WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
Repeated mechanical emergency lowering leads
to a high increase of the lowering speed.
– Only use the mechanical emergency lowering
as a back-up when the emergency lowering on
the control unit is not working.
– Do not use the mechanical emergency lowering
repeatedly in close succession.
– Always lower the patient onto a supporting
surface like a bed or a chair.
– After a mechanical emergency lowering was
required, the lift must be checked to resolve
the malfunction of the control unit.
1. Locate the red
emergency grip A
at the bottom of the
actuator piston.
2. Slowly pull up the red
emergency grip A and
hold it in position when
a safe lowering speed
is reached.

with a fully pulled
emergency grip A,
push down on the
boom at the same
time.

The effective lowering speed is depending on the patient
weight. If the speed is too low or too high, it can be
adapted to the patient weight.
Adjusting the lowering speed:
1. Locate the screw in the bottom hole of the red
emergency grip A.
2. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase the speed.
3. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the speed.
