4. Check that the legs open and close normally.
5. Assembly of the actuator:
There are two pins located in the metal plates attached to the arm and the mast. Remove the black rubber stoppers and both
pins. Elevate the arm of the hoist, and align the actuator holes with the holes in the metal plates of the arm and mast. Insert the
pins into the holes and replace the rubber stoppers.
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. Correct positioning of the plug is indicated by
the two triangular guides that must point towards the outside of the mast.
9. Plug the actuator into its socket under the charger base.
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.
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 . 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.
Power cannot be restored until the button is turned in the sense of the arrows. In the model MICRO, the emergency stop button
is in the control box, and it is activated but pushing it. It will be reset by twisting the button clockwise and releasing.
5. Emergency down button: This yellow button is under the battery charger base. It is used to lower the boom automatically if the
hand control unit should fail. In the model MICRO, this button is allocated in the control box (LOWER). It is activated by inserting
a ballpoint pen into it.
