Safety Precautions 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.

• ALWAYS plan your lifting operations before commencing. • ALWAYS carry out the DAILY CHECK LIST 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 in the user manual. • ALWAYS check the safe working load of the lift is suitable for the weight of the patient.

• ALWAYS carry out lifting 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.

• NEVER force an operating or safety control. All controls are easy to use and do

• • • • • • • • •

not require excessive force to operate. If a control is not working easily there will be a reason. Forcing will only strain or damage the lift and may compromise safety. DO NOT lift a patient with the castor brakes on. DO NOT attempt to manoeuvre the lift by pushing on the mast, boom or patient. ALWAYS manoeuvre the lift with the handle provided. ALWAYS lower the patient to the lowest comfortable position before transfers. DO NOT push a loaded lift at speeds which exceed a slow walking pace (3 Kilometres/hour 0.8 metres/second). DO NOT push the lift over uneven or rough ground. particularly if loaded. DO NOT attempt to push or pull a loaded lift over a floor obstruction which the castors are unable to ride over easily. DO NOT bump the lift down steps, loaded or unloaded. DO NOT attempt to negotiate a loaded lift on a slope which exceeds 1:12 (approximately 5 degrees). Sunrise Medical recommend a second helper is present when moving a patient on a slope. 7

Safety Precautions (cont.) • • • • •

DO NOT park a loaded lift on ANY sloping surface. DO NOT use electric lifts in a shower. DO NOT charge an electric lift in a bathroom or shower room. DO NOT lift a patient unless you are trained and competent to do so. YOUR lift is for patient lifting. DO NOT use it, or allow it to be used, for any other purpose.

Operating a Standaid 140

1. Leg adjustment. The legs on the Standaid 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 handle, located at the rear of the mast, is moved in towards the mast and then sideways from RIGHT (fully closed) to LEFT (fully open). The adjustment can be carried out with the patient in the lift, but loaded or unloaded the adjustment should be made when the lift is moving. 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 unbraked. The Lift will then be able to move to the centre of gravity of the lifting operation. If the brakes are applied it is the patient that will swing to the centre of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable. 3. Straight line steering. The straight line steering device is fitted to one of the rear castors. This makes steering in a straight line easier to achieve. The device is engaged by simply swinging the ‘U’ shaped bar over the end of the leg. The bar will automatically engage as you move off. 4. Raising and lowering the boom. The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator which is controlled by a simple handcontrol unit. The handcontrol has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The handcontrol plugs into a socket at the base of the Controller. There is a magnetic backing to the handcontrol which allows it to be “parked” on the mast or boom when not in use.

5. Emergency Stop. The large, red Emergency Stop Button is located on the Controller and is activated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the Lift and can only be reset by twisting the button anticlockwise and releasing. 6. Emergency Raise/Descent. Emergency raise/descent buttons are provided. These are located underneath the Emergency Stop button. These can be activated by means of inserting a ball point pen tip. This will raise/lower the boom should the handcontrol fail. Caution should be excercised when using this control as there is no automatic cut-out of the actuator when the bottom stop is reached. 7. Batteries. The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM. This will sound when the batteries need recharging and the handcontrol is being operated. It will not sound independently of the handcontrol being operated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM. Complete the lifting operation and place the lift on charge (see charging instructions). 8. Slings. The selected sling is attached to the spreader bar hooks, each sling is supplied with instructions and they are reproduced in this manual. The instructions should be followed carefully. Use only SUNRISE MEDICAL slings, Standing and Transport range.

Charging Instructions For The Standaid 140 The batteries are located in the power pack and are charged through two contacts on the base. When the power pack needs charging it is removed from the lift and fitted to a charging unit. Sunrise Medical Ltd recommend an additional power pack is purchased, so that one pack can be on charge at all times. 1. Remove the power pack from the lift. The pack is retained by a simple latch at the top of the pack. Lift the latch and the power pack will be released. 2. Fit the power pack to the charging unit. The location and latching of the power pack to the charger is the same system as used on the lift. 3. Plug the charger mains plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains supply ON. 4. Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of eight to twelve hours. Note: Even if the charger is left plugged in for extended periods it will not allow the batteries to “overcharge”. 5. To return the lift to service, switch OFF the mains supply and remove the power pack from the charger. Fit the power pack to the lift and make sure the latch holding the pack in place is fully engaged. The charging of Oxford electric lifts is simple and straightforward, but it is important to follow the charging instructions closely. Please pay particular attention to the following points, they will help you avoid problems with discharged batteries.

• KEEP the batteries fully charged. Place the power pack on charge whenever it is not in • • • • •

use. If it is more convenient to do so, place on charge every night. The charger will not allow the batteries to “overcharge”. NEVER run the batteries completely flat. As soon as the audible warning sounds, complete the lifting operation in hand and place on charge. NEVER store the power pack for long periods without regular charging throughout the storage period. ALWAYS make sure the mains power to the charger is switched off before connecting or disconnecting the power pack. NEVER leave the power pack plugged in to the charger with the mains power off. ALWAYS check Battery Charge Indicator (LCD) screen.

How To Fit The Standing Sling

Fig 1 Place sling down behind patient’s back between base of shoulder blades and bottom of rib cage. Attach velcro straps around the front of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It is there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the sling to the Standaid . It may be left off altogether if preferred. Ensure that the patient’s arms are outside the roll.

Fig 2 Position Standaid so that the patient’s feet fit in the foot trays and knees rest against the knee pad. Initially attach the longer loops of the sling to the white hooks at the end of the Standaid hand grips. The patient’s hands should be placed on the hand grips. (Once the patient is used to the lift the shorter loops may be used to achieve a more upright position). Then push UP button on handcontrol to raise the patient to the standing position.

NOTE: This sling is not a general purpose sling and will not be suitable for some patients.

Oxford Standaid 140

How To Fit The Transport Sling

Fig 3 Feed the sling down the back of the patient leaving the top of the commode aperture at the base of the spine. Check the roll part of the sling is square across the patient’s back.

Fig 5 Raise the patient’s leg and feed the leg strap under and up between the legs. Ensure the sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure for the other leg. Attach the loops on the roll parts of the sling to the white hooks at the end of the hand grips.

Fig 4 Attach the velcro strap around the chest of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It is there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the loops to the Standaid. It may be left off altogether if preferred. Ensure patient’s arms are on the outside of the roll.

Fig 6 Without crossing the loops on the leg straps, attach to left and right black knobs on the lifting fork. You would normally use the middle of the three loops. The patient is now ready to be raised from the seat. Once clear of the seat, the patient will be more comfortable if lowered back in to the sitting position.

Sunrise Medical recommends slings are checked regularly and before use for fraying or damage. Do not use slings that are worn or damaged.
