5. Lifting With Your Hoyer Journey

The Hoyer Journey has an adjustable cow horn. This allows the carer to position the cow horn in a comfortable position to suit the patient or environment. The cow horn has 3 positions. Position 1 is more suitable for a large/taller patient, position 2 is more suitable for a medium/average size patient and position 3 is more suitable for a shorter/pediatric patient or when standing a patient from a low chair. (Please note, these are guidelines only, it may be necessary to adjust according to patient comfort). To adjust the cow horn, simply pull the trigger backwards towards the rear of the lift whilst holding the cow horn. Then select the desired position as indicated by the positioning decal and release trigger to lock. The cow horn has 3 alternative positions for lifting and a further one for the storage/fold position.

Cow Horn Lift Positions

Lifting from a sitting position

Select the most suitable cow horn position to suit the patient or environment. Once complete, position the Standaid so that the patient’s feet fit in the foot tray and the knees rest against the kneepad. The optimal position for the kneepad is just below the patella. Adjust the kneepad accordingly and fit the safety belt if required. If not required, the safety belt can be detached and stored away.

Attach the loops of the sling to the grey hooks at the end of the Hoyer Journey handgrips. The patient’s hands should be placed on the handgrips (see Fig A or C).

8. Operating Instructions

1. Leg Adjustment

The legs on the Hoyer Journey are adjustable for width. The legs can be opened to enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating narrow doorways/ passages, the lift legs should be in the closed position. To achieve the adjustment, the leg adjuster pedal, located at the rear of the base, is compressed right (DOWN) to open the legs outwards and left (UP) to close the legs. The adjustment can be carried out with the patient in the lift, but whether loaded or unloaded the adjustment should be made when the lift is moving.

2. Castors and Braking

The lift has two braked castors, which can be applied for parking. When lifting, the castors should be left free and un-braked. The lift will then be able to move to its natural centre of gravity. If the brakes are applied, it is the patient that will swing to the centre of gravity and this may prove disconcerting and uncomfortable.

3. Raising & Lowering The Boom

A powerful electric actuator that is controlled by a simple hand control unit achieves the movement of the boom. The hand control has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN áâ. The actuator stops automatically at its limit of travel in both directions. The hand control plugs into a socket at the base of the control box.

4. Emergency Stop

The red Emergency Stop Button is located on the front of the control box and is activated by pressing it in. This will cut all power to the lift and will only be reset by twisting the button clockwise and releasing.

5. Redundant controls

Standard Control Box:

The standard control box is fitted with emergency lower/raise buttons located underneath the emergency stop button. They can be operated by inserting the tip of a ball point pen into the buttons highlighted “lower/raise”. This will raise or lower the boom should the hand control fail.

Smart Monitor:

The Smart Monitor is fitted with redundant raise and lower buttons on the control box. These are located underneath the emergency stop button and can be used to lower/raise the patient should the hand control fail.

6. Mechanical Emergency Down

In the case of a complete electrical failure the electrical actuator is fitted with a spring loaded mechanical lowering device (RED BOSS). This will only operate when the lift is under load. The device must be twisted by hand and released to activate. A slow decent will commence. Repeat this process until the patient has been safely lowered.

NOTE: The MINIMUM load required to manually lower the lift using the mechanical emergency down function is 30 kg.

Hoyer

Journey

English

7. Batteries

A LOW VOLTAGE ALARM protects the batteries from deep discharge. This will sound when the batteries need recharging and the hand control is being operated. It will not sound independently of the hand control being operated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM. Complete the lifting operation and place the battery on charge (see charging instructions). The battery charge level is displayed by the indicator on the control box.

CAUTION

The battery, charger, hand control, control box and actuator should not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. (Contact your distributor for warranty and repairs).

8. Slings

The Hoyer Journey is suitable for patients in the SITTING, position. The slings suitable for this device are listed as follows:

• Hoyer Transport sling

• Hoyer Standing sling

9. Knee pad adjustment

The Hoyer Journey has an adjustable kneepad. It is recommended for safety and ergonomic reasons that any adjustment is carried out by holding the top of the adjustment handle. The range of travel is 10.2 inches (260mm). Adjustment is achieved by following two easy steps. STEP 1 turn the kneepad adjustment lever to the left to unlock. STEP 2 either push handle downwards or pull handle upwards to select correct position. Once the ideal position is found, simply turn the kneepad adjustment lever to the right to lock in place, NOTE: the lever can be operated from either side of the lift.
