SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. 1.

For safety precautions only properly trained personal should use the hoist. The KH 404DU Swift-Drive is manufactured and tested to handle a MAXIMUM safe working load of 150 Kg.

2.

The KH 404DU Swift-Drive 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 this may create an unsafe working condition.

3.

EMERGENCY STOP: The KH 404DU Swift-Drive is fitted with an emergency stop. This is the big red switch, located on the front of the controller. If there is a need to use this, simply depress the switch and it will automatically lock the position and cut all power to the electrical system. To disengage the emergency stop switch after it has been depressed, turn the red switch in a clockwise direction and the switch should return to its original position.

4.

EMERGENCY LOWERING AND RAISING. The emergency lowering/raising buttons can be used to lower/raise the lifter if there is an electrical or 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 pin or compass) the button which you require. To halt the process, remove the pressure applied to the switch.

5.

LIFTING OF PATIENTS. For safety precautions only properly trained personal should use the lifter. When connecting the sling to the patient, please ensure the fitting instructions are adhered too. (Located on the sling or in the sling instruction brochure).

6.

Serial No., Model No., and Date of Manufacture are located on back cover.

7.

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

8.

HOIST USAGE This hoist is designed to lift and transfer paitents from one area to another used in conjunction with the appropriate Kerry Equipment Sling. For further instruction consult the sling brochure supplied with your sling(s). 9.

While all care has been taken to eliminate all possible trap points on the hoist, there is potential for trapping your feet between the castors and legs, to avoid injury all personnel are to keep feet clear of this area during use.

10.

On a daily basis before using the hoist, check over for any damage, cracking etc. and for loose parts. This is to ensure safety for the hoist operator and patient.

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.

1.1b LEG GATING: To OPEN or CLOSE the “Gate” on the legs, simply press the touch pad hand controller with the required function. (Fig 4 shows the lower set of switches that operate the leg “gate”). Open on the left, close on the right.

BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE 1.

CHARGING

Before the KH 404 DU can be operated the batteries will need to be charged. Please follow the instructions below. 2.1 Plug the charger unit (Fig 6) into the 240-Volt supply outlet. Plug the charger into the recharge socket to start recharging (Fig 7) 2.2 The POWER ON LIGHT (RED) and CHARGING LIGHT (ORANGE) on the front of the charger will be displayed. The battery is fully charged when the GREEN LIGHT is on. NOTE: A battery pack may remain on charge indefinitely without any detrimental effects to the battery or charging unit.

Fig 7: Recharge socket 3.

BATTERY CARE

The KH 404 DU uses fully sealed lead acid batteries. Which are designed to 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 The KH404 DU hoist requires servicing at a recommended period of 6 monthly intervals to ensure optimal operation at all times. If the hoist is subject to large amounts of use, then it is recommended to have the hoist dismantled by a qualified service personnel and inspected for signs of wear at 2-year periods. This is dependant on use. In the unlikely event of fault or substantial wear contact your place of purchase or Kerry equipment directly.

LUBRICATION The KH 404 DU SWIFT-DRIVE require 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 castors need to be lubricated monthly (Use TAC-2 only). This involves: -

1.1

The Castor head bearing will need lubricating. Simply spray TAC-2 up into the bearing while rotating the castor (Fig 7). 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 8).

Fig 7 2.

Fig 8

BASE PIVOT POINTS

All pivot points will need to be lubricated with TAC-2 or similar lubricant. Simply spray for 2 seconds on each side of the recommended points monthly. 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: 2.0.1 Both people are to stand on one side of the hoist. One near the push handle, the other by the side of the hoist. 2.0.2

The person near the push handle locks the total lock castors.

2.0.3

In conjunction with one another pull the hoist towards the side, lowering the hoist onto its side on the floor.

2.0.4

The hoist can lie on its side without damage to the plastic cover, but care must be taken when lowering/raising.

You now have access to ALL the lubrication points. ie: pivot points, leg lever, leg pivot etc.
