2. Introduction: About Your Lift
Each Ascend 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 • DEALER GUARANTEE CARD (Europe only)
• USER MANUAL • CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CARD (Europe only)
• PACKING CHECK LIST
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and will be required for your insurance
records. It is valid for six months and after it has expired the lift should be inspected and serviced
per the maintenance schedule.
Your authorised dealer can carry out servicing and periodic testing for those countries where this
is a requirement (Europe). Please ensure your lift is included in their maintenance schedule. If
you are at all unsure what your local market servicing requirements are, please check with your
dealer, a local government agency and/or Joerns Healthcare.

4. Sling Guide
The Oxford Ascend is suitable for patients in the SITTING position. The slings suitable for this
device are listed as follows:
• Oxford Transport
• Oxford Standing
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.

Standing Sling
Place the sling down behind patient’s back between base of shoulder blades and bottom of rib
cage. Attach the support straps around the front of the patient. This strap need not be tight. It is
there to hold the sling in position whilst attaching the sling to the Standaid. It may be left off
altogether if preferred. Ensure that the patient’s arms are outside the sling.
NOTE: For detailed fitting instructions, please refer to the user guide supplied with each
sling.
WARNING
Joerns Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly before
use for signs of fraying or damage. DO NOT use slings that are worn or damaged.
WARNING
OXFORD RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE OXFORD PARTS. Oxford sling and lift
products are designed to be compatible with one another. For country specic guidance
on sling use and compatibility, please refer to the sling label or contact your local market
distributor or Joerns Healthcare.
WARNING
Refer to maximum weight capacity of lift. Sling capacity is limited by the maximum
capacity of the lift.
5. Lifting with the Oxford Ascend
Position Standaid so that the patient’s feet fit in the foot tray and knees rest against the knee
pad. Initially attach the longer loops of the sling to the grey hooks at the end of the Standaid
hand grips. The patient’s hands should be placed on the handgrips. (Once the patient is used to
the lift the shorter loops may be used to achieve a more upright position). Then push UP button
on handcontrol to raise the patient to the standing position.

is required.
The service symbol will be displayed each time the raise or lower keys
are depressed on the User handset. When the service symbol is displayed,
contact your authorised service provider immediately to arrange a service.
You may continue to use your lift for a short period of time until a service
has been carried out.
If the lift stops because of an overload (an attempt to lift more than the
safe working load) the overload symbol will appear on the LCD display
and the lift will cease to operate until the additional load (above the
SWL) has been removed.
WARNING
If the LCD display screen on your Smart Monitor has recorded
an overload, Joerns Healthcare recommend that ALL routine
daily checks are carried out on the lift prior to further use (for a
list of daily checks, please refer to your lift user manual). Joerns
Healthcare also recommend that you contact your authorised

8. Operating Instructions
1. Leg adjustment
The legs on the Oxford Ascend 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 hand control 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 anticlockwise
and releasing.
5. Redundant controls
All Oxford lifts are fitted with 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 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: The MINIMUM load required to manually lower the hoist using the mechanical emergency
down function is 30 kg.
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).

9. Charging Instructions
When the power pack needs charging it is removed from the lift and fitted to an off board charging unit.
Joerns Healthcare recommend an additional battery pack is purchased, so that one pack can be
on charge at all times.
1. Remove the power pack from the lift. The pack is retained by a simple latch at the top of the
power pack. Lift the latch and the power pack will be released.
2. Fit the power pack to the charging unit. The location and latching of the power pack to the
charger is the same system as used on the lift.
3. Plug the charger mains plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains supply ON.
4. Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of four (4) hours.
NOTE: Even if the charger is left plugged in for extended periods it will not allow the batteries
to overcharge.
a) Green Light - Indicates main power is on.
b) Yellow Light - Indicates battery is charging.
c) Battery will be fully charged when yellow light goes off.
