Automatic Cut-Out; Automatic Stop Function; Battery Discharge Indicator; Service Indicator - Arjo Opera Operating And Product Care Instructions

Product Description/Function
Warning: If the system cut-out switch
engages again, do not use the lift and
contact the ARJO Service Department.
Automatic cut out (not an operator control but a
function built into the lift electronics):
If the lift is overloaded (by lifting a patient heavier
than permitted), an automatic "cut-out" engages to
prevent the lift lifting a load in excess of one and a
half times the maximum rated load. This will stop
the lift motion automatically.
If this occurs, when pressure is released from the
lift button on the handset or dual control the
electronics will, after a short delay, reset and enable
the patient to be lowered only, when either of the
"lower" buttons is pressed. Remove the patient
from the lift.
Automatic stop function (not an operator control
but a function built into the lift electronics):
Great care should be taken not to lower the spreader
bar or stretcher on to the patient or any other
obstruction. If this should happen, the motor will
stop and downward movement will be held by the
obstruction. If this occurs, immediately release the
pressure from the "lower" button, operate the
"raise" button until the spreader bar/stretcher is
clear, then remove the obstruction.
Battery Discharge Indicator (see Fig. 5): This is a
small LED display which shows the charge
condition of the lift battery (also, see the section
titled "Battery
description).
Service Indicator (see Fig. 5): This is a small LCD
display which shows the total duration of powered
operation (in hours) of the lifting and lowering
procedure. This is primarily intended to assist
service engineers.
Adjustable width chassis legs (see Fig. 8): Press
the appropriate button on either the control handset
or the dual control panel on the lift to open the
chassis legs to any variable width. When pressure is
released from the button, the movement will stop
and the chassis legs will remain securely in
position. Always transport the chassis legs in the
narrow (closed) position.
Charging" for a complete
Chassis castor Brakes (see Fig. 9): The chassis
rear castors have brakes which can be foot operated
if required, i.e.
unattended, or to keep the Opera in position.
Jib and spreader bars/stretcher frame (see Fig. 1):
If the Opera has not been supplied with a
"dedicated" or permanently attached powered
patient positioning 4-point spreader bar (PPP), it
will be supplied with the "Lock and Load" system
jib. This jib is fitted with a carrier able to
accommodate any of the Opera jib attachments, i.e.
the 2- or 4-point spreader bars, stretcher frame, etc.
(see the section titled "Using the Opera" for full
instructions on fitting or changing the attachments).
