6.3 Moving the Hoist along the track system
Always use extreme care when moving the Hoist along the track. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that
may cause injury to the individual in the sling, damage to the hoist and/or to the obstruction.
After use, the Hoist should be located at the correct end of the track system for re-charging.
When needed, the Hoist should be moved along the track using the following appropriate method:
To Traverse the Hoist, you must first lower the carry bar to an appropriate height to hold onto with both hands.
Then the user must hold the carry bar with both hands either side of the lift tape, and push or pull the Hoist along the track in
the intended direction of travel to the required destination.
This process applies when moving the Hoist with and without a patient in the sling.
When there is a patient being transferred, ensure they are at a reasonable height above the ground to ensure they are not being
dragged along the floor, or hit any obstructions.
Always ensure the direction of travel is clear of any obstacles.
NEVER pull the Hoist along the track using the handset as this could have a detrimental effect on the performance
of the Hoist.
6.4 Handset Storage
The Handset is stored in the Handset case provided. The Handset case will be installed onto the
wall at either end of the track system. This case is also the charging dock for the Hoist as it is
charged through the Handset. To store the handset after use, traverse the Hoist back to its
charging location and dock the handset into the case. At the end of each use of the Hoist, the
Handset should be returned to the case.
To place the Handset into the case correctly, the front face of the handset will face the wall with
the attachment hook facing away. The Handset should slot into the case nicely. For further details
see "Handset Charging".
6.5 Charging the Hoist
Handset Charging
The CP Hoist is designed for Handset charging. A charging dock should have been fitted onto the wall nearby, usually at the end
of the ceiling track system.
The Charging Dock is also used as a handset hook, meaning at the end of each use of the hoist, the hoist should be traversed to
the charging docks location and the handset should be placed into the charging dock for placement and charging.
This will ensure that the batteries are charged on a regular basis for peak performance and maximum life expectancy. The Hoist
may remain connected to the charger indefinitely because the hoist has a built-in regulator, removing the danger of
overcharging.
To charge the Hoist, you must first open the small blue cover at the base of the handset to open the charging port. Then you
must place the handset into the charging dock as shown in the figures below. The handset front face will be facing towards the
wall with the attachment hook facing away. Slide the handset all the way into the dock and carefully push until the dock has
attached to the handset port.
To ensure the Hoist is charging, check the LED's on the Cover are showing, charging or charged.
