Operation
Safety function, lifting motor
The lifting motor is provided with a safety device protecting against jamming. If the
lifting arm meets with resistance during lowering, the movement of the arm will stop
automatically. Thus, a person cannot get jammed between the lifting arm and the
bed/chair.
Warning!!
Owing to the protection facility of the motor the lifting arm may fall
freely to the spindle of the motor.
Therefore, make sure that the lifting arm does not ”hang”, that it has
always been pressed down to ensure that it rests on the spindle of the
motor before and after all lifting operations.
This is important as otherwise persons may get hurt if the lifting arm
”falls” down.
Emergency stop
If the walking trainer must be stopped in an emergency, press the red button of the
control unit. When the button has been depressed, the electrical functions cannot be
activated and the battery indicator has been switched off.
Emergency lowering
If the walking trainer is to be lowered and the hand control unit does not work, there are
two possible solutions:
-
The electrical emergency lowering device of the control unit (marked emergency),
see drawing page 11. Press it with a ball pencil or the like and the person will be
lowered slowly.
-
The mechanical emergency lowering device of the lifting motor. Pull the red handle,
see drawing page 10.
