ADJUSTABLE BASE
WARNING
The operation of the patient lift is an easy and safe
procedure. DO NOT attempt any transfer without
approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or
medical attendant. Thoroughly read the instructions
in this Owner’s Manual, observe a trained team of
experts performing the lifting procedures and then
perform the entire lift procedure several times with
proper supervision and a capable individual acting
as a patient.
ONLY operate this lift with the legs in maximum open
position and locked in place. The base legs MUST
be locked in the open position at all times for
stability and patient safety when lifting and
transferring a patient.
The Shifter handle is used to open the legs of the base
for stability when lifting a patient.
To Open the Legs of the Adjustable Base
1. Grasp the shifter handle in one-hand and place the
opposite hand on the steering handle of the mast for
balance.
2. Push the shifter handle to your RIGHT to release the
lock pin from its mounting hole.
3. Turn the handle CLOCKWISE until you are able to
secure the lock pin into the opposite mounting hole
to fully open the legs of the base.
NOTE: The lock pin MUST insert into its mounting
hole in the socket assembly to lock the legs in the
full open position. The shifter handle will be in the
vertical position; parallel with the mast assembly.
