2. Recommended use
The hoists are designed for moving and lifting patients. They must always be operated by a healthcare professional or a user instructed
in their operation and safety. They are suitable for moving and lifting patients both in domestic settings and at hospitals or residential
homes (depending on the specification of the model).
3. Safety instructions
• Always familiarise yourself with the controls and safety devices on your hoist before using it to lift a patient.
• Use only slings recommended for use with this hoist.
• Always check that the sling is of a type and size suitable for the patient.
• Adjust sling as per the relevant instructions for use.
• Always check that the safe working load of the hoist is sufficient for the weight of the patient.
• Use the hoist only as per the instructions in this manual.
• Never force any control or safety device. All controls are easy to use and do not require any great physical force.
• Move the hoist with care: there is a risk of crushing the feet between the base of the hoist and the floor.
• Do not lift the patient until you have ensured that the patient's hands are kept within the harness, making sure the patient does not
hold on to the actuator or the hoist's mobile joints.
• When lifting or lowering the patient, the attendant and hoist operator must keep his or her hands away from the actuator and the
connecting and turning parts between the arm and the mast.
• To push the hoist along use the push handle on the mast, and never the mast itself, the boom or the patient.
• Before moving a patient ensure that they are comfortable and as close as possible to the floor.
• When transporting a patient never move the hoist at more than 3 kph or 0.8 metres per second.
• Use the hoist only on flat, smooth surfaces.
• Do not try to push the hoist over any obstacle which its front castors cannot easily overcome.
