1. Remove all the parts from the carton and place on the floor, taking care
to protect the finish from damage.
2. Apply the brakes on the rear castors of the base.
3. Fit the mast to the base. The mast fits into a rectangular hole in the top
of the base.
4. When the mast is fully engaged with the base, align the holes on the base
and mast with the hole on the foot tray and fully tighten the mast locking knob.
5. The knee pad is adjustable and can be moved up/down, in/out to suit the
client’s needs. Adjust using the black knobs on the back and base of the knee
pad as shown on the illustration (page 6).
6. Remove the screw from the leg opening lever located at the rear of the
chassis. Fit the leg opening handle through the gate on the mast and push the
open end over the leg opening lever. Line up the notch in the handle with the
cross pin in the lever. Retain the handle with the screw removed earlier from
the leg opening lever.
6. Check the legs of the lift open and close satisfactorily.
7. Check the RED emergency stop button located on the controller is in off (out)
position.
8. Fit the handcontrol to the handcontrol socket located at the base of the power
pack.
SAFETY NOTE: Some of the parts are heavy and will need to be lifted with
care. Heavier assemblies may require two people to lift.
SAFETY NOTE: Possible finger trap. Keep fingers away from the end of
the mast when fitting to the base.
SAFETY NOTE: Make sure the mast is fully engaged as indicated by the
label on the side of the mast.

Operating a Student 150
1. Leg adjustment. ThelegsonaStudent150canbeopenedforaccessaround
armchairs and wheelchairs etc. For transferring and negotiating narrow
doorways and passages the legs should be in the closed position. The leg
opening mechanism is located at the rear of the lift and leg adjustment is
achievedbymovingthelegopeninghandletothe leftforopenandtherightfor
closed. It is easier to make the leg adjustment when the lift is moving.
2. Castors and Braking. The Student 150 is provided with 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
takingplace. Withthe brakesreleasedtheliftwill beable tomovetothecentre
ofgravityoftheliftand preventthe clientfrom swingingwhen completelylifted.
Swinging can prove disconcerting and uncomfortable and may even cause
injury.
3. Raising and lowering the boom. The boom is raised and lowered by
a powerful electric actuator controlled by a simple handcontrol unit. The
handcontrol has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN. The
actuator will stop automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The
handcontrol is plugged into a socket at the base of the Controller. The
handcontrol can be hooked on the mast or boom when not in use.
4. Emergency stop. The large, red emergency stop button is located on the
Controller and is activated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the Lift. It
can be reset by twisting the button clockwise and releasing.
5. Emergency raise/descent. Emergency raise/descent buttons are provided.
These are located underneath the emergency stop button. These can be
activated by pushing with a ballpoint pen tip or similar. This will raise or lower
the boom if the handcontrol fails.
Caution should be exercised when using this control as there is no automatic
cut-out of the actuator when the bottom stop is reached.
6. Batteries. The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW
VOLTAGEALARM. This will sound when the batteries need recharging and
the handcontrol is being operated. It will not sound independently of the
handcontrol being operated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM.
Complete the lifting operation and place the Lift on charge (see charging
instructions).
7. Slings. The selected sling is attached to the boom hooks, each sling is
supplied with instructions and they are reproduced in this manual. The
instructions should be followed carefully.
Use only UNIHOIST LTD slings, Standing and Transport range.
