The device contains electronic parts, therefore only CO
2
extinguishers are to be used in
the event of fire.
Possible emergency situations
Recommended steps
Batteries discharge while a
movement is in progress.
-
Assume the safety position as indicated above,
lowering the actuator using the emergency
mechanism
-
Change the batteries
-
If a battery pack is not available, ask for assistance
Generic fault during transfer.
Proceeding is not possible.
-
Put the device in the safety position
-
Ask for assistance
The person being transferred feels
unwell or nauseous.
-
Stop the device immediately and provide medical care
or help
-
If necessary, put the device in the safety position
-
If necessary, ask for assistance

Residual risks
The residual risks of the patient lifter are considered acceptable and not reducible further while
maintaining device performance.
Mainly:
1.
risk of overturning due to the longitudinal and lateral forces acting on the patient.
Description: lateral or longitudinal forces can make the patient swing once lifted,
potentially destabilising the device.
Reduction measures: procedural, transfer the patient without any brusque
movement and avoiding swinging actions of the suspended mass in any direction.
Operator information/training.
2.
mechanical risk
Description: crushing, shearing, collision with moving mechanical parts.
Reduction measures: information/training: check that the label as indicated in the
relevant paragraph is affixed, inform/train the operators.

Charging the batteries
The batteries must be charged when the device is empty (no person on the device) and
using only the battery charger provided.
The electrical system which the power cable is plugged into must have an efficient earthing
system and be sufficiently protected in accordance with applicable laws. Avoid using
extension cables, adaptor or other such devices.
To charge the battery pack, only use the battery charger provided.
DEWERT Drive
The models with the DEWERT drive have 3 LEDs located on the
control unit (see the figure to the side). These LEDs show
different colours depending on the state of charge detected
when the lifting/lowering operations are carried out.
The LED is green when the battery is fully charged, yellow when
the charge is approximately 50% and red when the battery needs to be charged.
When the LED is red, the device must not be used and the battery must be charged immediately.
This is to prevent any deep discharging which could irreparably damage the battery and to prevent
the battery from discharging fully while a patient is being transferred, with the subsequent condition
of risk.
To charge the battery, first remove it by holding it at the top, then press the red tab which will be
below your finger and extract it with an upwards movement.
At this point, the battery charger connector is to be connected to
the socket at the bottom of the extracted battery.
Some versions may have an external adapter (figure to the side)
which allows the battery charger to be connected without having
to remove the battery.
A full charge requires approx. 8–10 hours.
