The C450/ C625 is designed to be used in conjunction with Waverley Glen lift track, accessories and slings. Please refer to any user guides supplied with these components and refer to them while reviewing this manual. Should any questions arise from reviewing this manual contact your local authorized Waverley Glen dealer. Failure to comply with warnings in this manual may result in injury to either the operator, or the individual being lifted/transferred. Damage to the lift and/or related components may also occur. Be sure that the contents of this manual are completely understood prior to using this piece of equipment. Store this manual with the documents included with the lift system and sling (s). Contents of this manual are subject to change without prior written notice.

Overview of C450/ C625 lift system The C450/ C625 is a lifting aid used by health care professionals and those providing care in the home to lift, position and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The C450/ C625 lift is part of what is termed ceiling lift technology which takes advantage of lifting from above and not from below or the side. Additionally the ceiling lift does not take up valuable floor space as most traditional methods do. Finally, the ceiling lift makes it possible to move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete safety, dignity and comfort for the client or family member. The C450/ C625 lift is one of three major components that make up this technology. The other two components are the track and sling. The C450/ C625 lift runs on the lift track which is securely mounted to the ceiling structure of the institution, or home with the use of ceiling brackets. The track itself is made of specially designed aluminum and comes in many different shapes, lengths and configurations, and is custom tailored and installed to meet your specific requirements. The third component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the lift by means of a carry bar and straps, and holds an individual while the lift, positioning or transfer takes place. Both the track and sling are generally supplied with the lift at the initial time of purchase. Please refer to any user guides supplied with the C450/ C625 lift and reference them while reviewing this manual. The C450/ C625 is a fixed ceiling lift, that is, it always remains on the lift track. It has the ability to lift an individual up from one location such as bed, move the individual along the track to another location and finally lower the individual into a chair or bath. It is moved along the track in one of two ways. The first is by manually moving the lift along the track with the aid of a caregiver. The second is by having the lift power itself along the track. The functions of lifting up or down, or moving to the left or right, are accomplished by pressing buttons of a pneumatically (air) operated hand control. The hand control is attached to the lift by way of a rubber airline tubing. Due to the design of the lift system, it takes very little effort to press a button to perform the desired motion. Please refer to figures 1A and 1B to see sample floor plans of an installed lift system. Refer to figures 2A and 2B to familiarize yourself with the components of the C450/ C625 lift. Figures 3A and 3B show the underside view of the lift as it would be seen by an operator. C450/ C625 - User Guide

Attaching the airline tube to the lift Caution: A sturdy ladder may be required in order to access the underside of the lift to re-attach the rubber airline of the lift. Caution should be used when this is required. Should you have any concerns or questions contact your local authorized Waverley Glen dealer.

Should the gray rubber airline that connects the lift to the hand control become disengaged from the underside of the lift it must be re-connected in order for the lift to work properly. The rubber airline may become disconnected for the following reasons:

Figure 13A - Black rubber grommet located on underside of lift. Rubber airline is not connected. Note grey rib on grommet.

1) The lift is pulled along the track by the airline. 2) The tubing accidentally gets wrapped around an object while a lift or transfer is being performed. 3) It is accidentally pulled out by the caregiver or the individual being lifted. The airline is connected to a black rubber grommet located on the underside of the lift. Refer to figure 13A. Small metal ribbed pins located at the end of the airline hold the airline to this rubber grommet in a specific manner. Therefore it is important to make sure that the airline is connected properly.

Metal pins that get inserted into the holes of the grommet of the lift.

Pieces connected together

Figure 13C - Gray rubber airline being inserted into rubber grommet of lift. The black ribs on both pieces are lined up. The metal ribbed pins are on the airline. C450/ C625 - User Guide

Both the grey airline and the rubber grommet have a grey rib on one of their sides. Line up the grey ribs together. Refer to figure 13B. When this is done then the metal ribbed pins attached to the end of the airline can be re-inserted into the corresponding holes in the rubber grommet on the underside of the lift. Be sure to insert the pins into the grey rubber grommet sufficiently so that it is secure. Refer to figure 13C. Perform a brief test to ensure proper connectivity. Turn the lift ON and OFF. Raise and lower the carry bar. For motorized traverse lifts move the lift left and then right. If these functions work correctly then the airline is properly connected. If the lift does not work properly, check to ensure that the grey ribs on the grey rubber grommet on the underside of the lift and the airline tubing are lined up properly. If they are not lined up properly, then remove the airline, line up the grey lines and then re-insert it into the rubber grommet. Perform the test as noted in the preceding paragraph. If there are still problems with the lift then contact your local authorized dealer for service.

YELLOW UE BL

The lift is normally parked at the charging station end of the track when not in use. It can be moved along the track to a position directly above the person to be lifted in one of two ways. If you have a manually traversing lift lower the carry bar to a comfortable height such that it can be easily grabbed by your hand. Move the lift along the track by gently pushing the carry bar, or individual in the sling. Never pull the lift along the track.

If you have a motorized traversing lift, use the blue or yellow colored directional hand control buttons to move the lift. The blue and yellow buttons correspond to the blue and yellow directional arrows on the underside of the lift. The direction therefore that is taken is determined by the color of the button that is pressed. This works the same no matter what side of the lift a person is standing on. Refer to figures 6A, 6B and 6C. Figure 6C - Directional arrows on underside of lift

SUPPORT CHARGING TRACK LOCATION (BOTH SIDES) CHARGER BEDROOM

Figure 7A - Sample of “H” system room covering layout. Note that the lift can be moved along the traversing beam, and that the traversing beam itself can be moved along the two parallel support tracks. The actual direction of travel when the hand control buttons are pressed may be different than shown, since the track and lift orientation may be different than installed. .

If the installed track is an “H” system then this section should be reviewed as it describes how to move the traversing beam. If the installed track is not an “H” system then this section can be skipped. The “H” system involves the installation of two parallel support tracks and one traversing beam that is mounted perpendicular to the two support tracks. Refer to figure 7A. The benefit of this type of system is that it provides greater movement and positioning ability for an individual since the floor space coverage area is much higher than for a single piece of track. Besides the previously described UP/DOWN movement of the carry bar, and LEFT/RIGHT movement of the lift, the “H” system adds the ability to move the traversing beam anywhere along the length of the two parallel support tracks. Refer to figure 7A.

This can be accomplished in one of two ways. If the installed “H” traversing beam is manually traversing then the beam is moved along the support tracks by manually moving the beam, lift, and individual in one motion. This movement is the same as that used for a manual traversing lift, as previously described. Figure 7B - Power traverse “H” system hand control showing traversing beam movement buttons. Button colors correspond to the black and white directional arrows located on the underside of the lift.

If the installed “H” system traversing beam is motorized traversing then the beam is moved along the support tracks by pressing either the black or white hand control button. Refer to figure 7B. This will move the beam in the direction of travel as noted by the black [▼] and white arrows [▲]located on the underside of the lift. Refer to figure 7C. Figure 7C - Directional arrows on underside of power traverse “H” system lift. Black and white arrows show traversing beam direction of travel when the corresponding colored button is pressed on the hand control.

Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the traversing beam. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or damage to the lift/track.

Return To Charge (If Equipped)

If your motorized, traversing lift has a return-to-charge feature (RTC), pressing & holding the blue and yellow colored directional hand control buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds (to produce beeping noise) will automatically retract the lift’s carry bar and drive the lift along its track until it docks at the charger. Note that the RTC feature has several characteristics that may be altered to the user’s preference: RTC Max. Time may be set anywhere from 60 sec to 240 sec in 60 sec increments and represents the maximum time allowed for the lift to travel to and dock at the charger before aborting the operation. RTC Drop Time may be set anywhere from 9 sec to 24 sec in 3 sec increments and represents the time the lift devotes to lowering the carrybar upon docking at the charger. RTC Speed may be set to 2, 4, or 8 and represents the relative speed the lift travels at to reach the charger. Contact your Service Technician to change these settings.

Basics in transferring an individual Caution: The following steps are intended to generally illustrate the procedure involved in the lifting and transferring of an individual from one location to another using the lift, track and sling. Track configurations will vary by installation. The manual for the sling that was purchased with the lift should be reviewed in detail prior to attempting these steps, as the sling illustrated here may not be the same as the one that was purchased. Contact your local authorized Waverley Glen dealer if you have any questions or concerns. Step 1) Move the lift away from the charging station or current location and close to the individual that is to be transferred. Use the procedures for up and down and moving along the track as described in the sections titled, “Raising/lowering the lift” and “Moving the lift along the track”. Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the lift along the track. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or damage to the lift/track. Step 2) Prepare the individual being transferred with the appropriate sling. Refer to the instructions supplied with the sling that was purchased on how to properly outfit an individual with a sling. Caution: Always make sure that the sling is correctly fitted and adjusted on each side of the individual so that maximum comfort and safety are achieved prior to lifting. Step 3) Once the individual has been outfitted with the sling, move the lift so that it is positioned directly over the individual. Lower the carry bar to a height so that the straps of the sling can be easily attached to the carry bar. Caution: Always check to ensure that the lift is correctly positioned directly above the person to be lifted. Over time, the lift strap may fray if this is not followed. Caution: Check to ensure that the carry bar has no cuts, dents or sharp edges that may come in contact with the straps of the sling and cause damage to them. Report any concerns to your local authorized dealer. Step 4) Attach the straps of the sling to the hooks of the carry bar. The straps on each side of the sling are generally attached to the corresponding side of the carry bar. Be sure to double check to ensure that the straps are properly attached to the carry bar, and that the individual being lifted is properly positioned in the sling prior to lifting. Caution: Prior to lifting an individual make sure that the straps of the sling are securely placed on the hooks of the carry bar. Step 5) The individual may now be raised with the use of the UP button on the hand control. While lifting is in progress the height required in order for the transfer to be completed safely should be closely observed. Ensure that the individual being lifted will not be injured by any obstructions during the initial lifting. Caution: Always use caution when lowering/raising an individual who is in the sling of the lift. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual, or damage to the lift. C450/ C625 - User Guide

Basics in transferring an individual … continued Step 6) Once at the correct height the individual can be moved along the track to the desired location. Refer to the sections already described in this manual on how to move the lift along the track

Step 7) Once at the desired location the individual in the sling can be lowered/raised to the correct height in order to complete the transfer. On completion of lowering/raising ensure that the individual is properly positioned and safely supported prior to removing the straps of the lift from the carry bar. Caution: Prior to removing the straps of the sling from the carry bar be sure to check that the individual being lifted is securely supported in the final desired position.

Step 8) Lower the carry bar sufficiently to allow the straps of the sling to be easily removed from the carry bar. Take care not to let the carry bar come in contact with the individual in the sling. The straps from the sling can now be removed from the carry bar. The carry bar of the lift should then be raised sufficiently and the lift moved away from the immediate area so that it will not interfere with the removal of the sling from the individual. Step 9 ) The sling can now be gently removed from the individual. It should then be stored in a safe place for future use.

Step 10) The lift can now be moved to a safe location until further use, or relocated to its' original location. The lift should be turned off when not in use. It is recommended that the lift be left on charge when not in operation. Refer to the section titled, “Charging the lift” for instructions on charging.

Optional Hand Control Hook Your lift has come with an optional Hand Control Hook. This Hand Control Hook can be installed onto the Hand Control using the self tapping screws provided with the plastic hook. On the back of the Hand Control there will be 2 small pilot holes where the self tapping screws should be screwed into. See figure 7D for a Hand Control with the Plastic Hook already assembled. Figure 7E demonstrates the use of the plastic hook with your lift.

Charging the lift The charger contacts with two metal charging strips that run along the inside of the track. Whenever the lift is over a section of track with charging strips it will automatically start to charge the lift if its battery is low. The batteries should be charged on a regular basis. It is recommended that the lift be left on charge when not in operation, and at the end of each day. This will maximize the life cycle of the batteries The lift may remain connected to the charger indefinitely since the charger has a built-in regulator, eliminating the danger of overcharging. As a general rule it is recommended that the carry bar be raised to a height so that it will not interfere with anything or anyone while the unit is not in use. The light will turn ORANGE on the lift control panel and a slow beeping audible alarm will sound if the batteries are low and require charging. The display screen will also indicate low battery. Complete the transfer that is in progress and then move lift to the end of the track where the charger is located.
