SECTION 8—ACCESSORIES

Weighing the Patient

WARNING

The weight capacity is limited to the lowest rated capacity of any one of the compo- nents in use (e.g. Patient Lift, Sling or Scale). The patient's weight MUST not exceed the lowest rated capacity of any component.

1.Attach sling straps to the swivel bar. For proper attachment instructions refer to Attaching a Sling to the Swivel Bar on page 20.

NOTE: For improved accuracy on the Reliant lifts, attach all sling straps to the center hooks on both sides of the swivel bar. However, patient comfort may require a different configuration of sling straps.

2.Press the ON/OFF key.

WARNING

DO NOT operate key strokes with pointed objects (e.g. pencils, pens, fingernails, etc.) Otherwise damage to the key pad will result.

NOTE: The display will indicate the last weight that was measured. The word ʺLOCKʺ will be seen in the display box.

NOTE: The ZERO key is pressed in order to avoid capturing the weight of the sling and the hardware. If the ZERO key is not pressed the weight of the sling and the weight of the hardware will be included in the weight displayed. NOT ZERO‐ING OUT WILL GIVE A FALSE READING OF THE USERʹS TRUE WEIGHT.

3.Press the ZERO key. When the ZERO key is pushed the following will happen:

A.The scale will reset to zero and the word ʺZEROʺ will appear in the display.

B.The lock function will then be turned off and the word ʺLOCKʺ will disappear from the display.

NOTE: The scale is now active and continually updating the weight display.

4.Place the patient in the sling. For patient placement instructions refer to Operation on page 14.

5.Activate the lift mechanism to raise the patient until they are completely supported by the lift. For patient lifting instructions, refer to Lifting the Patient on page 19.

6.Note the weight display.

7.When the weight display becomes stable press the LOCK button to lock the weight display. This will be indicated by the word ʺLOCKʺ appearing in the display window.

NOTE: Should it be necessary to unlock the weight while the patient is still supported by the lift, the UNLOCK button may be pressed. The weight will unlock and the word ʺLOCKʺ will disappear from the display window. The weight value will then be updated. Once the weight becomes stable the weight can be locked again by pressing the LOCK button.
