SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
For safety precautions only properly trained personal should use the hoist.
1. The KH 407 hoist is manufactured and tested with safety and function for the carer and
patients as the utmost importance. No parts should be removed from the hoist without
approval as this may create an unsafe working condition.
2. The MAXIMUM safe working load is 225 Kg’s. Always use the correct slings on the hoist.
3. EMERGENCY STOP
This is the big RED switch, located on the front of the controller. If there is a need to use
this, simply depress the switch and it will automatically lock the position and cut all power to
the electrical system. To disengage the emergency stop switch after it has been
depressed, turn the switch in a clockwise direction and the switch should return to its
original position.
4. EMERGENCY LOWERING/RAISING:
The emergency lowering/raising buttons can be used to lower/raise the hoist if there is an
electrical or handset failure. The switches are located on the controller under the big red
emergency stop switch. Simply press, using a ball point pen or similar object.
5. The hoist should not be used on rough or sloping surfaces. ie. Wheel chair ramps etc, and
does not recommend that the hoist be used outdoors.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. INSTALLATION OF BATTERY PACK.
2.
Before the HOIST can be operated the battery pack will need to be placed on
charge (See 2.1.2 - For Charging Battery). Minimum 4 hours for flat battery.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove the battery from the charger and
place on the hoist. Simply locate the battery on the mounting bracket and clip the
release lever into the secure position. The Twin Boom is now ready for use.

3. HANDSET:
2.1 RAISE/LOWER:
The hoist operates via a touch pad handset. The top two switches on the
handset are for raising and lowering. To raise or lower the hoist, simply
press the required switch on the pad. (Fig 4)
Fig 2
2.2 LEG GATING:
To OPEN or CLOSE the “Gate” on the legs, simply press the lower two
switches on the handset. (Fig 2 shows the lower sets of switches are for the
leg “gate”). Open on the left, close on the right.
3 HOOK ON ATTACHMENTS eg :-YOKE (Fig 3)
Refer to the fitting instructions supplied with your chosen sling
.
Fig 3 Fig 3A
Fig 3A is the hook, release the top pin and raise the attachment to remove it.
IMPORTANT: PIN MUST ENGAGE SO ATTACHMENTS DON’T COME OFF WHEN
IN USE.
4 BATTERY CARE AND CHARGING:
4.1 CHARGING:
Before the hoist can be operated the battery pack will need to be charged.
Please follow the instructions below.
4.2 Plug the charger unit (Fig 4) into the 240 Volt supply outlet. The unit is now
ready to accept a battery that requires charging, a GREEN L.E.D. (ON) will
be displayed.
4.3 To charge the battery, simply locate the battery on the mount bracket and
clip into position. (The GREEN and ORANGE L.E.D. on the front of the
charger will be displayed). The battery is fully charged when the ORANGE
L.E.D. is OFF and only the GREEN L.E.D. is displayed .

4.4 If a two battery system is going to be used, replace the first battery once
charged, with the second battery. Charge using the same procedure as
above.
NOTE:
A battery pack may remain on charge indefinitely without any detrimental effects to
the battery or charging unit.
Fig 4 Charger unit shown without battery attached.

BATTERY CARE:
The hoist uses fully sealed lead acid batteries. They are designed to be recharged
on a regular basis. To care for your batteries and obtain the maximum life DO NOT
allow the batteries to run totally flat before recharging.
The controller is fitted with an audio low battery warning alarm. When this
warning alarm sounds complete the lift process, then change the battery and
recharge. Kerry Equipment recommends that a 2-battery system be used, this
allows one battery to always be on charge while the other is in use, hence the hoist
may never be out of service with a flat battery.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
LUBRICATION
The hoist requires periodical lubrication. These points are:
1. CASTORS
It is always best practice to remove all hair and lint from the castors as soon as possible,
always allowing free movement of all the wheels.
The castors need to be lubricated monthly (Use TAC-2 only). This involves: -
1.1 The Castor head bearing will need lubricating. Simply spray TAC-2 up into the
bearing while rotating the castor (Fig 5).
1.2 The wheel also requires lubricating every couple of months. To do this the
wheel must be unbolted and removed from the castor frame. TAC-2 can
then be sprayed into the hub centre to lubricate the internal bearings (Fig 6).

2. BASE PIVOT POINTS
All pivot points will need to be lubricated with TAC-2 or similar lubricant. Simply
spray for 2 seconds on each side of the recommended points monthly.
The hoist has to be turned onto its side for access to the following lubrication points.
(To do this 2 people are required.)
Follow the instruction below:
2.0.1 Both people are to stand on one side of the hoist. One near the push
handle, the other by the side of the hoist.
2.0.2 The person near the push handle locks the total lock castors.
2.0.3 In conjunction with one another pull the hoist towards the side, lowering the
hoist onto its side on the floor.
2.0.4 The hoist can lie on its side without damage to the plastic cover, but care
must be taken when lowering/raising.
You now have access to all the lubrication points. ie: pivot points, leg lever
and leg pivot. Simply spray TAC-2 on all the pivot points for 2 seconds.

Tie Rod Pivot Points (Fig 7)
3. ARM AND ACTUATOR PIVOT POINTS
The arm pivot points will need to be lubricated with TAC-2 or similar lubricant.
Simply spray for 2 seconds on each side of the recommended points monthly.
