Functions

Emergency stop
In an emergency, the emergency stop can be
activated by pressing the RED button. To reset
the emergency stop, turn the RED button
clockwise.

Emergency lowering

In event of an emergency the emergency low-
ering function can be used. Press emergency
lowering button and down button at least 3
seconds simultaneously to activate the emer-
gency lowering. Older lifts (before july 2016)
may not have double key command and delay.
An audio signal indicates that the lift is lowering.
Always ensure that emergency lowering can be
performed as safely as possible for the patient.
The emergency lowering button only works
when the lift is switched on and emergency stop
has been deactivated. When the emergency
lowering is active, the end position switches are
inactive. If the button is pushed until the lift is
in its lowest position, the lift will start to go up
again. Always stop at the lowest position.
The emergency lowering button
o
must only be used in emergency
situations.
Safety catch
The lift is equipped with a safety catch. This
prevents involuntary falls. If the lift belt is
pulled out too quickly, the safety catch will
engage, thus preventing the fall. Slacken the
lift belt to unlock the catch. With the safety
catch engaged, the lever (10) can never be
turned, as this blocks the lowering function of
the lift!

Mechanical emergency lowering
During power loss and the hoist is loaded, user in
the hoist, the mechanical emergency lowering is
activated and the hoist is lowering in a safe and
reliable manner.
Overheating
The lift has overheating protection which stops
the motor if it gets too hot. Overheating can
occur if the motor is overloaded or operated
continuously for quite a long time. The lift's
work cycle (work:pause) is 15:85. Maximum
continuous operation is two minutes. If this
is exceeded, there is a risk of the motor
overheating.
Belt tension guard
The lift is equipped with a belt tension guard
that prevents unintentional discharging of the
lift belt. The lift must be loaded in order to
be able to pull the belt out. This means that
when the lift is lowered to a surface, the lift
belt is only fed out if it is pulled upwards while
the DOWN button on the hand control or the
control panel is held pressed in. The purpose of
this is to pull out enough of the lift belt in order
to be able to hook the lift onto the suspension
hook, or to unhook it.
Two Speeds
When the lift is loaded with less than approx.
40 kg it can be run at two speeds. If the Up
or Down button is pressed for longer than 3
seconds, the lift will run in the faster mode. If
the lift is loaded with more than approx. 40 kg
it will only run in the slower mode.
