4. Sling Guide
The Oxford/Hoyer Elevate is suitable for patients in the SITTING position. The slings suitable for
this device are listed as follows:
* Oxford/Hoyer Transport sling
* Oxford/Hoyer Standing sling
USER GUIDE FOR STANDAID SLINGS
The Transport and Standing sling is an easy fit sling, suitable for standing and supporting. It is not
a general purpose sling and patients must be assessed for suitability by a qualified person.
Transport Sling
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 whilst 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.
Raise the patient’s leg and feed the leg strap under and up between the legs. Ensure the sling is
not twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat this procedure for the other leg. Attach the loops
on the roll parts of the sling to the white hooks at the end of the hand grips.
Without crossing the loops on the leg straps, attach to left and right black knobs on the lifting fork.
You would normally use the middle of the three loops. The patient is now ready to be raised from
the seat. Once clear of the seat, the patient will be more comfortable if lowered back in to the sitting position.
NOTE:
Joerns Healthcare recommends slings are checked regularly and before use for fraying or
damage. Do not use slings that are worn or damaged.

1. Leg adjustment
The legs on the Oxford/Hoyer Elevate are electrically adjustable for width. The legs can be opened
to enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating narrow doorways and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position.
Electric leg adjustment - is achieved by pressing the appropriate buttons on the handcontrol. The
legs will be locked whenever the handcontrol switch is released.
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 the centre of gravity of the lift. 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 and lowering the boom
The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator, which is controlled by a
simple handcontrol unit. The handcontrol has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN
áâ. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The handcontrol
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 in. This will cut all power to the lift and only be reset by twisting the button anti-clockwise
and releasing.
5. Electrical Emergency Down/Up
Emergency lower (down) and raise (up) buttons are provided at the front of the control box. This
is operated by inserting a ballpoint pen into the button highlighted áâ. This will bring the boom
up or down should the handcontrol fail at any time.
NOTE:
This is an emergency device and not intended for repetitive use.
6. Mechanical Emergency Down
In the case of a complete electrical failure the electrical actuator is fitted with mechanical lowering
device (RED BOSS). This will only operate when the lift is under load. The device must be pulled
upwards to activate, and a slow decent will commence.
NOTE:
This is an emergency device and not intended for repetitive use.
7. Batteries
The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM. This will sound
when the batteries need recharging and the handcontrol is being operated. It will not sound
independently of the handcontrol being operated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM.
Complete the lifting operation and place the battery on charge (see charging instructions).
WARNING!
Battery or charger is not to be opened by unauthorized personnel. (Contact your distributor for
warranty and repairs).

To weigh a patient follow the instructions below:
1. Assemble the sling to the cow horn and press the ON/ZERO pad. The display will show 0.0
and the word HOLD will appear in the lower left hand corner. This step prepares the scale
for weighing. The sling can now be removed from the cow horn or cradle and placed around
the patient.
2. Place the sling around the patient ensuring the patient’s feet are in the foot tray. Attach the
sling to cow horns and raise the patient so that they are in the standing position. They must
not be touching anything such as a chair or bed since this will cause an error in weighing.
3. The scale has been designed to turn itself off after 60 seconds to conserve battery life. To
restart the scale, push the ON/ZERO pad (once only). The display will show the start up screen
and then show the patient’s weight. When the HOLD sign appears, the weight can be recorded.
WARNING
To restart the scale, be sure to push the ON/ZERO. If the scale starts and the pad is
pushed again, the scale may go to zero (0.0) and the patient’s weight may be lost. This may
require the reweighing of the patient.
4. The RECALL feature is designed to retain in the memory the last stable weight over
10 kg/22lbs. To access this weight, the scale must be on. Press the RECALL pad. The display
will flash between “RECL” and the retained weight.
MAINTENANCE:
It is recommended that twice yearly inspections of the connections on the scale be scheduled and
performed to assure trouble free operation. Look for wear or any irregularities that may contribute
to scale failure.
If any wear or irregularity is seen DO NOT USE THE LIFT and call a competent engineer to
access the assembly.

Our products are guaranteed for a period of 24 months from the date of manufacture or 24 months
