CHAPTER 2
STEP BY STEP OPERATION
1. General
This chapter will provide operating instructions for the use of LIFTEM
MARK IV to safely and efficiently lift and transfer a patient from one
location to another. LIFTEM is illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 which
identify the main parts of the system (Figure 1), and the positions of the
LEGS for a safe lift and transfer (Figures 2 and 3).
Figure 2 shows LIFTEM with the LEGS closed and retracted. This
configuration can be used to move the system from location to location
but must not be used to lift and transfer a patient because it can be
unstable.
Figure 3 shows the LEG deployment that MUST be used for a safe lift and transfer of a
patient. Note: Unless the LEGS are
FULLY OPEN AND EXTENDED, YOU WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO POSITION THE LIFTING ARM OVER THE PATIENT . In
this configuration the appropriate SLING is fitted to the patient. The BOOM and
LIFTING BAR are positioned over the patient to allow the SLING to be attached to the
ends of the LIFTING BAR. There is sufficient latitude in the motion of the BOOM (up
& down) and the MAST (rotate left and right) to allow a lift from a bed or from the floor.
LIFTEM must be located appropriately with respect to the position of the patient to be
lifted and the receptacle to which the patient is transferred. (See Figure 5).
Prior to using LIFTEM remember that LIFTEM is normally operated from a BATTERY
source. It is important to make sure the BATTERY is fully charged. In an emergency,
LIFTEM can be operated from a 115 Volt AC wall outlet by plugging the POWER
CORD into a standard power receptacle. If the CONTROLLER emits a Beep sound, it is
an indication that the BATTERY is low on charge. Use should be discontinued, the
POWER CORD should be connected and the BATTERY should be charged.
115 Volt
AC power is not to be used for normal operation. AC power should ONLY be used
in emergencies.
