Please read and follow the safety precautions listed below. The operation and use of Oxford
patient lifts is simple and straightforward. Following these few basic safety precautions will make
lifting operations easy and trouble free.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE USER INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USING THE
OXFORD PRESENCE LIFT
WARNING: Important safety information for hazards that might cause serious injury.
CAUTION: Information for preventing damage to the product.
NOTE: Information to which you should pay special attention.
• ALWAYS plan your lifting operations before commencing.
• ALWAYS carry out the DAILY CHECK LIST (page 22) before using the lift.
• ALWAYS familiarise yourself with the operating control and safety features of a lift
before lifting a patient.
• DO NOT use a sling unless it is recommended for use with the lift.
• ALWAYS check the sling is suitable for the particular patient and is of the correct size
and capacity.
• NEVER use a sling, which is frayed or damaged.
• ALWAYS fit the sling according to the instructions provided (user instructions).
• ALWAYS check the safe working load of the lift is suitable for the weight of the patient.
• ALWAYS carry out lifting operations according to the instructions in the user manual.
• NEVER disconnect or bypass a control or safety feature because it seems easier to
operate the lift.

of gravity.

(3 Kilometers/hour 0.8 meters/second).
• DO NOT push the lift over uneven or rough ground. Particularly if loaded.
• DO NOT attempt to push/pull a loaded lift over a floor obstruction, which the castors
are unable to ride over.
• NEVER force an operating/safety control. All controls are easy to use and do not require
excessive force.

down function is 30 kg.
