to a high increase of the lowering speed.

as a back-up when the emergency lowering on
the control unit is not working.
– Do not use the mechanical emergency lowering
repeatedly in close succession.
– Always lower the patient onto a supporting
surface like a bed or a chair.
– After a mechanical emergency lowering was
required, the lift must be checked to resolve
the malfunction of the control unit.
