patient lift instructions
The Swivel Bar (E) is made with hooks on both ends
to accept the sling that supports the patient during
lift. The Swivel Bar is attached to the Boom (D) by
the mounting bracket and hardware supplied.
The Boom is raised or lowered by the controls of
the Pump Assembly (F).
The Mast (C) includes the steering handles used to
move and guide the lift. This mast is supported in
a socket in the rear center of the Castered Base
(A). For transporting the lift in a vehicle, the mast,
boom, and pump assembly may be lifted from
the base socket for storage. When the mast is
returned to the socket of the base, care should be
used to be sure that the mast is pushed as far as
possible down into the socket and rotated slightly
until it locks in the center position. The bottom of
the mast tube is grooved on either side and those
grooves seat on a cross pin in the base socket
to prevent any rotation of the mast during the lift
procedure. Secure the mast to the base by securely
tightening the screw located at the rear of the
base.
There are two controls on the Pump Assembly: The
Pump Handle (G) and the Control Valve (H). With
the control valve closed, the pump handle is moved
up and down with even pressure, to raise the boom
and with a patient in a sling attached to the swivel
bar, they would be elevated by this operation. The
boom is lowered by opening the control valve; mov-
ing the control valve away from the pump handle.
A safety gate is part of the hydraulic system that
prevents sudden lowering of the boom regardless
of how far the control valve is opened.
The Shifter Handle (B) is used to open the legs of
the base fro stability before lifting a patient. The
base legs should be locked in the maximum open
position at all times when a patient is on the lift.
To open the base legs, grasp the shifter handle
in one hand and place the opposite hand on the
steering handle of the mast for balance. Move the
handle to your right to release the lock pin, then
bring the handle towards you in a complete half-
circle. The lock pin should insert into a hole in the
plate to lock the legs in full open position and the
shifter handle should once again be vertical. To
close the legs to a narrow position for storage,
reverse this above procedure. If the shifter handle
is not vertical (straight up and down), the lock pin
is not seated in place.

NOTEHYDRAULICPUMP
1. Use pump to raise boom to position for lifting
patient.
2. DO NOT lift up on end of boom to position for
lifting patient as this causes air to be drawn in
under ram, preventing pump from lifting when
handle is pumped.
3. Do NOT press down hard on handle when bottom
of stroke is reached.
4. It is a common occurrence after a few hours
of non-use for the boom to lower with no weight
suspended from the end of the boom. This does
not indicate a faulty pump but is a trait common to
hydraulic equipment.
5. If trouble develops with the hydraulic pump,
remove it and call your Drive Medical Supplier
to receive an RMA. Provide serial number and date
purchased. Do not attempt to lift someone with a
faulty hydraulic pump.
WARNING
Do not wash slings with bleach. Bleach will damage
material. Sling can suffer damage during washing and
drying.
WARNING
Always check slings before use. Bleached, torn, cut,
frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in
serious injury or death to patient. Destroy and discard
worn slings. Do not alter slings.
