How to use this Patient Lift?

Assembling Instructions

1. Unpack the components from the shipping cartons.
2. Remove the locking screw from the Bottom of the base.
3. The bottom of the mast assembly will have a notch.
4. Match the notch at the bottom of the mast assembly with the tabs inside the socket of the base assembly.
5. Insert the mast assembly into the socket and onto the tabs.
6. Turn the mast assembly to ensure that the notch is locked on the tabs of the socket.
   Note: if the mast does not turn, the mast is centered and locked in place.
7. Insert the locking screw into the bottom of the base and securely tighten.
8. Remove the bolt and lock nut from the TOP of the mounting bracket of the mast assembly.
9. Align the holes of the boom assembly and mast assembly mounting bracket. Insert the bolt completely through the holes of the mast assembly mounting bracket and the boom assembly.
   Note: Be sure that the bolt is completely through the holes of the mast assembly mounting bracket and boom assembly and that they are not riding on the shoulder of the bolt.
10. Tighten the bolt and nut using the Alien wrench provided and an adjustable wrench.
    Note: The nut and bolt can be tightened completely, and the boom assembly will pivot easily if the mounting hardware is aligned properly when the boom assembly is secured to the mast. To check for the correct alignment of the hardware, use the Allen wrench provided and turn the bolt by hand (it should rotate without a lot of force being applied). If excessive force is necessary, the bolt is not aligned properly. Disassemble and repeat assembly procedures until proper alignment is obtained.
11. To check for tightness of nut and bolt:
    • Raise the boom assembly.
    • Push the control handle away from the pump assembly.
    • If the boom assembly pivots easily, the nut and bolt are NOT too tight.
    • If the boom assembly does not pivot easily or does not pivot at all, then the nut and bolt are not aligned properly.

Lifting the Patient

Before lifting or transferring the patient, the base legs MUST be locked in the open position for optimum stability and safety

1. Using the steering handle, push the hydraulic patient lift underneath the bed.
2. Lower the patient lift for easy attachment of the sling hardware or straps.
3. Chains, 0-Rings, and D-Rings: After the chains, O-Rings or D-Rings are attached, and the S-hooks are secured in both sides of the sling sections (open end facing outward), place the D-rings of the strap assembly or the O-ring and chain link of the chain assembly over the chain hooks of the swivel bar.
4. Chain-Free Full Body and Padded “U” Slings: Attach the straps to the strap hooks of the swivel bar.
5. Pump the lift handle or turn the handle clockwise (clicking sound is normal) to raise the patient above the bed. The patient should be elevated high enough to clear the bed, and the lift should support their weight.
6. When the patient is lifted from the bed (with the patient's head supported), he/she will be raised to a sitting position.
7. When patients clear the bed surface, swing their feet off it.
8. Using the steering handles, move the patient lift away from the bed.
9. When moving the patient lift away from the bed, turn the patient so that he/she faces the attendant operating the patient lift.
10. Open the control valve lowering the patient so that his feet rest on or over the base of the lift, straddling the mast. Close the control valve.
