Mechanical Emergency Lowering
Emergency lower by moving the
handle up and down. Repeat the
motion until the patient being lifted
is
on a firm surface; draw down the sling
bar manually and continue to pump
the handle until the sling bar is low
enough to enable the sling’s strap
loops to be unhooked.
Adjustment of the lift interval level
If it is necessary to reach a lower level with the sling bar,
this can be arranged by lengthening the lift strap using the
mechanical emergency lowering device. Do not lengthen the
strap more than necessary as the highest obtainable lifting
level is also affected.
An example of when it would be advantageous to lower the lift
interval is when lifting from the floor using a sling whose strap
loops do not reach up to the sling bar hooks when the lift is in
its lowest position.
Do as follows:
Push down the red emergency lowering handle at the same
time as loading the sling bar (pull down the sling bar with
your other hand). This extends the strap and the sling bar is
lowered. Repeat until the required strap length is obtained.

Restoring the lifting level
If the lift strap has been lengthened due to using the emergency
lowing function, the lift interval height will be lower than
previously. To restore maximum lifting height, the lift strap must
be reset to its original length.
Do as follows:
1. Remove any load / weight from the strap above the emergency
lowering device. Do this by either placing the sling bar above
the lift arm or by another person holding the sling bar up so
that the strap hangs loose.
2. Lower and raise the handle with your left hand. At the same
time tension the strap by turning the knob (a) clockwise with
your right hand. Repeat this procedure until the red mark on the
strap is just above the emergency lowering device.

Locking the Wheels
The rear wheels can be locked to prevent rotating and turning. The locking/unlocking of the wheels is done with the foot.
Locked wheels during lifting can increase the risk of tipping.
NOTE:
When lifting, the wheels should be unlocked so that the lift can be moved to the patient’s center of gravity. The wheels
should be locked, however, if there is a risk of the lift rolling into the patient, for instance, when lifting from the floor.
