■Description of the function
The energy your lifter needs for raising and lowering the patient
is provided by a rechargeable battery. The yellow LED at the head
end of the lifter enables you to monitor the state of charge of
the battery. When the manual switch is operated for the upward and
downward movement, the LED can light briefly; this is perfectly
normal. If the LED lights permanently, the battery must be re-
charged as soon as possible.
To do this, grasp the battery box by the handle, remove it from
the bracket on the lifter by tilting it slightly to the rear, and
insert it in the bracket of the charger.
Make sure that the battery box engages properly in the socket and
lay the safety strap across the battery. As soon as the mains
power supply is connected, the green LED at the charger lights to
indicate that power is being supplied to the charger. The red LED
lights as long as charging current is flowing. If the charging
current drops below 40mA during the charging process, the red LED
is extinguished to indicate that the battery is fully charged. The
charging period lasts at least 12 hours. The battery can be re-
charged at any time.
After charging, remove the plug from mains power supply.
The red emergency off mushroom button serves down the lifter
drive.
Pressing the mushroom button brings the switch into the off posi-
tion and fixes it there mechanically. Turning the button clockwise
releases the locking mechanism and the switch turns the drive back
on again. In order to avoid a panic situation with the patient in
the raised position, the small black button can be pressed in or-
der to lower the lifter. This function is only available while the
emergency off button is in the operating position.
Note: The motor and gearing are lubricated for life and re-
quire no maintenance. The lifter column is lightly
greased to allow friction-free operation.
The electrical lifter controller switches off if:
1. There is an overload of more than 1500N.
2. The battery state of charge is very low (yellow LED
lights).
3. Resistance is felt while the lifter is being lowered.
