Before and during each use of the hoist:
Make sure the mast is in place as shown on the label below. And
that is handled following the direction of the arrow.
Make sure that the closing lever between mast and base is
completely tight and that there is no movement between both parts
of the crane. The mast must be completely blocked.
• Use the hoist only on flat, smooth surfaces.
• Push, drive the hoist following the direction marked on the label at the bottom of the mast.
• Please be aware that the physical forces required to move the hoist when laden on carpeted or uneven and rough textured surfaces will
be greater than those required on a flat or smooth surface. Careful planning of the lifting operation is recommended in these environments
to avoid potential damage to the hoist due to heavy handling
• Always check before use that the sling is of a type and size suitable for the patient.
• Do not use the lift until you have check that the actuator is secured at both ends by a bolt and nut.
• Check the parallelism of the legs of the hoist. If the legs are turned inwards, see Fig.1 (by more than 3 degrees) and not parallel, (the legs
closed position(F) as described in Technical Specifications section) and dimension F is reduced by more than 100 mm DO NOT use the
hoist in this position.
• Always check that the safe working load of the hoist is sufficient for the weight of the patient.
• Adjust sling as per the relevant instructions for use.
• Properly attach the end loops of the harness attachment straps to the inside of the two outer hooks, marked with black arrows in the figure
below. As this locking design will prevent the risk of the harness loops slipping out of the harness (see figure 2).

• Do not lift the patient until you have ensured that the patient's hands are kept within the harness, making sure the patient does not hold on
to the actuator or the hoist's mobile joints. And do not handle the sling bar by the ends to avoid potential entrapment of fingers between
the hooks of the sling bar.
• When lifting or lowering the patient, the attendant and hoist operator must keep his or her hands away from the actuator and the
connecting and turning parts between the arm and the mast.
• Before moving a patient ensure that they are comfortable and as close as possible to the floor.
• Move the hoist with care: there is a risk of crushing the feet between the base of the hoist and the floor.
• To push the hoist along use the push handle on the mast, and never the mast itself, the boom or the patient.
• When transporting a patient never move the hoist at more than 3 kph or 0.8 metres per second.
• Do not try to push the hoist over any obstacle which its front castors cannot easily overcome.
• Do not use the hoist on inclines of more than approx. 5º. SUNRISE MEDICAL recommends that the aid of a third person be enlisted when
moving patients on slopes.
• Never leave the hoist with a patient unattended on a slope.
