Sling Attachment
Standard slings are attached to the hooks on a
spreader bar via webbing straps.
Pivot slings are attached via key-hole buckles to studs
located on the pivoting frame.
Locking Castors
The Omega 230ee / 300ee comes with high quality
locking castors at the rear. These castors are easily
operated by foot and keep the lifter stationary when
required.

Attachment Options
The Safe Working Load (SWL) of the Omega 230ee /
300ee is determined by the stated SWL of the
boom-end attachment.
The lowest stated SWL determines the ultimate load
carrying capacity.
Trouble Shooting
Before trouble shooting ensure that:
• the actuator is not in operation
•
•
the actuator is free from load, and
that maintenance procedures have been
checked and followed.
Trouble shooting should be
performed by someone that is
familiar with both the use and
mechanism of the lifter and
general electrics. If in doubt,
contact your supplier to arrange a
service call.
Mechanical
Spreader Bar
The Spreader Bar is the standard attachment for
general purpose lifters for use with the following
slings:
•
•
•
General Purpose Sling;
•
Hammock Sling
General Purpose Sling with Head Support;
General Purpose Hygiene Sling with Head
Support; and
Spreader Bar Safe Working Load SWL 300kg (660lb)
Pivot Frame/Pivot Sling
The Pivot Frame/Pivot Sling Option allows a patient
to be lifted in either a sitting or lying position. The
frame spreads the sling attachment points to
ensure the patient’s hips are not excessively
flexed, avoiding the discomfort obese patients
sometimes experience with standard slings.
The ability to position a patient in the sitting
posture greatly assists correct seating. The
reclining position is ideal for lifting on or off a bed
or off the floor. The unique additional pivot at the
end of the boom allows the whole frame to be
rocked back and forth.

Lifting Cradle/Frame A Major Service undertaken by an authorised service agent every
12 months is a minimum requirement.
Note: LOAD TEST TO SAFE WORKING LOAD (SWL) ONLY
SWL 230kg (506lb)
The cradle attachment is designed to allow the Omega
230ee / 300ee to lift a patient supported in the PROMED Lifting Frame.
If the cradle is not already attached to the lifter, then the
existing attachment will first have to be removed.
Repairs and Spare Parts
Faulty components or workmanship covered by warranty will be repaired
where appropriate and replaced when necessary. Defects due to mistreatment or neglect will not be covered by warranty but repair can be arranged by
Pro-Med’s authorised agents at the request of the User.
Spare parts are available for purchase and are itemised by part number. The
list and diagrams following allow easy reference to part numbers for ordering:
Removing an attachment
Hold the attachment firmly by one hand and with the
other hand, use the thumb to pull back the release tab
on the boom end of the lifter. Lift the attachment up and
away from the lifter.
Attaching the cradle
Slide the cradle down over the
boom end. The release tab will
click into its location hole when
properly fitted.
Frame
Assemble the frame by locking the two halves together
and place over the patient. If the patient is attached to
apparatus such as drips, monitor, etc, the
unassembled frame needs to be placed around the
patient before assembly.
Gliders - Do not use a glider that is damaged. Pass the single hole end of a
glider under the patient. If skin is exposed, apply talcum powder to the glider
first. Attach to a support peg on the frame at a strategic point. Tension the
glider by selecting the appropriate hole at the glider’s other end. Employ a
sufficient number of gliders to provide a cradle support. It is recommended
that a minimum of 9 standard gliders and 1 head glider be used for patients
exceeding 70kg. Gliders can be fitted diagonally to avoid injured areas.
Similarly, a glider can be left out for toileting or wound dressing.
Removal of Gliders - To release a glider from a stud, pull the glider gently so
that the stud clears the keyhole and lift. Should the glider be difficult to
remove, employ a twising motion.

Features
Lifting a patient supported in a Lifting Frame
Wheel the lifter under the bed of the patient supported
in the Lifting Frame. Lower the boom so that the
elasticised cradle straps will easily stretch to the sides
of the frame. Cradle straps are attached by hooking the
white plastic buckle of each strap over a group of three
studs located on the sides of the Lifting Frame.
Because the human body is slightly top heavy, to achieve a balanced support
of the lifting frame, each cradle strap must be hooked onto the first stud
closest to the head end of the Lifting Frame (see diagram).
For head down (Trendelenburg) lifting, reverse or other combinations can be
used. Be sure that both sides of the Lifting Frame are symmetrical with regard
to cradle strap-stud selection.
Raise the patient with the lifter, checking that he/she is well supported and
comfortable. If not, lower immediately and adjust or add more Lifting Frame
Gliders.

Safety Inspections
Periodic inspections should be performed by a person who is suitably and
properly qualified and well acquainted with the design, use and care of the
hoist.
Inspections should be carried out both routinely (at least as often as specified)
and, as necessary. All defects and damages that have lead to corrective action
should be noted in a log book (see page 45) and signed and dated by the
inspector. Defects and resulting actions should be reported in writing to your
supplier.
If inspection reveals that the safety of the hoist is jeopardised in any way, the
Owner should be notified immediately, the hoist should be taken out of service
and not used again until the problem has been rectified. Contact the supplier

Floor Lift / Frame
USING THE FLOOR LIFT STRAP KIT* IN COMBINATION WITH THE 4 POINT
SPREADER BAR ATTACHMENT
PRO-MED recommends that two carers assist with a floor lift
using a Floor Lift Strap Kit and 4 Point Spreader Bar Combination.
1.
Assemble the Pro-Med Lifting Frame:
3.
LIFTING FRAME #
Assemble lifting frame by locking the two halves together
(see diagram) and place over the patient. If the patient is
attached to apparatus such as drips, monitors etc., the
unassembled frame needs to be placed around the
patient first before assembly.
4.
Lower the boom of the lifter towards the patient
stopping about a metre above the patient, allowing
enough space to attach the straps.
Connect the Floor Lift Straps to the 4 Point Spreader:
Place the BLUE loops over the yoke hooks at the
head end of the lifting frame, and place the RED
loops over the yoke hooks at the foot end of the
lifting frame.
A Guide to Maintenance Procedures
A regular visual check of the hoist and attachments is essential.

# Pro-Med Lifting Frame Safe Working Load: 230kg.
GLIDERS
Caution: Do not use a glider that is damaged.
Pass the single hole end of a glider under the patient. If
skin is exposed, apply talcum powder to the glider first.
Attach to a support peg on the frame at a strategic point.
Tension the glider by selecting the appropriate hole at
the glider's other end. Employ a sufficient number of
gliders to provide a cradle support. It is recommended
that a minimum of 9 standard gliders and 1 head glider be
used for patients exceeding 70kg.
Gliders can be fitted diagonally to avoid injured areas.
Similarly, a glider can be left out for toileting or wound
dressing etc.
Assembling a lifting frame is easier with two people,
one either side of the patient.
2.
5.
Attach the Floor Lift Straps to the Frame
Use the longest straps. Attach keyhole buckles to
the inner most studs at both ends.
Widen the leg base of the lifter and position the lifter
around the head of the frame.
Make sure all gliders, attachments,
and straps are fitted correctly before
lifting the patient.

6.
Lift the frame with the brakes on the lifter ON. One
person is required at the foot end of the lifting frame to
pull, and guide the frame clear of the lifter legs and
electrics during the lift.
NB: The frame will lift on an incline so that the
lifter does not over-balance (i.e. the head end of
the frame will be higher than the foot end). This is
unavoidable.
7.
Raise the lifting frame about one metre off the ground
or until clear of hospital bed. With the assistance of
two carers, rotate frame to 90 degrees.
Maintenance
8.
9.
Adjust the base width of the lifter appropriately
and position the frame slowly over the bed.
Lower the lifting frame until there is no tension on
the straps.

Remove the straps
Remove the patient lifter
Remove the lifting frame from the patient.
REMOVAL OF GLIDERS
To release a glider from a stud, pull the glider
gently so that the stud clears the keyhole and lift. If
the glider is difficult to remove, employ a twisting
motion.
HIGH LIFT MANOEUVRE
A lift from bed-to-bed can be achieved by using the BLUE
loops attached to all hooks on the 4 Point Spreader and the
shorter keyhole buckles straps attached to the frame.
When undertaking a high lift manoeuvre, make sure the
head end keyhole buckles are connected to the outer
most studs. The keyhole buckles at the foot end should
be connected to the inner most stud.
Sling Care
General External Wear - In normal use, this is unavoidable and is shown by a
fluffiness of the surface fibres of fabrics.
Local Abrasion - This may be caused by the passage of webbing over sharp
edges or protrusions whilst under tension.
Cuts, Holes or Burns in the webbing - These are potentially dangerous and
must lead to instant rejection of the product.
Chemical Attack - If contamination is suspected, wash out well in warm water.
Avoid contact with excessive heat which is likely to affect the product.
Examination of Fittings (Buckles, "D" Rings, etc)
Carefully examine buckles for ease of adjustment and absence of sharp
edges or burrs likely to abrade the webbing.
Examination of Stitch Patterns
Examine stitch patterns for broken, worn, pulled or unraveled stitches. Reject
any product where the thread has become subject to excessive abrasion or
broken stitches.
Cleaning
For normal washing and cleaning, follow the care instructions on the label of
the product.
Storage
Slings should be stored away from direct sunlight where they are not
subjected to unnecessary strain, stress or pressure or to excessive heat or
humidity.
Washing Instructions
Mild soap solution only, temp to 85C Max. followed by rinse. Do not use
bleach, cleaning solvents or harsh detergents. Do not iron. Do not dry clean.
Do not tumble dry. Avoid UV light & heat. Do not dry in sunshine. Do not place
on heaters or steam pipes. Do not autoclave. Dry in warm room only.
IF IN DOUBT ABOUT THE CONDITION OF A SLING DO NOT USE IT.

Slings
EMERGENCY STOP function
Sizing
Pressing the EMERGENCY STOP button interrupts the power supply to the
actuators
and causes the actuator to stop immediately. The EMERGENCY OFF switch
should only be used in cases of immediate danger.
Each lifter unit has a sling identification colour code sticker prominently
displayed. Sling straps colour match these for quick selection. Standard
sizes are available for most slings. Each label states the SWL (Safe Working
Load).
Please refer to sling brochure for detailed specifications.
Materials
All PRO-MED slings are manufactured from the highest quality materials
available. Both the mesh and solid fabrics are 100% polyester and are woven
specifically for the application.
Labels
Every Pro-Med sling comes with a sewn on label. Refer to this label if you are
unsure of the style of sling you have. Washing instructions are also detailed
on the label.
Pressing the EMERGENCY STOP
Press the red button (A). The button
engages. The actuator stops and
can no longer be controlled by the
control device while the EMERGENCY STOP button is locked in
position.
Unlocking the EMERGENCY STOP
Turn the red button in the direction of the arrow (B). The EMERGENCY STOP
button is unlocked. The actuator can be controlled as before.
EMERGENCY LOWERING
In contrast to the EMERGENCY STOP button,
the EMERGENCY LOWERING option is
intended for when faults occur. A faulty
control unit can be bypassed using the
EMERGENCY LOWERING button. This
allows electrical lowering (retraction) of
the actu-ator. This is only possible for
actuators on channel 1.
Custom Slings
PRO-MED design and manufacture a comprehensive range of lifting and
support slings. PRO-MED can also make custom slings to meet specific
requirements.
