Hoist Operation
•
The handset activates the lift actuator by the use of two low pressure buttons, protected by a strong
plastic cover. These are symbolised by arrows (diagram). The arrows indicate the direction of travel
to raise or lower the hoist jib. When either button is released the jib will remain in position.
•
Some versions of ALLEGRO hoists incorporate an actuator driven leg opening adjustment. On
these hoists two extra buttons will be seen on the handset with arrows and symbolised legs
indicating the direction of travel. This function allows an unrestricted range of leg adjustment.
•
The handset is also fi tted with a battery indicator light. This will fl ash when the batteries reach a
maximum discharge of 18 volts. NB the light will only fl ash when the hoist is under load.
•
The connection for the handset is located on the underside of the control box (diagram 1).
Actuator
The SALSA 200 mobile patient STANDING/TRANSFER hoist uses a LINAK single speed actuator with
an emergency controlled lowering release handle.( red lift up tab located at base of actuator shaft). This
allows the patient to be lowered in the event of a fault in the hoist or deep discharged batteries.
