OPERATION OF THE PATIENT LIFT
The mast (C) includes the steering handles used to
move and guide the lift. The mast is supported in a
socket in the rear center of the base with casters (A).
For transporting the lift in a vehicle, the mast, boom and
pump assembly may be lifted from the base socket for
convenient storage. Each time the mast is returned to
the socket of the base, care should be used to push the
mast as far as possible down into the socket. Rotate
the mast slightly until it locks in the center position. The
bottom of the mast tube is grooved on either side, and
those grooves seat on tabs in the base socket to
prevent any rotation of the mast during the lift
procedure. Secure the mast to the base by securely
tightening the screw located at the rear of the base.
Refer to the Patient Sling owner’s manual for complete
lifting preparation information.
The horn (D) is made with knobs on both sides and in
the center to accept the sling that supports the patient
during lift.
There are two controls on the pump assembly (F), which
are the pump handle (G) and the control valve (H). With
the control valve closed, the pump handle is moved up
and down with slow strokes of even pressure to raise
the horn. A patient in a sling attached to the horn would
be elevated by this operation. The horn is lowered by
opening the control valve and moving the control valve
away from the pump handle. A safety gate is part of the
hydraulic system that prevents sudden lowering of the
horn regardless of how far the control valve is opened.
The knee pad (E) can be adjusted for patient support
and comfort. Pull both adjustment pins outward at the
same time to move the knee pad to the desired
position. Make sure adjustment pins are engaged.
To raise the footplate (I), position the knee pad (E) in the
highest setting. When the footplate is up, the knee pad
can be adjusted to the desired position.
The shifter handle (B) is used to open the legs of the
base for stability before lifting a patient. The base legs
should be locked in the maximum open position at all
times when a patient is on the lift.
To open the base legs, grasp the shifter handle in one
hand, and place the opposite hand on the steering
handle of the mast for balance. Move the handle to
your right to release the lock pin then bring the handle
towards you in a complete half-circle. The lock pin
should insert into a hole in the plate to lock the legs in
full open position and the shifter handle should once
again be vertical. To close the legs to a narrow position
for storage, reverse the above procedure. If the shifter
handle is not vertical (straight up and down), the lock
pin is not seated in place.
