OPERATING CONTROLS
1. Leg adjustment
The legs on the Oxford/Hoyer Presence are electrically adjustable for width. The legs can
be opened to enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negoti-
ating narrow doorways and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position.
Electric leg adjustment - is achieved by pressing the appropriate buttons on the hand-
control. The legs will be locked whenever the handcontrol switch is released.
2. Castors and Braking
The lift has two braked castors which can be applied for parking. When lifting, the
castors should be left free and un-braked. The lift will then be able to move to the
centre of gravity of the lift. If the brakes are applied it is the patient that will swing
to the centre of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable.
3. Raising and lowering the boom
The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator which is con-
trolled by a simple handcontrol unit. The handcontrol has two buttons with directional
arrows UP and DOWN
both directions. The handcontrol plugs into a socket at the base of the control box.
4. Emergency Stop
The red Emergency Stop Button is located on the front of the control box and is acti-
vated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the lift and only be reset by twisting
the button anticlockwise and releasing.
