microprocessor technology. This scale is designed to provide accurate, reliable and repeatable
weight measurements and features that make the weighing process simple, fast and convenient.

of a moving patient. The scale may be changed to measure live weight; see page 19 for
instructions on changing the scale setting.
The weight can be displayed in pounds (decimals, fractions of a lb or lb/oz) or in kilograms. The
scale features a folding stretcher for easy mobility and a display assembly stand.
The unit can be operated using its AC adapter or by 6-D cell batteries (not included).

Mast and Hydraulic Pump assembly into the mast sleeve (through the Stretcher Tray
Holder) on the Lifter Base. The notch on the end of the mast fits over the round tube at
the bottom of the Mast Sleeve. The mast must lock into position in the mast sleeve,
making it impossible to rotate. Check that the mast is locked into position and that the
hole in the mast is aligned with the threaded hole in the mast sleeve.

3. Insert the threaded locking device (the plastic knob and stud chained to the base) into

the threaded hole in the mast sleeve. Tighten to lock the mast to the base. Keep mast
and base locked at all times except when removing mast from base for storage.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

4. Connect the Lifter Boom and the Display Support to the Lifter Mast using the NC⅜-

20x2 ½” hex screw and tighten the self lock nut on its other side.

Note

: This screw is the axis of the Lifter Boom, so it is imperative that the three parts – Lifter

Boom, Lifter Mast and Display Support – be assembled in the proper order.

Place the Plastic Washers on either side of the Lifter Boom screw hole to prevent friction.
With the Boom hooks facing down, place the Lifter Boom and Washers inside the two
sides of the Lifter Mast and align the holes. Place the Display Support over the Lifter Mast
and Lifter Boom and align holes. Thread the screw through all three parts and tighten the
self lock nut on the other side well.

5. Insert the shaft end of the Pump into the eared bracket on the Lifter Boom and align the

holes. Slip the 1-3/4” nut through the bracket and the Pump shaft hole. Tighten with
locknut.

6. Insert the Base Adjustment Lever into its socket at the back of the Lifter Base. Check to

see that the bump on the outside of the socket fits securely in the notched adjusting
plate. To adjust the base legs, pull back on the adjusting lever to unlock. Move the lever
to the right to widen the base.

7. A wheel lock is provided on the Lifter Base for parking only. To lock caster, step on cam

lever on side of caster. To unlock, step on higher cam lever. NOTE: Never lock wheel
lock or block wheels when lifting someone. Wheel lock is provided for parking the Lifter
only,

8. Check the operation of the Hydraulic Pump by pumping the handle to elevate the Boom.

Make certain the control valve knob – located on the pump near the handle) is fully
tightened (clockwise).

9. To lower the Boom, slowly turn the control valve knob counterclockwise. The rate of

descent can be controlled by how much the knob is turned. The Boom may not lower
readily with weight. To test, simply apply downward force to the Boom.

Note

: If bolts, mounting pump or Lifter Mast are too tight, the Boom may not lower properly.
