Charging the battery with lift-mounted battery charger: With control box, battery charger, and battery
assembled, insert the battery charger plug into a standard 110V receptacle. A green light signifying
power and a yellow light signifying that the battery is charging will illuminate on the battery charger.
When the battery is fully charged, the yellow light will shut off. The lift is now ready for use.
Note: The patient lift will not operate during lift-mounted battery charging.
Charging the battery with wall-mounted battery charger: Remove the battery from its bracket on the
patient lift by placing your hand on top of the battery, curling your fingers behind the battery, and
pulling up on the metal handle. Pull the battery up and toward you to remove. Place the battery on top
of the wall-mounted battery charger. A green light signifying power and a yellow light signifying that the
battery is charging will illuminate on the battery charger. When the battery is fully charged, the yellow
light will shut off. When battery charging is complete, place the battery back on the patient lift. Ensure
that the tabs on the battery are fully engaged with the bracket. The lift is now ready for use.
Emergency Procedures (LF1040 only)
Emergency stop: The control box is equipped with a red Emergency Stop button. This button is to be
used in the event the hand control ceases to function correctly. To engage, hit the button firmly with the
palm of your hand. The button will lock in the depressed position, stopping all motor functions. To
disengage, turn the button clockwise, and it will return to its normal position.
Emergency lowering: The motor is equipped with an
Emergency Release, which is located on top of the
motor as shown in the picture at right. To engage, pull
up on the release, which will disengage the gearing in
the cylinder, and lower the patient. The emergency
release is adjustable by turning the screw adjacent to the
pull stem. Turn the screw clockwise to increase and
counter-clockwise to decrease the sensitivity of the
release mechanism.
Warning: Use caution when using the emer-
gency release. Pull back slowly on the re-
lease, which will gradually lower the patient.
Pulling back too quickly could cause the
patient to be lowered too rapidly, which
could result in serious injury. Do not, under
any circumstances, use the emergency
release for lowering the patient when the
hand control and battery are operating
correctly. The emergency release should not
be used in lieu of the hand control and
battery.
