3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mackworth SA160E Stand Aid
Before use, you should familiarise yourself with use of the Stand Aid the procedure
for opening / closing the leg sections and raising and lowering the Stand Aid,
including emergency stop/lower and raise functions. Appropriate training in lifting
and handling procedures should be undergone by any person operating a Stand Aid
or sling, for their own and the clients safety and comfort. These instructions are
designed to cover the method of using of the Mackworth Stand Aid .
3.1 To Alter the Leg Width
The legs on the base unit of the Stand Aid are operated by adjusting the leg lever
pedal, as shown in the photo below. To open the legs, press on “open” to close the
legs, press on “close”. Stand Aid manoeuvres can be completed with the legs in
any position.
3.2 Positioning
1. Fit the person to be lifted with a suitable sling. Instruction should be taken in the
fitting of slings to ensure maximum safety and comfort. A full assessment
should be carried out by a qualified person and carers should be trained
in the correct use. (See sling safety)
2. Select the leg position required. Position the Stand Aid near to person to be
lifted. Assuming you are lifting on a level surface do not use the brakes on the
Stand Aid (A documented risk assessment may advise to use the brakes). This
allows the Stand Aid to align its self before lifting. Ensure ALL sling loops are
attached over the safety hooks.
NOTE: It is recommended to only use the brakes when carrying out lifts on / off the
floor, following a risk assessment or when the Stand Aid is not in use & on
charge.
