Introduction
Before using this equipment, and to ensure the safe operation of your A320B Mobile hoist, carefully read
this entire manual, especially the section on “Cautions”. The A320B is designed to be used in conjunction
with Prism Medical accessories and slings. Please refer to any user guides supplied with these components
and refer to them while reviewing this manual.
Should any questions arise from reviewing this manual contact your local authorized Prism Medical Representative. Failure to comply with warnings in this manual may result in injury to either the operator, or the individual being lifted/transferred. Damage to the floor hoist and/or related components may also occur. Be sure
that the contents of this manual are completely understood prior to using this floor hoist.
Store this manual with the documents included with the floor hoist and sling (s). Contents of this manual are
subject to change without prior written notice.
Overview of A320B Mobile hoist
The A320B is a lifting aid used by health care professionals to transfer clients. The floor hoist makes it possible to move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete safety, dignity and comfort for the client.
The A320B Mobile hoist is one of two components that make up this technology. The other component, the
sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the floor hoist by means of a carry bar and straps,
and holds an individual while the lift, or transfer takes place. The sling is generally supplied with the floor
hoist at the initial time of purchase. Please refer to any user guides supplied with the sling and reference them
while reviewing this manual.
The
A320B has the ability to lift an individual up from one location such as bed, then move the individual to
another location and finally lower the individual into a chair or bath. The functions of lifting up or down, or
opening and closing the legs on the hoist, are accomplished by pressing buttons on the hand control. The hand
control is attached to the floor hoist. Due to the design of the floor hoist system, it takes very little effort to
press a button to perform the desired motion.
Please familiarize yourself with the components of the
next page.
Following models are available for A320B floor hoist.
