Elevate
1. Leg adjustment
The legs on the Oxford Elevate are electrically adjustable for width. The legs can be opened to
enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating narrow doorways
and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position.
Electric leg adjustment - is achieved by pressing the appropriate buttons on the handcontrol. The
legs will be locked whenever the handcontrol switch is released.
2. Castors and Braking
The lift has two braked castors which can be applied for parking. When lifting, the castors should
be left free and un-braked. The lift will then be able to move to the centre of gravity of the lift. If
the brakes are applied it is the patient that will swing to the centre of gravity and this may prove
disconcerting and uncomfortable.
3. Raising and lowering the boom
The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator, which is controlled by a
simple handcontrol unit. The handcontrol has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN
áâ. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The handcontrol
plugs into a socket at the base of the control box.
4. Emergency Stop
The red Emergency Stop Button is located on the front of the control box and is activated by
pressing in. This will cut all power to the lift and only be reset by twisting the button anti-clockwise
and releasing.
5. Electrical Emergency Down/Up
Emergency lower (down) and raise (up) buttons are provided at the front of the control box. This
is operated by inserting a ballpoint pen into the button highlighted áâ. This will bring the boom
up or down should the handcontrol fail at any time.
NOTE: This is an emergency device and not intended for repetitive use.
6. Mechanical Emergency Down
In the case of a complete electrical failure the electrical actuator is fitted with mechanical lowering
device (RED BOSS). This will only operate when the lift is under load. The device must be pulled
upwards to activate, and a slow decent will commence.
Note: The MINIMUM load required to manually lower the hoist using the mechanical emergency
down function is 30 kg. This is an emergency device and not intended for repetitive use.
7. Batteries
The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM. This will sound
when the batteries need recharging and the handcontrol is being operated. It will not sound
independently of the handcontrol being operated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM.
Complete the lifting operation and place the battery on charge (see charging instructions).
Battery or charger is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. (Contact your distributor or
Joerns Healthcare for warranty and repairs).
