checked for any unusual wear and tear. Refer to the user manual with each piece of supplied
equipment to determine what should be checked. Should anything look unusual then contact your local
dealer prior to use.

Caution: Always check to ensure that when the lift is lowered that it does not come in con-
tact with the person being lifted. Steady the lift with one hand while it is being lowered near an
individual.
Caution: Always make sure that the sling is correctly fitted and adjusted on each side of the
individual so that maximum comfort and safety are achieved prior to lifting. Refer to the
sling instructions that were supplied with the sling.

Step 4)
Caution: The following steps are intended to generally describe the procedure involved in the lifting
and transferring of an individual from one location to another using the lift, track and sling. Track con-
figurations will vary by installation.
The manual for the sling that was purchased with the lift should be reviewed in detail prior to attempt-
ing these steps. Contact your local authorized dealer should you have any questions or concerns.
Caution: Always be cautious when raising or lowering the lift, or moving the lift along the
track. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the patient.
Step 2)
Caution: Always check to ensure that the lift is correctly positioned directly above the per-
son to be lifted. Over time, the lift strap may fray if this is not followed.
P440 Lift-
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual ensure the hand control cord is free of the carry bar
hooks.
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual make sure that the straps of the sling are securely
placed on the carry bar hooks and that the straps will not come off .

Caution: There is a risk for the strap to disengage from the hook, if a sling loop is allowed
to rotate and rest on the latch. Please check to ensure that the loops are on the hook not
resting in the latch. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious injury or
death.
For your safety and the safety of the patient, please always ensure that the sling loops are
correctly positioned on the carry bar hooks. It is suggested to do the check of the sling loops
once there is tension to the sling loops but prior to completely lifting the patient.

“Charging the lift”
Caution: Always use extreme care when removing the lift from the track. Lower the lift such that it is
securely resting on a stable support object such as a dresser, cart or table prior to removal. This may
be performed by either of the following methods:
1) Lower the lift so that the top of the P-440 is just below the surface of the support then lift the P-
440 onto it or;
2) Lower the P-440 on the support then with your spare hand apply gentle tension to the lifting strap
to keep it taut while operating the down function with the other hand, noting this does not require
force or lifting the P-440
Use extreme care when re-locating the lift. Be sure it is securely held during transport.

Caution: Do not operate the lift while it is con-
nected to the charger.
Caution: Do not allow the batteries to become
discharged below the low battery alarm, as this
will decrease overall battery life and performance.
Caution: Use only the charger that was sup-
plied with the lift. Use of any other charger will
void all warranties and may cause damage to the
lift.

Caution: The charger must be located outside
the patient vicinity at all times. The patient vi-
cinity is the space with surfaces likely contacted by
the patient or an attendant who can touch the pa-
tient. This space is 6 feet (1.83m) beyond the pe-
rimeter of the bed, examination table, etc., extend-
ing vertically 7-1/2 feet (2.29m) above the floor.

P440 Lift- User Guide Rev: 12 MAR 2021 Page: 16
Attaching the airline tube to the lift
Should the gray rubber airline that connects the lift to
the hand control become disengaged from the front left
side of the lift it must be re-connected in order for the
lift to work properly.
The rubber airline may become disconnected for the
following reasons:
1) The lift is pulled along the track by the airline.
2) The tubing accidentally gets wrapped around an ob-
ject while a lift or transfer is being performed.
3) It is accidentally pulled out by the caregiver or the
individual being lifted.
The airline is connected to a gray rubber grommet locat-
ed on the front left side of the lift. Refer to figure 15A.
Small metal ribbed pins located at the end of the airline
hold the airline to this rubber grommet in a specific
manner. Therefore it is important to make sure that the
airline is connected properly.
Both the gray airline and the rubber grommet have a
ridge on one of their sides. Align the ridges for proper
connection. Refer to figure 15B. When this is done then
the metal ribbed pins attached to the end of the airline
can be re-insert into the corresponding holes in the rub-
ber grommet located on the front left side of the lift. Be
sure to insert the pins into the gray rubber grommet suf-
ficiently so that it is secure. Refer to figure 15C.
Perform a brief test of the lift to ensure proper connec-
tivity. Turn the lift ON. Raise and lower the lift.
If the lift does not work properly, check to ensure that
the ridges on the gray rubber grommet on the underside
of the lift and the airline tubing are lined up properly. If
they are not lined up properly, then remove the airline,
line up the ridges and then re-insert it into the rubber
grommet. Perform the test as noted in the preceding par-
agraph. If there are still problems with the lift then con-
tact your local authorized dealer for service.
Figure 15A - Gray rubber grommet located on front right side of
the lift. Rubber airline is not connected. Note ridge on grommet.
Figure 15C - Gray rubber airline being inserted into rubber grom-
met of lift. The ridges on both pieces are lined up. The metal
ribbed pins are on the airline.

Metal pins get inserted into the
holes of the grommet of the lift.

Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization

Generally the recommended Preventive Maintenance interval time is annual. Consult your local author-

yearly basis. Generally, in very frequent use (more than an estimated 1000 lifts per year), or in situa-
tions where heavier than normal clients regularly are lifted, the lift should be checked every 6 months.
