ELECTRICAL WARNING - SHOCK PREVENTION ¾

DO NOT touch or use a lift with bare conductors or a damaged power cord. Electrically live equipment can electrocute a patient. If the lift or charger has any exposed or damaged wires contact your local dealer immediately.

¾

DO NOT cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug. All Voyager lifts are equipped with three-prong plugs to protect from shock hazard or electrocution. Any twoprong electrical outlet must be replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet according to the National Electrical Code and local codes. It is the responsibility of the customer to have the work done by a qualified electrician.

¾

DO NOT splash or expose electric parts of the device to water or moisture.

¾

CHECK nameplate for voltage and cycle requirements. These requirements differ by country. Do not attempt to use the lift in an area that has a different voltage and cycle requirement.

¾

DO NOT attempt to expose, service or repair the lift, battery or charger. If any unit is malfunctioning, contact your local dealer.

¾ .

READ the battery and charger instructions thoroughly before using or storing them

ELECTRICAL WARNING - INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING ¾

Electrical equipment must be installed and maintained in accordance with National Electrical Codes.

¾

Check nameplate for voltage and cycle requirements.

In special locations i.e. bathrooms, showers or swimming pools a supplementary earth bond must be connected at the mains supply socket. Where the Voyager Lift is supplied by a short length of flex from an adjacent power point, the green yellow connection within the flex may be deemed to constitute supplementary bonding. In some regions Local Authorities may specify an additional supplementary earth to the track. This can be taken from any earth terminal on the charger end stop. Refer to a qualified electrician who knows the latest regulations in the installation of this equipment. ¾

ELECTRICAL WARNING - SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Disconnect power cord from the charger rail stopper or switch of transformer at power supply, and unplug the battery from the lift before inspecting, adjusting or servicing the equipment. Disconnect power to equipment if it is to be left unattended or out of service.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION ¾

Batteries may explode, leak and cause personal injury if not disposed of properly.

•

Do not place or store the battery under direct sunlight or near a heat source

•

Do not dispose of in fire

•

Do not short the battery terminals

•

Do not incinerate

•

Flush with water if electrolyte (Acid) comes in contact with skin or eyes.

¾

Batteries must be recycled, disposed of according to local law regulations. When returning batteries, insulate their terminals with adhesive tape, etc. Otherwise, the residual electricity in used batteries may cause fire or explosion.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Always use VOYAGER replacement parts and accessories. Using other parts and accessories other than recommended by BHM/ SUNRISE could affect security and efficiency of the entire system. SUNRISE VOYAGER slings and patient lift accessories are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with BHM patient transfer aids. Sling and accessories designed by other manufactures are not to be used as a component of VOYAGER patient transfer systems.

EQUIPMENT WARNING LABELS INSPECT all precautionary labels on the equipment. Order and replace all labels that cannot be easily read.

TURNTABLE

The BHM Medical Turntable is a first class track junction system. Adding flexibility to the design, its main application is to provide access to two or more rooms while providing a continuous track path. The turntable action is done by an electric, soft and low noise actuator mounted on the unit. The turning action is commanded by pulling once on a simple cord. Rotation will start, automatically come to a stop and lock at the end of its rotation, ready to turn back to its original position on demand. IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER ON THE TURNTABLE +

The turntable is only available motorized

+

An electrical outlet must be found close to the installation to accommodate the turntable

+

The return to charge function on our track lifts must be disconnected.

+

Re-enforcement required to install the turntable
