16th inch.
Warning:
Never lock wheel locks or block wheels
when lifting someone. Wheel locks are provided for
parking the lifter only. The only exception is when
lifting a patient from the floor - the locks should be
engaged during a floor lift.
1. Carefully unpack Hoyer Lifter. Check for swivel
bar/6-point cradle and adjusting lever handle.
2. Insert mast in base sleeve (Figure 1). Be sure
notch on end of mast fits over bolt in bottom of
mast sleeve. Mast must lock into position in base
sleeve, making it impossible to rotate. Check
carefully to be certain mast cannot rotate.
3. Make certain boom points in same direction as
base legs. Thread mast safety lock and stud
into threaded hole in mast sleeve. Tighten firmly,
locking mast into base (Figure 2). Keep mast and
base locked at all times except when removing
mast from base for storage.
4. Insert boom end into hole in yoke hinge at the top
of mast. Fasten bolt and nut (Figure 3). Be certain
hex of bolt head fits into formed hex on side of
hinge and that plastic washer is under lock nut.
5. Attach hydraulic pump to boom (Figure 4).
