3. To reconnect the seat to the base, lower the seat with the hand control or winding handle back
onto the wheeled base with the lower safety latch in approximately the right position. The seat
will lock automatically as it is lowered. When the seat latch on the base is engaged, disengage
the latch on the chair support arm and continue to lower. The support arm will drop away from
the seat and can be swung away to one side. Check full engagement of the seat latch. The
patient can now be transported to another location.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the seat is fully secured to the transporter, it is important to ensure the
upper safety latch is completely disengaged. Damage to the rear castors will occur if the bath lift
continues to be lowered with this latch engaged or partially engaged.
The safety locking system has been designed to be very visible and very obvious in operation -
double check the latches have engaged or disengaged correctly.
NOTE: Joerns Healthcare Ltd recommend a few “dry runs” without the patient in place, to familiarise
users with the operation of the transporter chair and bath lift.
Emergency Raise: (Electric Variants Only)
This facility will raise the seat should the lift fail to rise with the hand control. It is for emergency use
only and should not be used for routine raising. The switch is located on the power unit cover.

WARNING
• Oxford patient lifts should only be operated by fully trained/competent care givers.
• It is required to conduct a thorough risk assessment to determine the suitability of this product for
each patient prior to use. Failure to do this may result in injury to the patient and/or care-giver.
• ALWAYS plan your lifting operation before commencing.
• ALWAYS carry out the DAILY CHECK LIST before using the lift.
• ALWAYS familiarise yourself with the operating controls and safety features of a lift before lifting a patient.
• ALWAYS check the safe working load of the lift is suitable for the weight of the patient.
• ALWAYS carry out lifting operations according to the instructions in the user manual.
• NEVER disconnect or bypass a control or safety feature because it seems easier to operate the lift.
• NEVER force an operating or safety control. All controls are easy to use and do not require
excessive force to operate. If a control is not working easily there will be a reason. Forcing will
only strain or damage the lift and may compromise safety.
• DO NOT charge an electric hoist in a bathroom or shower room.
• DO NOT lift a patient unless you are trained and competent to do so.
• YOUR lift is for patient lifting. DO NOT use it, or allow it to be used, for any other purpose.
