2. Introduction: About Your Lift

Each Journey lift is fully assembled, load tested and certified before being packed/shipped.

The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton to ensure the safe arrival of the lift. A number of documents are supplied in a wallet, and packed with each lift and should be kept safely for future reference:

• TEST CERTIFICATE • USER MANUAL

The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and should be kept for reference purposes.

To properly maintain your lift please refer to the maintenance schedule included in this document. If you are at all unsure what your country’s servicing requirements are, please check with your dealer and/or a local government agency.

Statement of Intended Use (Journey)

The intended use of this lifting device is for the safe lifting and transfer of an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Joerns Healthcare recommends that the transfer of a patient is fully risk assessed and conducted safely over a short distance only.

The Hoyer Journey is suitable for patients in the SITTING position only who have a degree of weight-bearing ability but require assistance to stand. By removing the foot tray, the Hoyer Journey patient lift can also be used as a walking aid following a careful risk assessment.

The Hoyer Journey is designed to support and promote safe patient handling and transfer for both the patient and carer. It can be folded without the use of tools enabling it to be easily stored in environments where space is limited or to facilitate onward transportation in a vehicle with a suitably sized trunk.

The Hoyer Journey stand aid is designed to be used in conjunction with the Hoyer range of slings. The examples of slings suitable for use with this device are listed as follows:

• Hoyer Standing Sling

• Hoyer Transport Sling

Expected Service Life

Hoyer Professional lifts are designed and tested for a minimum service life of ten (10) years, subject to the use and maintenance procedures stated in this manual. Use, other than in accordance with these instructions, may compromise service life.

Assembly Instructions

The Hoyer Journey is delivered in its folded/storage position; the following assembly process demonstrates the 3 easy steps required to take the Hoyer Journey from its storage position to its ready for use position. This process is carried out with no additional tools required.

1. Remove all the parts from the carton and place on the floor, taking care to protect the finish

from damage.

Lift the Hoyer Journey carefully from the carton. Lie the lift flat on the floor and ensure the rear castors are securely locked.

2. To unfold the Hoyer Journey into its ready-to-use position, raise the mast assembly upright. This

is achieved by pressing the mast release button located under the actuator (as shown). This will release the mast assembly and allow the mast to be raised. Using the top of the push handle, raise the mast to its upright position and locate the mast into the slot (1). Once the mast is firmly located, use the mast locking lever to secure the mast. This is achieved by turning the mast lever clockwise to tighten and then pushing the mast locking lever down towards the mast surface (2). Finally, release braked castors at the rear and the Hoyer Journey is ready for use (3).

CAUTION

Avoid trapping fingers. Keep fingers away from the end of the mast when inserting into the mast slot. Tighten the mast-locking device, and unlock the braked castors at the rear.

3. Adjust the cow horn mechanism into one of three positions to suit either the patient task and/or

environment. To adjust the cow horn, simply pull the trigger backwards towards the rear of the lift while holding the cow horn. Then select the desired position as indicated on the positioning decal (1) and release the trigger to lock. The lift is now ready for operation.

NOTE: See page 12 for cow horn position guidelines.

Disassembly

To disassemble and store the Hoyer Journey follow the four easy steps shown below; please note that no additional tools are required.

1. Lower the boom into its lowest possible position and adjust the cow horn to the storage/fold

3. Unlock the mast-locking lever by pulling it outwards from the mast (1). Using the push handle

lift the mast upwards and then slowly push downwards (2), carefully folding the mast assembly towards the legs until you hear a “Click” (3). The “Click” indicates the mast is now in its locked position.

4. When folded, lift the Hoyer Journey upright using the legs and push handle as a guide.

NOTE: If you wish to separate the mast and boom completely from the base and legs, undo the

mast-locking lever fully (remove pin assembly from mast) and lift the mast and boom completely free from the base. Be careful not to lose the mast lock lever and location spindle.

Fitting Instructions

Feed the sling down the back of the patient leaving the top of the commode aperture at the base of the spine. Check the roll part of the sling is square across the patient’s back. Attach the support strap around the chest of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It is there to hold the sling in position while attaching the loops to the Standaid. It may be left off altogether if preferred. Ensure patient’s arms are on the outside of the sling (refer to Fig. C, page 13).
