3 Important safety instructions
Read this user guide completely before use of the patient lift. This is vital to both your own safety and
the safety of the patient.
Caution!
Ensure that you never lift patients weighing over 150kg (Line) / 175kg (Line
(+)
).
Caution!
Ensure that you never lift more than one patient at a time.
Caution!
Ensure that you never leave a patient in the lift unsupervised.
Caution!
The patient lift is not suited to be exposed to large quantities of water. Therefore
it is not suited for use under a shower. Prevent any parts of the lift and lifting
frame to come in contact with shower and bath water.
Caution!
The patient lift is not suited for use on slopes. Do not perform a transfer on a
slope.
Caution!
When using the patient lift, ensure that no lateral forces are being exerted on the
patient, the lifting arm or the mast: this may lead to decreased stability of the lift.
Caution!
Do not expose the lift to temperatures below -5°C and over 50°C.
Caution!
Use the patient lift exclusively with slings of the ‘esense’ or ‘SlingCare’ brand
supplied by Indes. These can be recognised by a label with the text ‘esense’ or
‘SlingCare’.
Caution!
The esense power assist functionality is activated by sensitive sensors in the
pushbar. Ensure at all times that the pushbar can move freely and that no external
forces are exerted on the pushbar, other than the push and pull force required for
manoeuvring the lift.
Caution!
The power assist functionality on esense patient lifts contains moving parts
required for driving and steering of the drive wheel. These components are
protected by the blue cover at the back of the lift. Prevent hands or fingers from
getting stuck underneath the cover when the esense system is active. Make sure
to switch off the system before carrying out any maintenance.
Caution!
Do not hang clothes, coats, slings etc. on the pushbar. Do not place or clamp any
objects between the pushbar and the mast or any other surfaces.
Notice!
Take care to regularly check the patient lift for loose parts and wear of for example
rubbers, wiring, straps or plastic covers. In case of any irregularities, stop using the
lift immediately and contact your service department or supplier.
