lift can be moved along the traversing beam, and that the traversing
beam itself can be moved along the two parallel support tracks.
The actual direction of travel when the hand control buttons are pressed
may be different than shown, since the track and lift orientation may be
different than installed. .

Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the traversing beam. Watch out for and
avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or damage to the lift/

black or white hand control button. Refer to figure 7B. This will move the beam
in the direction of travel as noted by the black [▼] and white arrows [▲]located
on the underside of the lift. Refer to figure 7C.
Caution: Do not operate the lift , with bottom cover open.
If the installed track is an "H" system then this sec-
tion should be reviewed as it describes how to move
the traversing beam. If the installed track is not an
"H" system then this section can be skipped.
The "H" system involves the installation of two par-
allel support tracks and one traversing beam that is
mounted perpendicular to the two support tracks.
Refer to figure 7A. The benefit of this type of system
is that it provides greater movement and positioning
ability for an individual since the floor space cover-
age area is much higher than for a single piece of
track.
Besides the previously described UP/DOWN move-
ment of the carry bar, and LEFT/RIGHT movement
of the lift, the "H" system adds the ability to move
the traversing beam anywhere along the length of
the two parallel support tracks. Refer to figure 7A.

This can be accomplished in one of
two ways. If the installed "H" trav-
ersing beam is
manually traversing then the
beam is moved along the support
tracks by manually moving the
beam, lift, and individual in one mo-
tion. This movement is the same as
that used for a manual traversing
lift, as previously described.
If the installed "H" system travers-
ing beam is motorized traversing
then the beam is moved along the
support tracks by pressing either the
