Charging the battery with lift-mounted battery charger: With control box, battery charger, and battery assembled, insert the battery charger plug into a standard 110V receptacle. A green light signifying power and a yellow light signifying that the battery is charging will illuminate on the battery charger. When the battery is fully charged, the yellow light will shut off. The lift is now ready for use.

Note: The patient lift will not operate during lift-mounted battery charging.

Charging the battery with wall-mounted battery charger: Remove the battery from its bracket on the patient lift by placing your hand on top of the battery, curling your fingers behind the battery, and pulling up on the metal handle. Pull the battery up and toward you to remove. Place the battery on top of the wall-mounted battery charger. A green light signifying power and a yellow light signifying that the battery is charging will illuminate on the battery charger. When the battery is fully charged, the yellow light will shut off. When battery charging is complete, place the battery back on the patient lift. Ensure that the tabs on the battery are fully engaged with the bracket. The lift is now ready for use.

Emergency Procedures (LF1040 only)

Emergency stop: The control box is equipped with a red Emergency Stop button. This button is to be used in the event the hand control ceases to function correctly. To engage, hit the button firmly with the palm of your hand. The button will lock in the depressed position, stopping all motor functions. To disengage, turn the button clockwise, and it will return to its normal position.

Emergency lowering: The motor is equipped with an Emergency Release, which is located on top of the motor as shown in the picture at right. To engage, pull up on the release, which will disengage the gearing in the cylinder, and lower the patient. The emergency release is adjustable by turning the screw adjacent to the pull stem. Turn the screw clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the sensitivity of the release mechanism.

Warning: Use caution when using the emer- gency release. Pull back slowly on the re- lease, which will gradually lower the patient. Pulling back too quickly could cause the patient to be lowered too rapidly, which could result in serious injury. Do not, under any circumstances, use the emergency release for lowering the patient when the hand control and battery are operating correctly. The emergency release should not be used in lieu of the hand control and battery.
