HOIST SAFETY ADVICE
8

1. Castors & Braking - The hoist has two braked castors at the rear of the base. The brakes should
only be applied when the lift is parked. The brakes should always be released when a lifting
operation is taking place.
2. Leg Opening & Closing - The hoist legs can be opened for access into and around riser recliner
chairs, wheelchairs etc. The legs should be closed when transferring and negotiating narrow
doorways and confined spaces. You can operate the leg opening device by pressing down onto
the pedal, this will activate the opening or closing mechanism.
3. Emergency Stop Button - The big red emergency stop button located on the front of the control
box is activated by pressing the button in. Note:- This will cut all power to the hoist. It can
easily be reset by twisting the button clockwise and releasing.
4. Raising & Lowering The Boom - The boom can be raised and lowered by the powerful
10,000n motor, this is activated by a hand set that has direction arrows indicating up and down
movement. The hand set is plugged into the base of the control box. The actuator will stop at
the end of each full stroke.
5. Battery - The battery is protected from full discharge by a low voltage alarm & illuminated
LED (this can vary pending the model of control box used). This will sound or illuminate
when the battery need recharging. Complete the lift and and place on charge. Do not ignore
this warning! See charging a battery on page .

& Control Box

There are a number of batteries located in the power pack / battery housing. They are charged
through a shaver type socket in the base of the control unit. When charging is required the 3 pin
mains lead is plugged into a wall socket and the shaver type socket goes into the base of the
control box.
1. Fit the mains power lead shaver type socket in the base of the control box.
2. Plug the charger mains plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains supply on.
(The RED Emergency Stop button has to be out for the battery pack to charge)
3. Charging the battery is automatic and will normally take eight to twelve hours to fully charge.
(You can not overcharge the batteries if left for long periods of time).
4. To return the hoist to use, switch off the mains supply. Remove the shaver type plug from the
socket at the base of the control box. The hoist is now ready for use.
To avoid any problems with discharging batteries, the following points should be paid
attention to:-
● Keepthebatteriesfullycharged.
● Thebatteriesshouldneverbeallowedtoruncompletelyflat.
● Thepowerpackshouldneverbestoredforlongperiodsoftimewithoutaregularcharge.
● Donotleavethepowerpackpluggedintothechargerwiththemainspoweroff.
● Regularlycheckthebatterychargerindicator,thiswillbeonthecontrolboxorhandset.

and closing of the legs. Check the steel leg linkages are secure. Adjust the steel linkages if
necessary to align the legs. Check all the screws in the under-carriage are secure, if loose secure
with Loctite®.
8. BATTERY PACK: Check the functionality of the emergency stop button. Inspect all male and
female sockets for correct fitting. Inspect the hand control functionality.
