3 Using the patient hoist
3.1 Operating the lift
CAUTION
 When using the lift, make sure that there is sufficient room around and above it, as the
adjustment movements could otherwise lead to damage or injury.
 Always be aware of the lifting arm to avoid injury.
 Only slings that have been designed and approved for the patients must be used (see usage
instructions for the various slings). Use of any other slings is at your own risk.
 Only use the handles to push/pull the patient hoist, no other components.
Please observe the technical information according to which the patient hoist may be operated.
The patient hoist must only be operated by authorised staff who have been trained in its use and
operation.
3.1.1 Altering the chassis width
3.1.2 Parking brakes
3.1.3 Footplate
Risk of injuries and/or damage
To get the lift around a wheelchair or other seating
furniture, or to increase the stability of the lift in the
standing position, the separation of the chassis legs
can be increased.
Stand behind the assembled lift and take hold of the
handles for pushing the patient hoist (on the left and
right, next to the control box). Press the lever at the
bottom of the chassis (left or right) down with your foot,
and the separation of the legs of the chassis can be
increased or decreased.
Secure the two casters at the back of the chassis by
pressing the caster brake plates down gently to their end
stops with the tip of your foot. To release the brake, push
the brake plate gently back up again with the front of
your foot until the casters are free.
The footplate  can be mounted or removed with the
hooks  to/from the chassis of the patient hoist. If it is
required for a greater stabilization of your feet you can
use the special footrests  with velcro straps for
stabilization.
