6.0 Hoist Operation
6.1 Turning the Hoist ON and OFF
To operate the H oist, it must first be turned ON via the “ON” cord on the
Hoist itself (see figure 30). The cord operates a toggle switch within the
Hoist. Pressing the toggle switch upward will turn the hoist ON, while
pulling the cord down will turn the Hoist OFF. On the side cover of the
Hoist, the LED’s will turn GREEN to indicate that power is availab le. The
hand controller will “wake up” once any functionality button is pressed.
To conserve battery, the Hoist will automatically shut off after approximately two minutes of non-use.
If the batteries of the Hoist are low and require charging, the LED indicator lights located on the hoist will flash yellow (see LED
status indications further in the user manual) depending upon the level of discharge and an audible buzzing alarm will sound
when the level gets critical until charging takes place.
6.2 Raising and lowering the carry bar
By pressing the UP or the DOWN arrow button on the handset, the carry bar can be raised or lowered to the correct height for
attaching the sling or positioning an individual. The UP/DOWN functions of the handset buttons are in relation to the travel of
the Hoist. That is, the grey button at the top end of the handset activates the UP motion of the carry bar and the Green button
activates the DOWN motion (Figure 31). The Red Button is the Emergency Lowering function. This should only be used in an
emergency when the normal functions cannot lower the patient during a lift. The Hoist cover also provides these abilities, with
the same colour coding performing these functions.
Shown in the image opposite are the 3
functions of the hand controller for the hoist.
A.
“UP” when pressed
B. “DOWN” when pressed
C.
“EMERGENCY LOWER” when pressed
It is recommended that the operator hold the carry bar with one hand while raising/lowering is being done. This will
stop the bar accidentally swaying and/or coming into contact with an individual or close object.
For the same reasons, raise the carry bar above head height when not in use and when traversing the unloaded
hoist.
