1. Introduction: About Your Lift
The Oxford Standaid 140 is fully assembled, load tested and certified before being packed.
The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton and is used for both export and domestic
markets to ensure the safe arrival of the lift.
Recycling of Packaging:
In an effort to reduce levels of waste and environmental impact, Joerns Healthcare operate a free
of charge recycling service in the UK. This is specifically for the foam inserts that accompany the
lift packaging - inside of the carton.
When you are ready to return the foam inserts, simply present them to the Joerns Delivery
Service Driver on their next visit and they will return them to us for recycling.
Accompanying Documents:
A number of documents are supplied in a wallet packed with each lift and should be retained for
future reference.
• Test Certificate • Dealer Guarantee Card
• User Manual • Customer Satisfaction Card
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and is required for your insurance records.
It is valid for 6 months and once expired, the lift should be inspected and serviced for the
following six month period. Servicing and periodic LOLER testing can be carried out by your
supplier. Please ensure your lift is included in their maintenance schedule.

3. Safety Precautions
Please read and follow the safety precautions listed below. The operation and use of
Oxford patient lifts is simple and straightforward. Following these few basic safety
precautions will make lifting operations easy and trouble free.
WARNING
• ALWAYS plan your lifting operations before commencing.
• ALWAYS carry out the DAILY CHECK LIST before using the lift.
• ALWAYS familiarise yourself with the operating control and safety features of a
lift before lifting a patient.
• DO NOT use a sling unless it is recommended for use with the lift.
• ALWAYS check the sling is suitable for the particular patient and is of the correct
size and capacity.
• NEVER use a sling which is frayed or damaged.
• ALWAYS fit the sling according to the instructions provided (user instructions).
• ALWAYS check the safe working load of the lift is suitable for the weight of
the patient.
• ALWAYS carry out lifting according to the instructions in the user manual.
• NEVER disconnect or bypass a control or safety feature because it seems easier
to operate the lift.
• NEVER force an operating or safety control. All controls are easy to use and do not
require excessive force to operate. If a control is not working easily there will be a
reason. Forcing will only strain or damage the lift and may compromise safety.
• DO NOT lift a patient with the castor brakes on.
• DO NOT attempt to manoeuvre the lift by pushing on the mast, boom or patient.
• ALWAYS manoeuvre the lift with the handle provided. DO NOT attempt to apply
additional side force to the boom or legs of the lift in order to manoeuvre the product.
• ALWAYS lower the patient to the lowest comfortable position before transfers.
• DO NOT push a loaded lift at speeds which exceed a slow walking pace (3 kilometres/
hour 0.8 metres/second).
• DO NOT push the lift over uneven or rough ground, particularly if loaded.

Oxford®
Standaid 140

English
• DO NOT attempt to push or pull a loaded lift over a floor obstruction which the castors
are unable to ride over easily.
• DO NOT bump the lift down steps, loaded or unloaded.
• DO NOT attempt to negotiate a loaded lift on a slope which exceeds 1:12 (approximately
5 degrees). Joerns Healthcare recommend a second helper is present when moving a
patient on a slope.
• DO NOT park a loaded lift on ANY sloping surface.
• DO NOT use electric lifts in a shower.
• DO NOT charge an electric lift in a bathroom or shower room.
• DO NOT lift a patient unless you are trained and competent to do so.
• Your lift is for patient lifting. DO NOT use it, or allow it to be used, for any other purpose.

5. Operating Instructions
1. Leg adjustment: The legs on the Standaid are adjustable for width. The legs can be
opened to enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating
narrow doorways and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position. To achieve the
adjustment, the leg adjuster handle, located at the rear of the mast, is moved out, away from
the mast and then sideways from RIGHT (fully closed) to LEFT (fully open). The adjustment
can be carried out with the patient in the lift.
2. Castors and braking: The lift has two braked castors which can be applied for parking.
When lifting, the castors should be left free and unbraked. The lift will then be able to move
to the centre of gravity of the lifting operation. If the brakes are applied it is the patient that
will swing to the centre of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable.
3. Straight line steering (where supplied): One of the rear castors is fitted with a straight
line steering device. To engage the device simply swing the ‘U’ shaped bar over the end of
the leg. There is no need to fit the bar over the castor as it will automatically engage as you
move off.
4. Raising and lowering the boom: The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful
electric actuator which is controlled by a simple hand control unit. The hand control has two
buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN. The actuator stops automatically at the limit
of travel in both directions. The hand control plugs into a socket at the base of the control
box. There is a magnetic backing to the hand control which allows it to be “parked” on the
mast or boom when not in use.
5. Emergency stop: The red emergency stop button is located on the control box and
activated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the lift and can only be reset by twisting
the button clockwise and releasing.
6. Emergency raise/lower: The Oxford Standaid is fitted with raise and lower buttons on the
control box. These are located underneath the emergency stop button and can be used to
lower/raise the patient should the hand control fail.
NOTE: These buttons should only be used in the event of an emergency.
7. Batteries: The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM.
This will sound when the batteries need recharging and the hand control is being operated.
It will not sound independently of the hand control being operated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS
WARNING ALARM. Complete the lifting operation and place the lift on charge (see charging
instructions).

8. Slings: The selected sling is attached to the spreader bar hooks. Each sling is supplied
with instructions which should be followed carefully.
The Oxford Standaid is suitable for patients in the SITTING position. The slings suitable for
these lifts are listed as follows:
• Oxford Standing Deluxe • Oxford Transport Deluxe
When selecting a sling from the Oxford range be sure to assess the suitability of the type of
sling for the patient to be lifted. The following guides will assist in the correct selection.
NOTE: For detailed fitting instructions, please refer to the user guide supplied with each
sling.
WARNING
Joerns Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly
before each use for signs of fraying or damage. DO NOT use slings that are worn or
damaged.
WARNING
OXFORD RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE OXFORD PARTS. Oxford sling and
lift products are designed to be compatible with one another. For country specic
guidance on sling use and compatibility, please refer to the sling label or contact your
local market distributor or Joerns Healthcare.
WARNING
Refer to maximum weight capacity of lift. Sling capacity is limited by the maximum
capacity of the lift.
NOTE: For further guidance on sling selection, please visit www.joerns.co.uk.

6. Charging Instructions
The batteries are located in the power pack and are charged through two contacts on the base.
When the power pack needs charging it is removed from the lift and fitted to a charging unit.
Joerns Healthcare recommend an additional power pack is purchased, so that one pack can be
on charge at all times.
1. Remove the power pack from the lift. The pack is retained by a simple latch at the top of the
pack. Lift the latch and the power pack will be released.
2. Fit the power pack to the charging unit. The location and latching of the power pack to the
charger is the same system as used on the lift.
3. Plug the charger mains plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains supply ON.
4. Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of eight to twelve
hours. NOTE: Even if the charger is left plugged in for extended periods it will not allow the
batteries to “overcharge”.
a) Green Light - Indicates main power is on.
b) Yellow Light - Indicates battery is charging.
c) Battery will be fully charged when yellow light goes off.
NOTE: Charging will take up to four (4) hours. It is recommended that the battery be
charged immediately upon receipt.
5. To return the lift to service, switch OFF the mains supply and remove the power pack from
the charger. Fit the power pack to the lift and make sure the latch holding the pack in place
is fully engaged.
The charging of Oxford electric lifts is simple and straightforward, but it is important to follow
the charging instructions closely. Please pay particular attention to the following points, they
will help you avoid problems with discharged batteries.
WARNING
To avoid possible permanent damage to the battery, the battery should be placed on
charge as soon as the display indicates the half empty battery symbol.
KEEP the batteries fully charged. Place the power pack on charge whenever it is not
in use. If it is more convenient to do so, place on charge every night. The charger will
not allow the batteries to “overcharge”.
