Emergency Lowering
The Emergency Lowering allows the lifting arm to be
lowered in the event of a main control failure.
In the event of a hand control or control panel failure,
nd the red handle on the actuator.
Gradually pull the red handle up and hold it until the
lifting arm is lowered to the desired level. The force
applied by pulling the red handle and the patient
weight affects the speed of lowering. (See Fig. 9)
You may need to assist the lowering by applying
downward force on the lifting arm.
WARNING
To avoid injury, always make sure that a
suitable support is placed underneath,
ready to receive the patient, before
operating the Emergency Lowering function.
The handle is spring loaded and will return to its
original position. It stops the lowering process once
the red handle is released.
NOTE
Note that a load must be applied to the lifting
arm for the Emergency Lowering function.
CAUTION
To avoid product damage, emergency
lowering should only be used in the event of
control failure and not as a regular lowering
function for the product.
Automatic Cut-Out
This is not an operator control but a function built into
the Sara Flex electronics.
If the lift is inadvertently overloaded by trying to raise
or lower a load heavier than permitted, an automatic
"cut-out" function operates to prevent the lift from
raising a weight in excess of the safe working load
(SWL). This will stop the lift's motion automatically.
If this occurs, release the "up" button on the
hand control or the control panel. Do not continue to
raise the load. Make sure that the Sara Flex operates
only within its safe working load.
