4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read and follow the safety precautions listed below. Following these few basic
safety precautions will make lifting operations easy and trouble free.
• ALWAYS check the safe working load of the lift is suitable for the weight of the patient.
• DO NOT exceed the safe working load of the hoist, as an electrical current limiting
device will activate, preventing use of the hoist.
• 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 NOTuse 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 ensure sling straps DO NOT get caught around the legs of the hoist.
• ALWAYS carry out lifting operations 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.
• DO NOTlift a patient with the castor brakes on. Always let the lift find the correct
centre of gravity.
• DO NOT attempt to manoeuvre the lift by pushing on the mast, boom or patient.
• ALWAYS manoeuvre the lift with the push handle, located on the mast. A foot push
pad is also provided on the base of the hoist.
• ALWAYS lower the patient to the lowest comfortable position before transfers.
• DO NOTpush a loaded lift at speeds which exceed a slow walking pace (3 Km/hour
0.8 metres/second).
• DO NOT push the lift over uneven or rough ground. Particularly if loaded.

English
294000.10017 Rev. B
10
• DO NOT attempt to push/pull a loaded lift over a floor obstruction.
• NEVER force an operating/safety control. All controls are easy to use and do not
require excessive force.
• 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.
• 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 (approxi-
mately 5 degrees).
• DO NOTattempt to negotiate a slope without a second helper being present.
• DO NOTuse in a wet or corrosive environment such as poolside locations.
• DO NOT use on extra thick pile carpet when the lift is fully loaded.
• NEVER operate lift with loose/worn or missing parts/fasteners.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING CONTROLS
1. Leg adjustment
The legs on the Oxford/Hoyer Stature are electrically adjustable for width. The legs can
be opened to enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negoti-
ating narrow doorways and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position.
Electric leg adjustment - is achieved by pressing the appropriate buttons on the hand
control. The legs will be locked whenever the hand control switch is released.
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 un-braked. The lift will then be able to move to the
centre of gravity. If the brakes are applied it is the patient that will swing to the cen-
tre of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable. Attached to the
rear castor is a straight line steering device, which when applied to the castor will
facilitate straight line movement.
3. Raising and lowering the boom
The movement of the boom carriage is achieved by a powerful motor gearbox, which is
controlled by a simple hand control unit. The hand control has two buttons with direc-
tional arrows UP and DOWN áâ. The motor gearbox stops automatically at the limit
of travel in both directions. The hand control plugs into a socket at the base of the
control box. SAFETY NOTE– The downward movement of the boom will stop if the lift
senses that the patient has encountered an obstruction.

4. Emergency Stop
The red Emergency Stop Button is located on the front of the control box and is acti-
vated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the lift and only be reset by twisting
the button anticlockwise and releasing.
5. Electrical Emergency Down/Up
Emergency lower (down) and raise (up) buttons are provided at the front of the control
box. This is operated by inserting a ballpoint pen into the button highlighted áâ.
This will bring the boom up or down should the hand control fail at any time.
6. Mechanical Emergency Down
In the case of a complete electrical failure the Stature lift is fitted with mechanical
lowering device. This device is located on the left hand side of the lift’s chassis.
The lowering mechanism is operated by inserting a 6mm Hex socket into the aperture
and onto the mechanism turning clockwise to raise the lift and anticlockwise to lower
the lift. This can be done manually with a socket wrench.
Recommendation!
In order to raise or lower the boom more quickly it is recommended that a 6mm Hex
socket be used in conjunction with a 1/4 inch drive adaptor and an electric reversible
drill. (Note– do not use hammer setting.) This will increase the speed in which the
patient can be safely raised and lowered. A 6mm Hex socket is contained in the top cap
located on the top of the mast.

294000.10017 Rev. B
English 13
NOTE: Before raising or lowering the patient, ensure you have you have planned your destination
carefully. For instance back onto a chair or bed.
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 battery on
charge (see charging instructions).
8. Slings
The Oxford/Hoyer Stature has the option of both a 6 point spreader bar and a 4 point posi-
tioning cradle. Both systems use different attachment methods and slings.
The 6 point system uses slings with webbing loops, which allow positioning adjustment
by selecting different coloured loops. The 4 point cradle uses the Secruri3 safety clip
system and adjustment is made by rotating the 4 point cradle either upward or down.
Loop strap slings: Oxford/Hoyer Quick Fit, Full back, Quick fit deluxe,
Long Seat and Access slings
Safety clip slings: Oxford/Hoyer Four point comfort sling & pad
The 6 point system attaches to the spreader bar hooks via loop straps (shown below),
each sling is supplied with instructions. Please study the instruction guide before use.

6. REMOVAL OF SPREADER BAR/CRADLE SYSTEMS
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY
Your Stature lift has the option of using both a 6 point spreader bar and 4 point posi-
tioning cradle. The removal of either of these systems is completed easily by the use
of a quick-release pin. This is done quickly and easily, but you must read the following
safety instructions to ensure the spreader bar/cradle is safely locked into position
before use.
CONNECTION
To connect, raise the spreader bar/cradle up toward the boom slot.
Insert the pin sleeve through the plastic end cap and to support the spreader bar/cradle.
Once aligned in the boom slot reinsert the quick release pin fully into the sleeve until
it locks into position. YOU MUST CHECK THAT THE PIN IS SECURELY FITTED.
To do this, press your finger into the barbed end. If the pin remains stationary the lift
is safe to use.

REMOVAL
CAUTION: Be sure to support the weight of the spreader bar/cradle before removing pin.
To detach pin, depress the spring barb (using a flat blade electrical screw driver or
similar) and pull the pin out.
Support the spreader bar/cradle, and then pull the pin sleeve in the opposite direction,
removing it completely from the boom. This will release the spreader bar completely.

charger unit.
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OXFORD/HOYER STATURE
When the power pack needs charging it is removed from the lift and fitted to an off
board charging unit.
Sunrise Medical Ltd recommend an additional battery pack is used, 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 power 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.
