Overview of FGA-700 Bariatric floor lift
The FGA-700 is a lifting aid used by health care professionals to transfer clients. The floor 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.
The FGA-700 Bariatric floor lift is one of two components that make up this technology. The other component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the floor lift by means of a carry bar and
straps, and holds an individual while the lift, or transfer takes place. The sling is generally supplied with the
floor lift at the initial time of purchase. Please refer to any user guides supplied with the sling and reference
them while reviewing this manual.
The
FGA-700 has the ability to lift an individual up from one location such as bed, then move the individual
to another location and finally lower the individual into a chair or bath. The functions of lifting up or down, or
opening and closing the legs on the lift, are accomplished by pressing buttons on the hand control. The hand
control is attached to the floor lift. Due to the design of the floor lift system, it takes very little effort to press a
button to perform the desired motion.
Please familiarize yourself with the components of the

280400 / 280401 - FGA-700 - Owner’s Manual Rev: 10/18/12 Page: 12
Operation:
Caution: Visually inspect the floor lift before using for any unusual wear and tear. Should anything look unusual then contact your local representative prior to use.
Failure to comply with this caution could result in serious injury to the operator, the individual being
lifted and/or damage to the lift.
Because of the safety function in the actuator the lifting arm and hanger bar can “fall down” to the
height of the spindle. Therefore, both before and after each lifting operation, press the lifting arm down
to ensure that it is supported by the actuator. This must be done, to remove the possibility of the lifting
arm “falling down” and the risk of subsequent injury occurring.
Charging:
The “On” light illuminates when you plug the control box to the power outlet and should turn off
when it is unplugged. The “Charge” light illuminates, and when you connect the battery to the control
box and it is charging, also the LCD displays shows the symbol of mains cable plug in as shown in the
Figure 30. The “Charge” light will turn off when the battery is finished charging.
The lift should be plugged in for charging whenever the lift is not in use to get the max number of cycles out of the battery. An audible battery alarm will sound when approximate 25% of battery
capacity remaining. To obtain max life, charge the battery at no more than 30% discharge.
Please Note: The battery can be charged whether the Emergency Stop is activated or not.

Start:
The Hand Control has four functions up/down and in/out. Press down on the symbols to operate the
desired function. It is not possible to use two functions at the same time.
An audible alarm will sound once the load becomes too great on the lift. This will cause the lifting operation to stop. Do not continue to operate the handset by repeatedly pressing the buttons. At this point
the lift has reached it's maximum lift. This is a purposefully built in safety feature.
Please Note!
The emergency stop must be released at all times during normal operation.

Operation:
Forward Movement:
To move the lift forward, hold onto the handle bar and push forward.
Turning:
HANDLE BAR
When turning the lift, stand on along one side. With one hand pull gently on the handle bar, and with
the other hand push gently away on the lifting arm. In this way the lift will rotate around its own axis.
This movement is performed with a smooth, slow action to avoid swinging the patient unnecessarily.
Warning:
Do not hold on to the actuator or swing link when turning the lift as there is a risk of getting your
fingers caught.
280400 / 280401 - FGA-700 - Owner’s Manual Rev: 10/18/12 Page: 14
Operation:
Leg Adjustment:
The legs of FGA-700 lift are electrically adjustable for opening, and closing base width. The legs can be
opened to enable access around arm chairs or wheel chairs. For transferring through narrow doorways, and
passages the lift legs should be in closed position.
Leg adjustment is achieved by pressing appropriate buttons on the hand control. The legs’ motion will be
stopped whenever the hand control button is released.
Raising and Lowering the Boom:
The up and down movement of boom on FGA-700 lift is achieved by a powerful electric actuator which is
controlled by hand control. The hand control has two button with directional arrows UP and DOWN.
The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions.
Casters and Braking:
The FGA-700 lift has two rear casters with brake. The rear casters can be braked for rotation, lateral movement, and parking. To apply the brake, press the brake pedal down with your foot. To release the brake, press
the raised pedal towards the wheel.
During the lifting, the rear wheels should remain unlocked so that the lift will move to the patient’s centre of
gravity. The wheels should, however, be locked if there is a risk of lift moving to the patient. For example,
when lifting the patient from the floor.
Warning:
Locked wheels during lifting will increases the risk of the lift tilt over.
Application:
If the lift is used incorrectly any warranty or product liability might cease to be valid.
The mobile lift must only be used for person lifting and only for persons who, including the sling, do not
weigh more than the stated max. weight load. If the load exceeds the stated weight limit and if the lift is used
for lifting anything but persons, then any product liability that Prism Medical might have, in connection with
insurance / warranty / maintenance etc., will cease to be valid.
To avoid possible accidents and injury to persons being lifted, the floor lifts must only be operated as described in the preceding pages.
280400 / 280401 - FGA-700 - Owner’s Manual Rev: 10/18/12 Page: 15
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 floor lift.
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 Prism MedicalRepresentatives if you have any questions or concerns.
Step 1) Unplug the lift from its charging station or current location and move close to the individual that is to
be transferred. Use the procedures for up and down and transferring as described in the sections titled, “Start”,
“Forward Movement” and “Turning”.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the lift from one location to another.
Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling,
or damage to the lift.
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 and utilize leg opening function if required. 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 per-
son to be lifted.
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 representative.
Step 4) Attach the straps of the sling to the hooks of the carry bar. The straps on each side of the sling are gen-
erally 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.
280400 / 280401 - FGA-700 - Owner’s Manual Rev: 10/18/12 Page: 16
Basics in transferring an individual … continued
Step 5) The individual may now be raised using 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.
Step 6) Once at the correct height the individual can be moved to the desired location. Refer to the sections
already described in this manual on how to do so.
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 lift should then be moved away from the immediate area so that it
will not interfere with the removal of the sling from the client.
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.

and dirt.
The exterior of the lift should only be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized using isopropyl alcohol.
Damp a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe down entire exterior of lift.
No other chemicals and/or liquids should be used to clean, disinfect and sterilize this lift.
Caution: Take great care to ensure that no liquids get inside
the lift. This lift is not drip proof or water tight. Failure to
protect the lift from liquids may result in damage to the lift and/
or may cause personal injury.
DON'T
Don't allow the batteries to fully discharge before connecting to the charger. The batteries are a lead-
acid gel cell type that can be trickled charged continuously (batteries used for standby) and have a
high current discharge capacity. Life is greatly reduced by deep or complete discharging of the batteries. Longer lifetime is obtained by maintaining fully charged batteries.
Don't continue to operate the handset by repeatedly pressing the buttons if the lift function will not
move or the actuator will not function. If this occurs then the actuator has either reached its end position, the load is too great or there is a malfunction.
Don't exert excessive force on the handset cable as this may break off the wires inside the cable and
prevent some or all of the operations.
