Other Procedures
Emergency Stop Switch
A red emergency stop switch is located on the
control box
.
Base Adjustment
The base of the VANDER-LIFT II™ should be open to its widest position for all transfers. The
base may be narrowed to go through doorways but must be opened after the lift has
cleared the door. To adjust the width of the base, stand behind the lift and grasp the top of
the spreader bar located at the rear of the lift. Adjust as follows:
Closed
Move the spreader bar to the right hand position.
Half Open
Move the spreader bar to the center position.
Open
Move the spreader bar to the left hand position.
Rear Caster Brakes
The VANDER-LIFT II™ is equipped with caster brakes on the rear wheels. To lock the
brakes, step down on the end of each brake tab. To release the brakes, push forward on the
tab located on the top of each brake.
Emergency Lowering Switch
WARNING
The only time the brakes should be locked during transfers is when the patient is being
lifted from a ramp or some other sloping surface, or when toileting a patient with the
VANDER-LIFT II™.
WARNING
If the pendant switch fails, use the emergency lowering switch located on
the
control box
. To use it, press the
down button with a pen or similiar object to
lower the lift. This switch should only be used in emergency situations when the
pendant switch fails.
Do not press on the hand held pendant switch buttons and the emergency
lowering switch at the same time.
WARNING
If the hand control fails and the lift continues to raise or lower, press the emergency
stop switch on
the control box
to stop the lift.
Rear Caster Brakes
If your lift is equipped with an electric base, use the hand control to open and to close the
legs instead of using the spreader bar.
