OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Stand Aid may be heavy for users and will need to be lifted with care, please operate the device with the use of
the castors wherever possible to prevent any injury.
Appropriate training in lifting and handling procedures should be undergone by any person operating a Stand Aid,
for their own and the client’s safety and comfort. These instructions are designed to cover the method of using the Stand Aid.
5.1 Manoeuvring the Stand Aid
A. To move the Stand Aid forward, hold onto the handle bar and push forward.
B. Do not stand on the leg actuator, or use the actuator to push the Stand Aid (Fig. 10 and 11).
C. When turning the Stand Aid, use both hands on the handle. Alternatively, it is possible to rotate the Stand Aid by
applying the brake to a single rear castor and rotating the Stand Aid about the braked castor. This movement should be
performed with a smooth, slow action to avoid swinging the patient unnecessarily.
D. The Mackworth SA400 Stand Aid has two rear castors with brake.
E. The rear castors can be braked for rotation (by applying a single brake), lateral movement, and parking. To apply the
brake, press the brake pedal down with your foot (as shown in Fig. 12). To release the brake, press the raised pedal
towards the wheel (as shown in Fig. 13).
F. During lifting, the rear wheels should remain unlocked so that the Stand Aid will not move.
The wheels should be locked if there is a risk of the Stand Aid moving to the patient. For example, when lifting the
patient from the floor.
5.2 Raising and Lowering
The up and down movement of the lifting arm on the Mackworth SA400 Stand Aid is achieved by
an electric actuator which is controlled by hand control. The hand control has two buttons with
directional arrows up and down. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both
directions.
5.3 Open / Close Stand Aid Legs
The legs of Mackworth SA400 Stand Aid are opened/closed using the appropriate
buttons on the hand control, see figure 15 for guidance. The legs’ motion will be
stopped whenever the hand control button is released. The legs can be opened to
enable access around arm chairs or wheel chairs. When relocating the Stand Aid,
manoeuvring through narrow doorways and/or passages, the Stand Aid legs should be
in the closed position.
