4. USE
4.1. FIRST USE
The battery delivered with the Vertic2 is fully charged so that you can start using the hoist immediately.
However check the hoist has been assembled properly as explained in paragraph 3, and try it without a
patient to get familiar with its use and functions.
4.2. VERTIC 2 USE
4.2.1 Sling installation and operating :
Reminder : Sling is adjustable. User is responsible for adjusting it in order to not hurt the patient. Vertic2 is
delivered with its sling. See the user instruction bellow.
4.2.2 Transferring the patient:
While the patient is seated on a chair, armchair or on the edge of electrical bed:
1/ Bring the Vertic closer and place the patient’s feet on the foot rest.
(depending on the situation and layout of the space available, narrow or widen the
side feet to get close to the patient)
2/ Adjust the leg-rest up or down to block the patient’s shins against it (pull the
locking screws on each side of the pole)
3/ Lock brakes
4/ Set up the sling
5/ Press the up button on the handset ()to lift up the main pole (make sure the sling is
not stuck and does not injure the patient while doing this).
6/ Unlock brakes to transfer the patient.
7/ Press the down button () to bring the patient down.
A

3/ fasten the belt around the patient’s belly.
4/ Attach snap hook A to one of the C rings
5/ Attach snap hook B to one of the D rings

15
VERTIC 2 user guide
Version 07/2020
4.3. SAFETY
crushing safety: Vertic 2 runs with a single-acting actuator. Any obstacle on its way will automatically stop its
going-down.
Emergency stop : the Vertic 2 emergency stop button is located on the control
box. Push it to stop the lifting or going-down. Push it again to unlock it.
Electric safety : lifting and going-down are locked when Vertic2 is connected to charge battery.
Emergency going-down (only use when patient is stuck above and that it is impossible to go down using the
remote control) : There are two actuator release systems:
1/ Electrical release :
To go down, push the blue switch located under the emergency stop.
2/ Manual release :
Push down (1) and turn to the right (2) the red ring of the actuator.
This function can be used if the electrical system is not efficient.
4.4. CONTROL BOX OPERATING, BATTERY CHARGE :
If the charging level is too weak, an alarm sounds (in a constant way) when the control box is activated. The charging of
the battery is then necessary.
The control box has its own integrated charger. To charge batteries, connect the control box to the 220 VAC
main power line, until the green led turn on indicating batteries are charged (approximately 12 hours).
The Vertic 2 must be connected to a network which is in accordance with the NFC 15-
100 and NFC 15-211 ( 230 V Electric plug + ground connection) for France and CEI 364
for other destinations.
Make sure that the power supply of the control box (you can find it on the label), is in
accordance with the establishment power supply.
It is advisable to connect the device on a power fitting protected by a differential circuit
breaker of 30 mA Maximum, in accordance with the CEI 364-5-53 publication.
A third person must assist the patient during the
entire emergency going-down process.

16
VERTIC 2 user guide
Version 07/2020
Warning, the loading of the batteries works only if the emergency button is out of power (put it on the position
‘on’ to load the batteries).
To make batteries last longer, they must be recharged every night.
4.5. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not expose to moisture.
Store in a temperate dry place (5°C to 40°C).
Charge battery before using it after a long time off.
Handling and stocking of the lift has to be done in order to avoid any impact, falling or damage of the material.
5. VERTIC2 MAINTENANCE
5.1 WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Sling :
Check the sling by looking at its seams condition: immediately replace a sling that starts to show any tear.
Electrical parts:
Test the emergency stop switch while lifting and lowering the support beam.
Look at the electrical cables cover.
Test crushing safety system by placing an item on the support beam going-down way.
Chassis :
Check the brake of the back wheels.
Look at the global geometry on the Vertic2 (no bent item).
Make sure that the 4 wheels are well positioned on the ground.
Make sure that there is no play between the support beam and the pole.
Sling cleaning instructions:
