Safety

Please be aware of the following possible risks when using the hoist:
The hoist must be carefully supervised if the patient is a child.
Please note that it is more difficult to manoeuvre the hoist on carpeted or uneven/
textured surfaces as opposed to wooden or flat surfaces; this is due to the starting
forces required to initiate the movement that may create additional friction exerted
on the castors.
It is recommended not to move the user with the jib at maximum height. Take great
care when moving the hoist on carpeted, wet, slippery, rough or uneven surfaces.
Never use on slopes.
Caution! Never attempt to lift a patient outside the base area of the hoist. When
lifting a patient from the floor, the patient must always be located between the two
hoist legs, and never outside this area.
To avoid injury, utmost care must be taken when raising and lowering a patient.
