12. Manual switch
The drive unit is activated with the manual switch
(stepless adjustment) and activates the
“lifting”
and
“lowering”
of the lifter arm. For the desired
action, the button is kept pressed down (LED illu-
minates). When releasing the button, the drive
automatically stops (LED does not illuminate).
13. Wheel brakes
Both wheel brakes are an important safety feature
whenever using the Patient Hoist. The back swivel
castors are equipped with wheel brakes and allow
the locking of the rear wheels.
Warning! Danger of tipping over!
Both rear wheels must be braked.
Press the wheel brake
levers down with your
foot. The wheels are
now locked and the di-
rection is secured.
Be sure that the wheels
are not swivelled in-
wards.
The wheel brakes can
be released simply by
lifting up the lever with
your foot.
14. Emergency lowering / jamming protection
14.1 Electric emergency lowering
A fully charged battery has a capacity of 50 lift-
ing/lowering cycles with a load. When the battery
is almost empty, the yellow LED blinks and an
acoustic peeping tone is given off.
One lifting/lowering cycle is still possible, but then
the
rechargeable battery must be recharged!
14.2 Mechanical emergency lowering
In the event the patient becomes exposed to an
emergency situation, or an electrical defect occurs
with the drive motor, or the control unit fails, or the
battery is completely uncharged, then it becomes
necessary to use the mechanical emergency low-
ering system.
Warning! Risk of injury!
When using emergency mechanical lowering,
do not stand under the lifter arm.
By rotating the red grip (A) counter clockwise at
the end of the stroke tube (B), the lifter arm can be
lowered until it reaches the striker.
Warning! Do not rotate the tube (B)!
14.3 Jamming protection
A pin contact is located
just beneath the motor. If
the lifter arm is loaded and
lowered,
and
travels
against an obstruction,
then the lifter arm raises
and the contact to the mo-
tor is interrupted.
Do not put the Patient Hoist in operation if the still
motor runs when the contact is interrupted!
15. Stability
– spreading the base
The foot pedal allows the spreading of the base
members (left and right) and thus facilitates mov-
ing the unit to the area of use. Press the foot pedal
all the way down to the stop.
Warning! Danger of tipping over!
Spread the base members only when the rear
wheel locks are fully disengaged!
Not spread apart:
