Overview of C450/ C625 lift system
The C450/ C625 is a lifting aid used by health care professionals and those providing care in the home to lift,
position and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The C450/ C625 lift is part of what is termed ceiling lift technology which takes advantage of lifting from above and not from below or the side. Additionally
the ceiling lift does not take up valuable floor space as most traditional methods do. Finally, the ceiling lift
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 or family member.
The C450/ C625 lift is one of three major components that make up this technology. The other two components are the track and sling. The
ing structure of the institution, or home with the use of ceiling brackets. The track itself is made of specially
designed aluminum and comes in many different shapes, lengths and configurations, and is custom tailored and
installed to meet your specific requirements. The third component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the lift by means of a carry bar and straps, and holds an individual while the lift, positioning or transfer takes place. Both the track and sling are generally supplied with the lift at the initial time of
purchase. Please refer to any user guides supplied with the
ing this manual.
The
C450/ C625 is a fixed ceiling lift, that is, it always remains on the lift track. It has the ability to lift an in-
dividual up from one location such as bed, move the individual along the track to another location and
finally lower the individual into a chair or bath. It is moved along the track in one of two ways. The first is by
manually moving the lift along the track with the aid of a caregiver. The second is by having the lift power itself along the track. The functions of lifting up or down, or moving to the left or right, are accomplished by
pressing buttons of a pneumatically (air) operated hand control. The hand control is attached to the lift by way
of a rubber airline tubing. Due to the design of the lift system, it takes very little effort to press a button to perform the desired motion.
Please refer to figures 1A and 1B to see sample floor plans of an installed lift system. Refer to figures 2A and
2B to familiarize yourself with the components of the
view of the lift as it would be seen by an operator.

Attaching the airline tube to the lift
Caution: A sturdy ladder may be required in order to access the underside of the lift to re-attach
the rubber airline of the lift. Caution should be used when this is required.
Should you have any concerns or questions contact your local authorized Prism Medical dealer.
Should the gray rubber airline that connects the lift to the hand
control become disengaged from the underside of the lift it must
be re-connected in order for the lift to work properly.
The rubber airline may become disconnected for the following
reasons:
1) The lift is pulled along the track by the airline.
2) The tubing accidentally gets wrapped around an object while

a lift or transfer is being performed.
3) It is accidentally pulled out by the caregiver or the individual
being lifted.
The airline is connected to a grey rubber grommet located on the
underside of the lift. Refer to figure 13A.
Small metal ribbed pins located at the end of the airline hold the
airline to this rubber grommet in a specific manner. Therefore it is
important to make sure that the airline is connected properly.
Both the grey airline and the rubber grommet have a grey rib on
one of their sides. Line up the grey ribs together. Refer to figure
13B. When this is done then the metal ribbed pins attached to the
end of the airline can be re-inserted into the corresponding holes
in the rubber grommet on the underside of the lift. Be sure to insert the pins into the grey rubber grommet sufficiently so that it is
secure. Refer to figure 13C.
Perform a brief test to ensure proper connectivity. Turn the lift
ON and OFF. Raise and lower the carry bar. For motorized traverse lifts move the lift left and then right. If these functions work
correctly then the airline is properly connected.
If the lift does not work properly, check to ensure that the grey
ribs on the grey rubber grommet on the underside of the lift and
the airline tubing are lined up properly. If they are not lined up
properly, then remove the airline, line up the grey lines and then
re-insert it into the rubber grommet. Perform the test as noted in
the preceding paragraph. If there are still problems with the lift
then contact your local authorized dealer for service.
Operation
Caution: Always, before using the C450/ C625 lift system, the lift, track and
sling (s) must be visually checked for any unusual wear, or damage. Refer to the user
manual with each piece of supplied equipment to determine what should be checked.
Should anything look unusual contact your local Prism Medical dealer prior to use.
Failure to comply with this caution could result in serious injury to the operator, the individual being lifted and/or damage to the lift.

If you have a motorized traversing lift, use the blue or yellow colored
directional hand control buttons to move the lift. The blue and yellow
buttons correspond to the blue and yellow directional arrows on the underside of the lift. The direction therefore that is taken is determined by
the color of the button that is pressed. This works the same no matter
what side of the lift a person is standing on.
Refer to figures 6A, 6B and
6C.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the lift along the
track. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury
to the individual in the sling and/or damage to the lift.

This can be accomplished in one of
two ways. If the installed “H” traversing beam is
manually traversing then the
beam is moved along the support
tracks by manually moving the
beam, lift, and individual in one motion. This movement is the same as
that used for a manual traversing
