Classic Lifts
To lower the boom, turn the release valve anti-clockwise. The release valve is progressive,
the more it is opened the faster the descent. The valve is restricted so even when fully
open the descent is controlled. This facility allows for a "hands free" descent.
If the release valve is opened a fraction (a quarter turn) a very slow speed of descent will
allow the carer to work "hands free" while assisting or comforting the patient.
REMEMBER to close the release valve before commencing lifting operations. The release
valve only requires gentle pressure to open or close.
DO NOT apply excessive force to the release valve, either to close or to open. It is
not necessary and will only damage the valve.
11. Slings: The selected sling is attached to the spreader bar hooks. Each sling is supplied
with instructions which should be followed carefully.
The Oxford Classic Lift range is suitable for patients in the SITTING, SITTING/
RECUMBENT and RECUMBENT positions. The core slings suitable for these lifts are
listed as follows:
• Oxford Quickfit
• Oxford Quickfit Deluxe
• Oxford Access
When selecting a sling from the Oxford range, be sure to assess the suitability of the type of
sling for the patient to be lifted by conducting a thorough risk assessment prior to lifting.
NOTE: For detailed fitting instructions, please refer to the user guide supplied with each sling.
Joerns Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly
before each use for signs of fraying or damage. DO NOT use slings that are worn or
damaged.
OXFORD RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE OXFORD PARTS. Oxford sling and
lift products are designed to be compatible with one another. For country specific
guidance on sling use and compatibility, please refer to the sling label or contact
your local market distributor or Joerns Healthcare.
Refer to maximum weight capacity of lift. Sling capacity is limited by the
maximum capacity of the lift.
