OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Leg adjustment The legs on the Oxford/Hoyer Advance are adjustable for width. The legs can be opened to enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating narrow doorways and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position. To achieve the adjustment, the leg adjuster pedal, located at the rear of the base, is compressed right (DOWN) to open the legs outwards and left (UP) to close the legs. The adjustment can be carried out with the patient in the lift, but whether loaded or unloaded the adjustment should be made when the lift is moving.

WARNING Never lift with the legs in the closed/transport position. The closed position is for storage and transport only. 2. Castors and Braking The lift has two braked castors, which can be applied for parking. When lifting, the castors should be left free and un-braked, so that the lift will then be able to move to the centre of gravity of the lift. DO NOT apply the brakes because if the brakes are applied the patient might swing to the centre of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable.

294000.10003 Rev. A

3. Raising and lowering the boom (electric models) The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator, which is controlled by a simple hand control unit. The hand control has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The hand control plugs into a socket at the base of the control box. There is a hook on the rear of the hand control, which allows it to be “parked” on the mast or boom when not in use. 4. Emergency Stop (Electric only) The red Emergency Stop Button is located on the rear of the control box and is activated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the lift and only be reset by twisting the button counterclockwise and releasing. 5. Emergency Lower/Raise Emergency lower/raise buttons are provided at the rear of the control box. This is operated by inserting the tip of a ball point pen into the button highlighted “lower/raise”. This will bring the boom down/up should the hand control fail at any time. 6. Mechanical Emergency Down (Electrical Down) In the case of a complete electrical failure the electric actuator is fitted with mechanical lowering device (RED BOSS). This will only operate when the lift is under load. The device must be pulled upwards to activate and a slow decent will commence. 7. Batteries The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM. This will sound when the batteries need recharging and the hand control is being operated. It will not sound independently of the hand control being operated. CAUTION: DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM. Complete the lifting operation and place the lift on charge (see charging instructions). 8. Raising and lowering the boom (hydraulic models) The raising and lowering of the boom is achieved by a powerful hydraulic ram, which is operated by two simple controls. The release valve, which is identified by a silver star shaped knob, and the pump handle which is a long lever on the side of the hydraulic unit to raise the boom. The valve is closed by gently turning the knob fully clockwise. When closed, pump the long handle with smooth even strokes for maximum effect. The handle strokes from an upright position through an arc of 90 degrees. Leave the handle in the upright position when not in use. DO NOT force the handle beyond the upper or lower stops. The hydraulic unit can be rotated to allow the handle to be used from either side of the lift. To lower the boom, turn the release valve anticlockwise. The release valve is progressive, the more it is opened the faster the descent. The valve is restricted so even when fully open the 294000.10003 Rev. A

English

14

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 caregiver 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. 9. Slings The selected sling is attached to the spreader bar hooks, each sling is supplied with instructions. Please study the instruction guide for the lifter and sling before using. Once the correct sling has been selected for the patient, attach it to the spreader bar hooks.
