3. Start up
SCALEO Medical provides universal power supply adapted to any voltage/frequency value.
Before charging the battery you will just have to check that the plug provided fits to your local AC outlet.
3.1 For the first use, the battery must imperatively be 100% charged.
3.2 Before each use check for correct installation of the lift and its accessories, and verify proper operation
before use with a patient.
The few controls below only take a few minutes and allow you to ensure safe use of your POWEO ®
- Make sure no parts are damaged or shows signs of wear.
- Check the tightness of the security screws securing the column, which must be made when installing the
hoist with the hardware and the supplied thread lock.
- Inspect accessible screws and make sure none are loose.
- Check the lights on the remote control: battery indicator should be solid green, maintenance indicator should
be off.
- Check the features: raise and down the arm, leg opening, emergency stop.
In case of malfunction, or doubt about the proper operation, do not use the POWEO: inform your
technical service, your distributor, or contact us at the address on the back of this manual.
3.3. Practise by lifting a colleague, and by being lifted by others. It is important to experience how the patient
will feel while being lifted by putting yourself in his position. Try out and practise using all the relevant slings for
the different types of lifts and movements you may encounter. It is also a good idea to inform the patient of the
procedure he(she) is about to go through to comfort him.
It is very important to use accessories and slings adapted to:
• user ability
• body shape of user
• weight of user
• specific type of transfer
The POWEO® 150 lifter is designed for use in room temperature, +10 to +40°C. This should be taken
into consideration when transporting the lifter; and therefore keeping it in a temperate part of the
vehicle. Alternatively, the lifter must rest in a temperate room until the equipment has achieved proper
working temperature.
