5. Assembly

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Open the box carefully in a large open space. The box contains:
• Main chassis with 4 castors
• Mast assembly with boom and spreader bar, and charger base
• Electric actuator
• Hand control
• Batteries
• Charger cable
1. Remove all parts from the box and lay them out on the floor. Some parts are heavy and may require two people to lift them.
2. Engage the brakes on the rear castors of the chassis.
3. Insert the mast into the rectangular plinth in the chassis as far as the red arrow on its side. Then turn the handle clockwise to ensure that
it is firmly secured.
WARNING: keep your fingers away from the end of the mast when inserting it into the chassis.

4. Check that the legs open and close normally.
5. Assembly of the actuator:
Elevate the lift boom and place the actuator so that the holes in the mast plates are aligned with the actuator base. Insert the bolt
through and hole and tighten the nut
6. Connect the batteries box into the base by sliding it along the rail of the mast. To remove the battery box, pull it upwards by the handle
and then push it towards the outside.
7. Check that the red emergency stop button on the charger base is not pressed.
8. Insert the plug of the hand control into its receiving socket under the charger base.
9. Plug the actuator into its socket under the charger base. For a correct positioning firmly press the pin up until completely inserted in
place.
10. Push the hand control buttons up and down and check that the boom moves up and down properly. The hoist is now ready for use.

6. Use

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Leg adjustment: The legs of the hoist can be moved apart or closer together to facilitate access to a wheelchair, toilet, etc. When
going through narrow doorways or passageways the legs should be fully closed. Adjust them by pressing downwards on the foot pedal.
(Operation force <300N)
Right pedal = legs fully closed
Left pedal = legs fully open
2. Rear castors and braking: The hoist has two rear braked castors. The rear castors must be left free when the boom is raised so that
the hoist can move towards the centre of gravity of the hoisting line. If the brakes are engaged it will be the patient who moves towards
the centre of gravity, which may cause discomfort.
3. Raising and lowering the boom: Boom movement is via an electric actuator controlled by a simple hand control unit. This unit has
two buttons marked with arrows UP and DOWN (Operation force<5N). The actuator stops automatically at the end of its travel in both
directions. The hand control unit is connected to a socket under the battery box charger base.
4. Emergency stop button: The red emergency stop button in the frontal of the battery charger base cuts all power to the hoist. (Operation
force <105N). Power cannot be restored until the button is turned in the sense of the arrows. It will be reset by twisting the button
clockwise and releasing.
