1. Leg adjustment
The legs on the Oxford Stature are electrically adjustable for width. The legs can be opened to
enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating 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 centre 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 directional 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 activated by pressing
in. This will cut all power to the lift and only be reset by twisting the button anticlockwise and releasing.
