7.1 General information

During transportation, or when the patient lift is not to be
used for some time, the emergency stop button should be
pushed in.
A folded or disassembled lift can be located in the packaging
box, for transportation and storage.
Folded lifts can be pulled on the rear wheels and lifts with
a manual leg spreader can be parked in an upright position
with the mast/boom assembly pointing upwards.
The patient lift must be stored at normal room temperature.
If it is stored in a damp, cold or wet environment then the
motor and other mounting parts may be prone to corrosion.
