SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

For safety precautions only properly trained personal should use the hoist. 1.

The KH 401 Multi-lift is manufactured and tested with safety and function for the carer and patients as the utmost importance. No parts should be removed from the hoist without approval as this may create an unsafe working condition.

2.

The MAXIMUM safe working load is 150 Kg’s.

3.

EMERGENCY LOWERING/RAISING: The emergency lowering/raising buttons can be used to lower/raise the hoist if there is a handset failure. The switches are located on the controller under the big red emergency stop switch. Simply press using a ballpoint pen or similar object, DO NOT use a sharp object such as a compass point.

4.

Always use the correct slings on the hoist.

5.

The hoist should not be used on rough or sloping surfaces. ie. Wheel chair ramps etc, and does not recommend that the hoist be used outdoors.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1.

INSTALLATION OF BATTERY PACK. Before the Multi-Lift Hoist can be operated the battery pack will need to be placed on charge (See - Charging Battery Instructions). When the battery pack is fully charged, remove the battery from the charger and place it on the hoist. Simply locate the battery on the mounting bracket and clip the release lever into the secure position. The Hoist is now ready for use. (fig 1)

2.

HANDSET:

2.1

RAISE/LOWER: The Hoist operates via a hand controller. To raise or lower the hoist, simply press the required switch on the touch pad. There are four switches on the hand controller for raising and lowering. The top two switches are for slow normal operation (tortoise); the middle two switches are for faster operation (hare). Simply choose the speed that suits your application. (fig 2)

3.

LEG GATING: To OPEN or CLOSE the “Gate” on the legs, simply press the hand controller with the required function. (The lower set of switches operates the leg “gate”). Open on the left, close on the right.

BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE 1.

MOUNTING OF THE CHARGING UNIT It is recommended that the charging unit be mounted on a wall out of the way of normal traffic, at approximately waist high, close to an electrical outlet. This will help in easy attachment and removal of the battery when charging is required.

2.

CHARGING Before the Hoist can be operated the battery pack will need to be charged. Minimum 4 hours for flat battery. Please follow the instructions below. 2.1 Plug the charger unit into the 240-Volt supply outlet. The unit is now ready to accept a battery that requires charging; a GREEN L.E.D. (ON) will be displayed. (fig 10) 2.2 To charge the battery, simply locate the battery on the mount bracket and clip into position. (The GREEN and ORANGE L.E.D. on the front of the charger will be displayed). The battery is fully charged when the ORANGE L.E.D. is OFF and only the GREEN L.E.D. is displayed. 2.3 If a two-battery system is going to be used, replace the first battery once charged, with the second battery. Charge as above. NOTE: A battery pack may remain on charge indefinitely without any detrimental effects to the battery or charging unit.

BATTERY CARE The batteries are fully sealed lead acid batteries, which should be recharged on a regular basis. To care for your batteries and obtain the maximum life DO NOT allow the batteries to run totally flat before recharging. The controller is fitted with an audio low battery warning alarm. When this warning alarm sounds complete the lift process, then change the battery and recharge. Kerry Equipment recommends that a 2-battery system be used; this allows one battery to always be on charge while the other is in use, and hence the hoist may never be out of service with a flat battery.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS LUBRICATION The Hoist requires periodical lubrication. These points are: 1.

CASTORS It is always best practice to remove all hair and lint from the castors as soon as possible, always allowing free movement of all the wheels. The head bearing will need lubricating monthly. Simply spray TAC-2 up into the bearing while rotating the castor.(fig 11) The wheel also requires lubricating every month. To do this the wheel must be unbolted and removed from the castor frame. TAC-2 can then be sprayed into the hub centre to lubricate the internal bearings. (fig 12)

Fig 11. 2.

Fig 12.

BASE PIVOT POINTS All pivot points will need to be lubricated monthly with TAC-2 or similar lubricant. Simply spray the recommended points for 2 seconds on either side. The hoist has to be turned onto its side for access to the following lubrication points. (To do this 2 people are required.) Follow the instruction below: 2.1 Both people are to stand on one side of the hoist. One near the push handle, the other by the side of the hoist. 2.2 The person near the push handle locks the total lock castors. 2.3 In conjunction with one another pull the hoist towards the side, lowering the hoist onto the floor. You now have access to all the lubrication points under the base. ie: pivot points, leg lever and leg pivot. Simply spray TAC-2 on all the pivot points for 2 seconds.

ARM, ACTUATOR and SPRING PIN LUBRICATION POINTS The arm pivot points will need to be lubricated monthly with TAC-2 or similar lubricant (fig 14.). Simply spray on each side of the recommended points as required. The boom removable socket and spring button/pin will also need lubricating as required. 4.1
