6. Mechanical Emergency Down
In the case of a complete electrical failure the electrical actuator is fitted with a mechanical
lowering device (RED BOSS). Dependent on your lift, the device is either pulled upwards, or
twisted by hand to activate. A slow decent will commence. Repeat this process until the patient
has been safely lowered.
CAUTION
Mechanical emergency down is to be used for emergency purposes only. Repeated use may
cause permanent damage to the actuator.
7. Batteries
The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM. This will sound
when the batteries need recharging and the hand control is being operated. It will not sound
independently of the hand control being operated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM.
Complete the lifting operation and place the battery on charge (see charging instructions).
8. Slings
The Hoyer HPL700 has a 6-point spreader bar. The 6-point system uses slings with webbing loops
which allow positioning adjustment by selecting different colored straps.
Loop Strap Slings:
Hoyer Quickfit and Full Back slings.
The 6-point system attaches to the spreader bar hooks via loop straps. Each sling is supplied with
instructions. Please study the instruction guide before use.
NOTE:
For detailed fitting instructions, please refer to the user guide supplied with each sling.
WARNING
Joerns Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly before
use for signs of fraying or damage. DO NOT use slings that are worn or damaged.
WARNING
HOYER RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE HOYER PARTS. Hoyer slings and lifters
are not designed to be interchangeable with other manufacturer’s products. Using other
manufacturer’s products on Hoyer products is potentially unsafe and could result in
serious injury to patient and/or caregiver.
WARNING
Refer to maximum weight capacity of lift. Sling capacity is limited by the maximum
capacity of the lift.
