Chiltern Invadex Overhead Hoist
Intended Use of the Product The Wispa hoist has been designed to lift and transfer a less able person with the help of a carer. It should be used with a Wispa sling or other lifting accessories from the Chiltern Invadex range, as assessed by a trained person. Note: Not all slings and accessories are compatible with this hoist. If you are unsure please contact your nearest Chiltern Invadex regional office. The correct and appropriate use of this product will reduce the risks associated with manual patient handling. The lifting/transferring task should be assessed and planned by a trained person.
Safety Considerations Safety
2
•
Ensure that all users read this guide before operating the hoist.
•
Do not operate the Overhead Hoist without training in the safe operation of the hoist and slings.
•
Only use slings which have been assessed as suitable by a competent person.
•
Read the relevant Sling User Guide, which is provided with each sling. It explains in detail how to use slings correctly.
•
Do not use the hoist if there is any doubt about wear to the carry bar or there is fraying or stitch damage to the lifting tape or slings, or if the hoist itself is damaged in any way.
•
Do not exceed the Maximum load of the hoist. Wispa 200L,200LT,200LTX 200kgs (31 Stone) (440 lb) Wispa 300 272kgs (42 Stone) (598 lb)
•
Ensure when the hoist is in use that the surrounding area is clear and the person being lifted is clear of all objects.
User Guide
During use Overhead Hoist
•
Hoists should only be used to lift vertically. Lifting at an angle will wear the lifting tape prematurely.
After use
•
Return the hoist to the charging position when not in use.
•
The outer case, mechanical parts and track should only be removed by a qualified service engineer, trained by Chiltern Invadex.
•
Do not touch any of the moving parts in the hoist unit or in the track. Contact Chiltern Invadex for assistance.
•
Take care when attaching or removing a sling as a swinging carry bar could cause injury.
•
For maximum comfort always move the user in one movement and avoid stop/starting the hoist. Some occupants are reassured if the carer holds them whilst the hoist is traversing.

User Guide
Five Button Hand Control The five button hand control has the same function buttons as the three button hand control with the addition of a traversing function. The traversing function is controlled by the red buttons, on the handset. The buttons are colour coded with a solid red arrow and an outline red arrow. These colours correspond to the direction travel arrows on the underside of the hoist case. To control the direction of the hoist, view the coloured direction arrows mounted on the hoist and press the button on the hand control which corresponds in colour to the arrow on the hoist. The reset button is the red button in the top right hand corner on the handset. It resets the hoist for normal operation e.g after an alarm signal (refer to troubleshooting section on page 8). Seven Button Hand Control The seven button hand control has the same function buttons as the five button hand control, with the addition of the tracking for the X-Y system. The tracking X-Y function is controlled by the blue buttons, on the handset. The buttons are colour coded with a solid blue arrow and an outline blue arrow. These colours correspond to the direction travel arrows on the underside of the hoist case. To control the direction of the hoist, view the coloured direction arrows mounted on the hoist and press the button on the hand control which corresponds in colour to the arrow on the hoist. The reset button is the red button in the top right hand corner on the handset. It resets the hoist for normal operation e.g after an alarm signal (refer to troubleshooting section on page 8).
Emergency Stop
Fig 1.
The red pull cord provides an emergency cut out. If the cord is pulled once then the emergency stop is activated. To reset, pull the short piece of cord located on the top face of the hoist. Proceed to press the red reset button located on the handset. Three beeps sound when the hoist is then reset and ready to use.

Emergency Lowering In the unlikely event of a power failure or hoist malfunction the user may be lowered using the emergency lowering cord. To operate, pull the cord fully and hold. To reset follow the instructions as for emergency stop.
Charging Wispa Hoists When not in use it is VERY important to return the hoist to the end of the track where the charging unit for the batteries is housed. To engage the hoist with the charger, traverse the hoist to the end of the track. Correct engagement is signalled when the charging light glows red. Once the hoist is engaged, charging is automatic. After a period of time the light will flash green to indicate continuous charge ok. No further actions are required to charge the batteries. The batteries cannot be overcharged. Testing the Emergency Lowering Device Please Note: The emergency lowering device uses a seperate battery to allow the occupant of the hoist to be lowered in the event of an emergency. The emergency lowering device should be tested and the battery replaced if necessary at each service and after use. Frequent testing of this device in non-emergency situations will quickly discharge the battery. Battery Low Indicator The battery low indicator will beep with the appropriate audio sequence and flashing red light when the hoist’s batteries are in need of charging. This is unlikely to happen unless the hoist is used for long periods of time without charging, or the hoist has not been properly ‘parked’ in its charger, to recharge the batteries. Always return the hoist to the charging position. A full list of audio warning signals are included in appendix A on page 8. Maximum Load The hoist has inbuilt safety features which prevent the maximum load being exceeded. Note: The hoist will not lift beyond the maximum rated load.

User Guide
Servicing and Maintenance Based upon EN10535 and health and safety executive guidance Chiltern Invadex recommend that hoists are fully serviced, including a load test, at least every 12 months with an interim six monthly inspection to LOLER requirements. Prices are available from Chiltern Invadex Service Offices. The frequency of servicing should be increased in areas where the environment or heavy usage may cause deterioration of the equipment. Further details can be obtained from any Chiltern Invadex Office, shown on the back of this booklet. Chiltern Invadex and its Authorised Dealers are able to carry out all aspects of servicing and maintenance work. Maintenance of this equipment should only be conducted by engineers trained and certified by Chiltern Invadex. Keep the service record (at the back of this booklet) up to date. DO NOT USE IF: 1. There is any damage to the hoist. 2. There is fraying or stitch damage to the lifting tape, or slings. To ensure maximum cleanliness Wipe with a dry cloth (track and hoist). For stubborn marks use a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. Always read the manufacturers instructions prior to applying the cleanser. Slings should be washed in accordance with the instructions on the label, sewn into the sling.
