2. Introduction: About Your Li
The Oxford Classic Lift range is available with hydraulic or electric powered options with the
exception of the Maxi 180 which is electric only. This manual covers both options.
Each lift is fully assembled, load tested and certied before being partially dismantled for
packing. 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 specically 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
• User Manual
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.
The CE Mark:
Oxford Classic Lifts carry the CE mark and comply with the following EC directives:
• Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC)
• EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) (Electrics only)
• Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) (Electrics only)
Statement of Intended Use:
The intended use of this lifting device is to transfer an individual from one resting surface to
another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person in a sling over extended distances
is not recommended. Oxford Classic Lifts are suitable for patients in the SITTING, SITTING/
RECUMBENT and RECUMBENT positions.
Expected Service Life:
Oxford Classic mobile lifts are designed and tested for a minimum service life of seven (7)
years, subject to the use and maintenance procedures stated in this manual. Use other than in
accordance with these instructions may compromise service life.

3. Assembly and Commissioning Instructions
Place the carton in a clear working area and open carefully. The carton contains:
• Main wheeled chassis • Wallet containing documents
• Mast and boom assembly • Battery charger (electric lifts only)
• Battery pack (electric lifts only) • Hand control (electric lifts only)
1. Remove all the parts from the carton and place on the floor, taking care to protect the
finish from damage.
WARNING
Some of the parts are heavy and will need to be lifted with care. You may need
assistance with the heavier assemblies.
2. Apply the rear castor brakes by pushing the brake levers (Fig. 5) downwards.
3. Fit the mast assembly to the chassis. The mast is located into the rectangular socket on
the top centre of the chassis. (Fig. 5 - manual leg model shown).
WARNING
Avoid trapping fingers. Keep fingers away from the end of the mast when inserting
into the socket.
4. When the mast is fully engaged within the socket, turn the mast locking knob (Fig. 5)

5. Electric Leg Operation: There is some minor assembly required in order to connect the
leg actuator to the leg adjustment mechanism. Gently swing the actuator into place over the
leg pivot bracket ensuring the corresponding holes are in alignment. Insert the clevis pin,
ensuring the plastic wear washers remain in place. To finish, fit the spring clip through the
hole in the clevis pin and confirm secure attachment.
Foot Pedal Leg Operation: If your lift is fitted with foot pedal operated legs, release the
brakes and confirm they open and close satisfactorily by operating the push pedals (Fig. 7).
Hold onto the push handle for stability.

Hydraulic Models Only:
6. Close the hydraulic unit release valve (Fig. 10) by turning the knurled black knob on the
unit fully clockwise.
NOTE: The release valve requires only minimal tightening to operate and should only be
closed finger tight.
WARNING
DO NOT apply excessive force to the release valve knob as this will result in
damage to the valve.
7. Pump the handle (Fig. 10) of the hydraulic unit and confirm the ram raises the boom.
8. Open the release valve fully anti-clockwise and check the boom descends.
NOTE: An unloaded boom will not come down under its own weight, it will be necessary
to apply some pressure to the boom before it will descend.
WARNING
The release valve is fully open and encounters a positive end stop in less than two
full turns of the knob. DO NOT force the valve past the end stop as this will result in
damage to the valve.

4. 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. If in
doubt, contact your authorised Oxford Service Provider or Joerns Healthcare.
• 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 using the handles 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 kilometers/hour 0.8 metres/second).
• DO NOT push the lift over uneven or rough ground, particularly if loaded.
