USEFUL TIPS
1. Battery Operation
A BATTERY located on the BASE, powers LIFTEM. Through testing it has been
established that a fully charged BATTERY will allow the following is the approximate
number of patient lift and transfers to be completed before recharging:
•
Patient weight - 150 pounds 70 lift and transfers
•
Patient weight - 300 pounds 40 lift and transfers
•
Patient weight - 700 pounds 30 lift and transfers
NOTE: A lift and transfer cycle is described as lifting a patient from the initial position to
the new position to which they will be transferred.
If CONTROLLER emits a Beep sound, it is an indication that BATTERY is low on
charge. Use should be discontinued, the POWER CORD should be connected to AC
Power and the BATTERY should be charged.
2. Operation by 115 Volt AC Power using Wall Socket
LIFTEM can also be operated using 115 Volt AC Power. Plug the POWER CORD into a
115 Volt AC wall socket and the system will operate as though it is on BATTERY
power.
THIS METHOD OF POWERING LIFTEM SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN
EMERGENCIES .
3. Operation in Case of a Dead Battery or Loss of AC Electric Power
a) Dead Battery
In the event a patient is in the middle of a lift and transfer and the BATTERY looses
power, plug the POWER CORD into an 115 Volt AC outlet and LIFTEM can then be
operated..
AC POWER IS NOT TO BE USED FOR DURING NORMAL
OPERATION.
b) Loss of AC Power and a Dead Battery
LIFTEM cannot be operated if the BATTERY is dead and the AC Power is not
available. However, if loss of power occurs during a lift and transfer and a patient is
suspended, the patient can be lowered using a RED RELEASE BUTTON located on
the body of the LIFT ACTUATOR. Simply pull the RED RELEASE BUTTON
upward. It will move about one inch. Hold it in that position as the patient is slowly
lowered to a receiver. Once the patient is safely secured release the button. LIFTEM
cannot be used again until the BATTERY is recharged or until the 115 Volt AC
Power is restored.
