Controller Usage
!!!
Designed with ease of use and the safety and comfort of
the user in mind, the Controller (as shown) is the single
point of operation for the supine option.
42. The Controller has 3 positions: Neutral, Sit-to-Stand,
and Supine.
43. There is a spring loaded safety collar (red colored)
which prevents inadvertent switching between modes.
It must be lifted upward into the shift knob before the
mode can be changed.
Sit-to-Stand Mode
44. The unit is locked into sit to stand mode when the
foot bracket is locked to the base frame.
Please note that even though the controller is set
to sit to stand mode, the foot plate bracket must
be brought perpendicular to the floor and locked
into place. If the bracket is not already in position
this can be accomplished by:
42
43
- Pushing the back all the way forward to the
end of its range (approximately 90 upright).
- Pushing the footplate bracket all the way
down and backward toward the base to the
end of its range.
Listen for a clicking sound to indicate that the unit is
locked into sit to stand mode.
If you can move the back support, or foot supports
forward or backward, the unit is not yet locked in sit to
stand mode.
The sit to stand mode allows the user to move between
sitting and standing positions. The hip and knee pivot
points articulate while maintaining constant angles for
the back and foot support bracket.
Important: All seat depth and following arm
adjustments should be made with the Controller in
the Sit-to-Stand mode.
44.
Page 17 Page 14
Controller Usage
Neutral Mode
45. The controller should only be set in the neutral
position when changing between the sit to stand and
supine positioning modes.
Do not leave the controller in neutral position with a
person in the Bantam.
46. The neutral position allows the foot bracket
supports, and the back support to move freely at the hip
and knee pivot points to go into partial supine or
full supine.
45
46
Controller Usage
Supine Mode
!
Caution: A properly fitted and adjusted headrest MUST
be used with the supine option.
47. The unit is locked into supine mode as soon as
the controller is set in that position.
The foot bracket supports and back support are
locked in relation to each other in Supine mode.
When in partial supine or full supine the user can
be elevated to an upright position or descended to
a reclined position.
48.If the unit is locked in supine mode, you must only
elevate the unit to the point where the footplate bracket
comes perpendicular to the floor.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO ELEVATE THE UNIT PAST THIS
POINT. Forcing the unit to elevate past its stopping point
could result in damage to the unit.
If the unit has a hydraulic pump or electric actuator, it
is equipped with a Mechlok bypass. This mechanism
prevents component damage in the event of over-travel
while locked in “Supine” mode. If in supine mode with
the legrest assembly up against the seat column
(vertical), the Mechlok bypass will be activated.
If you wish to maintain supine position while
lowering the seat, it is necessary to pull on the supine
assist handle a few degrees while lowering the unit until
the mechlok bypass de-activates. If this is not done,
the stander will behave as though it is in “Sit-to-Stand”
mode, allowing the user to return to a seated position.
47
48

Bracket
Caution: When in supine mode, if the limit is reached
!
where the foot bracket is perpendicular to the floor,
but the user wishes to continue to a straighter standing position you must change the controller to sit to
stand mode. This will allow the user to continue toward
upright standing without damaging the unit.

Pow’r Up Lift Option Usage
Charging the Battery
The EasyStand Bantam Pow’r Up Lift uses two 12-volt sealed lead batteries rated at 2.9 amps each. An
EasyStand Bantam can be lifted approximately 100 times on one full battery charge. An audible alarm
will sound when the battery is low. Please charge the battery after the alarm sounds. A battery
needing to be fully recharged will take approximately 8 hours. The EasyStand Bantam can be raised to
the standing position while being charged. The function of the charger is to detect a full battery and
then provide a constant potential power supply to hold the battery at a full condition
without overcharging. When the battery EMF rises to a factory preset
point, the charger circuit will not allow the peak output voltage to exceed
that value. This factory setting protects a battery from excessive
depletion of electrolyte, which can occur from overcharging. The charger
can be found in the tool pouch on the back of the unit.
CAUTION: Use only the Linak charger, model number 10CH01S-00,
provided by Altimate Medical with the Pow’r Up option.
1. Plug the receptacle into a wall outlet. The length of the charger cable
is 80” (203cm). The light on the charger will be green indicating an open
circuit.
2. FIG. A- Plug the charger cord into the side of the hand control. The
light on the charger will turn yellow indicating the batteries are being
charged. The length of the hand control cable is 30” (76cm), retracted.
3. FIG. B- The unit will arrive unplugged from the battery, plug in the white
cord that supplies power to the actuator and the black cord that supplies
power to the remote. The black cord has a notch on it to orient the

The batteries are enclosed in the control box of the Pow’r Up Lift (the black box where the cords are
plugged in). Once the batteries have reached their end of life and need to be replaced, do not open the
control box; please contact Altimate Medical Customer Service or your medical equipment dealer for
information about purchasing a replacement control box. It is recommended that the batteries be
replaced every four years.
Please contact a local recycling authority for information about disposing of the old batteries.
IP Rating
The IP rating is a classification system indicating the protection degree from dust, water and impact for
electrical equipment and enclosures. Pow’r Up Lift components are rated at IP21. The definition for IP21 is
as follows:
First character definition: 2 - Protected against solid foreign objects of 12.5mm diameter and greater.
Second character definition: 1 - Protected against vertically falling water drops.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Pow’r Up Option components have been designed and tested to meet the applicable EMC requirements. It
is unlikely that you will encounter problems with your EasyStand due to inadequate electromagnetic
compatibility. However, if you notice any unusual (such as intermittent) behavior of your Pow’r Up option
and the EasyStand is being used next to possible interfering equipment such as mobile phones,
microwaves, or radio broadcast masts, this could be an indication of electromagnetic interference. If such
behavior occurs, use the mechanical release to lower the unit to the seated position and move the
EasyStand away from the interfering equipment. Please report any instance of possible electromagnetic
interference to AMI’s Customer Service Department.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the EasyStand Bantam is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the EasyStand Bantam should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the
EasyStand Bantam.

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the EasyStand Bantam.
The EasyStand Bantam is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the EasyStand Bantam can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and
the EasyStand Bantam as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.

Options & Parts Detail
Standing
Contraindications
Standing/weight bearing may not be an option for the following reasons:
If the user has severe contractures or range of motion issues
If the user has severe osteoporosis or brittle bone disease
If the user has postural orthostatic hypotension
If the user has dislocated joints
Caution: Consumers considering a standing program should consult with a qualified
physician and medical team to determine what indications or contraindications exist.
Clinicians must use best clinical judgment to evaluate the user’s needs.
Implementing a standing program must be determined on an individual basis by the user’s
team (Physician, Physical or Occupational Therapist, Rehab Technology Professional/Supplier
and the consumer). Consider all indications and contraindications for each client individually
to determine if standing/weight bearing is appropriate for them.
To Stand
Caution: Always consult with a physician or therapist before starting a standing program.
Caution: Never make adjustments to the EasyStand while a user is in the standing position.
Caution: When lowering the unit from standing to sitting, keep all hands and feet clear of
the mechanism beneath the seat.
Page 29 Page 2
Maintenance
• Check the EasyStand at least weekly to ensure all nuts, bolts and adjustable parts are tightened securely, failure
to do so may result in parts falling off which may cause a choking hazard for children.
Cleaning/Disinfecting
• Clean the EasyStand Bantam with a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water.
• Do not use bleach or any other bleach-based cleaners on the EasyStand.
• Disinfecting wipes are safe to use on metal and non-porous surfaces.
• Use a damp sponge with mild soap or a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant.
• Spot clean Neoprene with mild soap and water.
• Neoprene covers may be removed and hand washed with water. Air dry the covers. Always use care when
removing and replacing the covers.
• Do not dry clean any upholstery items.
• If the EasyStand is being used with one user, clean the EasyStand on a monthly basis or as needed.
• If the EasyStand is being used in a multiple user environment, the EasyStand should be cleaned after each use.
Urethane Coated Fabrics (Dartex or generic equivalent)
• The recommended cleaning and disinfection instructions should be followed whenever possible to avoid damage
to the PU membrane which could lead to premature failure of the cover.
• For superficial dirt, use a disposable wipe and a warm solution of neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Disinfect using a 0.1% sodium hypochlorite solution (1000ppm chlorine), stronger bleach solutions not
recommended.
• Thoroughly rinse any remaining cleaning solution with water and dry fabric before re-use or storage.
• Do not iron.
Hydraulic Actuator Maintenance
• An initial break-in period of approximately 50-100 full cycles is normal for the hydraulic unit. You may experience
a squeaking or a less-than-smooth forward stroke. The very close fit of its mating parts gives each actuator
its own break-in “feel” and signature sound.
• If the pump is leaking oil or not holding properly contact your local EasyStand Supplier for a replacement. The
serial number on the EasyStand will be needed.
• Do not exert excessive force on the actuator handle or use the actuator handle to move the EasyStand around.
This may cause damage to the actuator handle and/or the actuator mechanism and will void any warranty.
• User maintenance is not required or recommended on the hydraulic actuator. Never apply lubricant, household
oil, grease, or a similar product to any part of the unit. Some compounds may react with the seals used in the
manufacture of this product. This may damage the unit and will void any warranty.
• Do not exceed the rated weight limit.
• If the EasyStand was shipped and exposed to a temperature of less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, you must allow
the hydraulic unit to warm to room temperature before use. Failure to follow this step could damage the unit and
render it inoperable.
• Once a standing position is reached, the actuator may settle back one stroke, this is normal.
• It is not always necessary to push the actuator handle all the way back to lower the seat. If difficult to lower the
seat, try pushing the handle back in different positions.
• If the unit is in the standing position and unoccupied, it is necessary to apply pressure to the seat of the unit while
pushing the actuator handle back.
Purging The Hydraulic Actuator
The hydraulic actuator on the EasyStand has a high probability of getting air trapped in the internal workings of the
unit. This is usually caused by in-transit handling and is quite normal. Please follow the simple steps below, as manual
hydraulic systems may never operate properly unless the entrapped air is correctly purged. The unit must be at room
temperature for this procedure.
1. Pump the handle until the full extension is reached.
2. Continue pumping the handle slowly for an additional 10 strokes. This will properly purge the system.
Troubleshooting
My lower leg length is too short for the stander.
Invert and swap the foot plates left to right.
One of the arms on my tray is shorter than the other, is this correct?
Yes, it is designed so you can line up the longer arm first, then the shorter arm.
We just received our Bantam and on the tray there is a quick pin to secure the tray in place, but
there are two bolts attached on both sides. Am I suppose to use the bolts to secure the tray in
place?
The bolts and nuts are used as a tray depth guide. You can move them to any one of the holes on the tray
adjustment arm depending on the person using the unit. To use, remove from the tray, position the tray with
the correct depth and then reinstall in the hole closest to the tray top. This will stop the arms at the correct depth so it is easier and quicker when attaching the tray. To secure the tray, there are two quick pins
attached to cables on both sides of the unit. Check both sides to make sure both are there.
Sometimes, in shipping, they will move around, so at first glance only one side is visible.
How do I order parts?
Contact your local supplier and have the serial number ready. If you don’t know who your supplier is, call
Altimate Medical Customer Service (800) 342-8968 and have the serial number ready.
