5.1 General safety information

WARNING!
Risk of injury or damage
Before using the lift with a patient, refer to the
following safety information and instructions:
– 2 Safety, page 5
– 6 Patient Transfer, page 13

5.2 General operating information

CAUTION!
If the lifting straps are guided incorrectly in the
hoist (e.g. the straps become twisted), the ceiling
hoist will automatically turn off.
– Keep the straps straight to ensure they feed
into the hoist correctly. The straps are held
taught by the weight of the hooks.
– Keep the straps freely suspended when the
unloaded hoist is lifting/lowering.
If a user unintentionally traps the hand
in the lifting strap during lifting, the hoist
will automatically turn off. The hoist stops
immediately when a hand gets in contact with
the strap inlet.
– Keep your hands away from the strap inlet
during lifting.
CAUTION!
The hand control is protected against splashed
water (IPX4). Extended contact with water will
damage the hand control.
– Do not immerse the hand control in liquids,
even for a short time.
– Avoid any contact with water or other liquids.

5.3 Operating the ceiling hoist

The ceiling hoist is in operation mode as soon as a button
on the hand control is pressed.
