Your lift chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Please be
aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of lift chair to be used is the
responsibility of you, the lift chair user, if capable of making such a decision, and/or your healthcare
professional (i.e., medical doctor, allied health professional, therapist, etc.).
MANDATORY! Read and follow the information provided in this owner’s manual
before attempting to operate your lift chair for the first time.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice
operating the lift chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a
family member or healthcare professional specially trained in assisting you with performing various daily
living activities while safely operating a lift chair.
Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed
to operating the lift chair in a safe manner.
MODIFICATIONS
Aspire chairs are designed and engineered to provide maximum comfort and utility. However, to prevent
personal injury and/or damage to your lift chair, you should not modify, add, remove or disable any
feature, part or function of your lift chair. Unauthorised modifications may also void your product’s
warranty.
NOTE: Use Aspire approved parts only for all repairs and replacements.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your lift chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to “Appendix A” for more information.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your lift chair. Failure
to do so may result in injuries and/or product damage, Aidacare will not be held
responsible for any such issues/failures.
PINCH/CRUSH HAZARDS
The scissor and lift mechanisms are labelled as pinch/crush point hazards on your lift chair. Keep clear of
these areas and make sure the path of motion is unobstructed. .
WARNING! Do not place objects or appendages in the path of moving parts.
DEGREE OF PROTECTION/MODE OF OPERATION
• Class II equipment/Type B protection against electric shock
• Degree of protection against the ingress of solid/liquids—IPX0
2. GENERAL GUIDELINES
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency
waves can have an adverse aect on the performance of electrically-powered
devices, such as lift chairs.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones,
mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, wireless computer links, Wifi, microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range
mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended
movement or damage to the control system of electrically-powered devices. The lift chair user can
help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment. It is recommended that at least 3 metres (9 feet) of distance be
maintained between the lift chair and any handheld equipment emitting 10 W or more of output power.
Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the handheld device to determine the maximum output power
of that device.
Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing
and is rated as a Group 1, Class B product, meaning the lift chair uses RF energy only for its internal
function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby
electronic equipment making the lift chair suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic
establishments and hospitals.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops and other types of
radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered
device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating
your lift chair.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can increase
the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your lift chair in any way not
authorised by Pride.
WARNING! Your lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical
devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the lift chair. Contact Aidacare to report the
incident.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Before using your lift chair, make sure your delivery is complete as some components may be packaged
individually. If you do not receive a complete delivery, please contact your authorised Aspire Dealer
immediately. Where damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content, please
contact the delivery company responsible.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
If you will be transporting your lift chair in a motor vehicle, individual components (external transformer,
etc.) should be secured. The lift chair itself must also be secured (a possible hazard during vehicle
braking).
