oughly read the instructions in this Owner's

Raising/Lowering Manual/Hydraulic Lift

Invacare does NOT recommend locking
of the rear casters of the patient lift when
lifting an individual. Doing so could cause
the lift to tip and endanger the patient
and assistants. Invacare DOES recom-
mend that the rear casters be left UN-
LOCKED during lifting procedures to al-
low the patient lift to stabilize itself when
the patient is initially lifted from a chair,
bed or any stationary object.
There are two (2) controls on the pump
assembly:
a. The control valve
b. The pump handle

RAISING THE LIFT.

The control valve MUST be in the CLOSED position
(control valve positioned towards pump handle) to move
the pump handle up and down to elevate the boom
and the patient.
