4. Safety Precautions

Please read and follow the safety precautions listed below. The operation and use of Oxford

patient lifts is simple and straightforward. Following these few basic safety precautions will

make lifting operations easy and trouble free.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE USER INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USING

YOUR “CLASSIC” LIFT

WARNING: Important safety information for hazards that might cause serious injury.

CAUTION: Information for preventing damage to the product.

NOTE: Information to which you should pay special attention.

WARNING

• Oxford Patient Lifts should only be operated by fully trained/competent care givers.

• ALWAYS plan your lifting operations before commencing.

• ALWAYS carry out the DAILY CHECK LIST before using the lift.

• ALWAYS familiarise yourself with the operating control and safety features of a lift

before lifting a patient.

• DO NOT use a sling unless it is recommended for use with the lift.

• ALWAYS check the sling is suitable for the particular patient and is of the correct size

and capacity.

• NEVER use a sling which is frayed or damaged.

• ALWAYS fit the sling according to the instructions provided (user instructions).

• ALWAYS check the safe working load of the lift is suitable for the weight of the

patient.

• ALWAYS carry out lifting according to the instructions in the user manual.

• NEVER disconnect or bypass a control or safety feature because it seems easier to

operate the lift.

• NEVER force an operating or safety control. All controls are easy to use and do

not require excessive force to operate. If a control is not working easily there will be

a reason. Forcing will only strain or damage the lift and may compromise safety. If in

doubt, contact your authorised Oxford Service Provider or Joerns Healthcare.

• DO NOT lift a patient with the castor brakes on.

• DO NOT attempt to manoeuvre the lift by pushing on the mast, boom or patient.

• ALWAYS manoeuvre the lift using the handles provided. DO NOT attempt to apply

additional side force to the boom or legs of the lift in order to manoeuvre the product.

LCD Display Screen:

The Oxford Smart Monitor has the option to read out information via the LCD display screen. It

is possible to read out total lifting cycles, total work done, overloads and number of days since

last service, which can be used to quickly and easily evaluate the condition of the lift actuator

(Fig. 12).

This information is accessed by a ½ second press on the ‘RAISE’ button on the User handset or

redundant ‘RAISE’ button on the Smart Monitor.

Service & Usage Information:

When it is time for a service, the service symbol will appear on the

display (Fig. 13). In addition, when the user handset is activated, the

Smart Monitor will give an audible signal giving notice to users that a

service is required.

The service symbol will be displayed each time the raise or lower

keys are depressed on the user handset. When the service symbol

is displayed, contact your authorised service provider immediately to

arrange a service.

If the lift stops because of an overload (an attempt to lift more than the

safe working load) the overload symbol will appear on the LCD display

(Fig. 14) and the lift will cease to operate until the additional load

(above the SWL) has been removed.

WARNING

If the LCD display screen on your Smart Monitor has recorded

an overload, Joerns Healthcare recommend that ALL routine daily

checks are carried out on the lift prior to further use (for a list

of daily checks, please refer to your lift user manual). Joerns

Healthcare also recommend that you contact your authorised

Oxford service provider for additional guidance.

On-Board Redundant Controls:

On-board redundant controls enable the lift to be raised or lowered in

the event of an emergency (Fig. 15).

If your lift incorporates powered leg positioning, there are redundant

controls to both open and close the legs. (Fig 16).

Battery Information:

The display showing full battery means that the battery is fully

charged and the lift is ready for use (Fig. 17).

The display showing a half empty battery indicates that it is time to

charge the battery (Fig. 18).

The empty battery symbol showing on the display indicates that

the battery has no capacity left and should be placed on charge

immediately (Fig. 19).

WARNING

To avoid possible permanent damage to the battery, the battery should be placed on

charge as soon as the display indicates the half empty battery symbol (Fig. 18).

6. Operating Instructions

WARNING

Oxford Patient Lifts should only be operated by fully trained/competent care givers

1. Leg adjustment: The legs on Oxford Classic lifts can be opened to enable access around

armchairs, wheelchairs and other furniture. For transferring and negotiating narrow door-

ways and passages, the lift legs should be in the closed position.

Electric Leg Operation: Simply press the appropriate button on the hand control in order

to open or close the legs. You may also use the redundant control soft keys located on the

front of the control box above the LCD display screen.

Foot Pedal Leg Operation: Simply operate the push-pads, located at the lower/rear

of the mast. To open the legs, simply depress the LEFT push-pad. To close the legs,

depress the RIGHT push-pad.

In either case, the adjustment can be carried out with the patient in the lift.

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 unbraked. The lift will then be able to

move to its centre of gravity. 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. Direction of travel (Forward motion): The Classic

range of mobile lifts are designed to be pushed

forwards using the integrated push-handle.

4. Straight line steering (where fitted): One of the rear castors is fitted with a straight line

steering device. To engage the device simply swing the ‘U’ shaped bar over the rear cas-

tor. The device will automatically engage as you move off.

5. Raising and lowering the boom (electric models): The movement of the boom is

achieved by a powerful electric actuator which is controlled by a simple hand control unit.

The hand control has two buttons with directional arrows RAISE and LOWER. The actuator

stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The hand control plugs into a

socket at the base of the control box. There is a magnetic backing to the hand control

which allows it to be “parked” on the mast or boom when not in use.

6. Emergency stop (Electric only): The red emergency stop button is located on the control

box and is activated by pressing in. This will cut all power to the lift and can only be reset

by twisting the button clockwise and releasing.

7. Redundant controls: All Oxford Classic Lifts are fitted with raise and lower buttons on the

control box. These are located underneath the emergency stop button and can be used to

lower/raise the patient should the hand control fail.

Fig. 20

17

English Oxford®

Classic Lis

8. Emergency lower: In the case of a complete electrical failure the electrical actuator

is fitted with a mechanical lowering device (RED BOSS). The device must be twisted

clockwise by hand to operate. A slow decent will commence. Repeat this process until the

patient has been safely lowered.

WARNING

The emergency lowering device should only be used in the event of electrical

failure. It must not be used to lower the patient on a regular basis.

WARNING

If this feature is used, the lift MUST be subsequently checked out by a competent

engineer.

WARNING

Continued use of the hoist after using the emergency descent feature may

compromise the duty of care and safety of the patient.

9. Batteries: The batteries are protected from deep discharge by a LOW VOLTAGE

ALARM. This will sound when the batteries need recharging and the hand control is being

operated. It will not sound independently of the hand control being operated. DO NOT

IGNORE THIS WARNING ALARM. Complete the lifting operation and place the battery on

charge (see charging instructions).

10. Raising and lowering the boom (hydraulic models only): The raising and lowering

of the boom is achieved by a powerful hydraulic ram which is operated by two simple

controls. The release valve, which is identified by a black knurled knob, and the pump

handle which is a long lever on the side of the hydraulic unit.

To raise the boom, ensure the release valve is closed. The valve is closed by gently

turning the knurled knob fully clockwise. When closed, pump the long handle with smooth

even strokes for maximum effect. The handle strokes from an upright position through an

arc of 90 degrees. Leave the handle in the upright position when not in use.

WARNING

DO NOT force the handle beyond the upper or lower stops. The hydraulic unit can

be rotated to allow the handle to be used from either side of the lift.

Fig. 21

18

English

Oxford®

Classic Lis

To lower the boom, turn the release valve anti-clockwise. The release valve is progressive,

the more it is opened the faster the descent. The valve is restricted so even when fully

open the descent is controlled. This facility allows for a “hands free” descent.

If the release valve is opened a fraction (a quarter turn) a very slow speed of descent will

allow the carer to work “hands free” while assisting or comforting the patient.

REMEMBER to close the release valve before commencing lifting operations. The release

valve only requires gentle pressure to open or close.

WARNING

DO NOT apply excessive force to the release valve, either to close or to open. It is

not necessary and will only damage the valve.

11. Slings: The selected sling is attached to the spreader bar hooks. Each sling is supplied

with instructions which should be followed carefully.

The Oxford Classic Lift range is suitable for patients in the SITTING, SITTING/

RECUMBENT and RECUMBENT positions. The core slings suitable for these lifts are

listed as follows:

• Oxford Quickfit • Oxford Full Back

• Oxford Quickfit Deluxe • Oxford Long Seat

• Oxford Access • Oxford Silkfit

When selecting a sling from the Oxford range, be sure to assess the suitability of the type of

sling for the patient to be lifted by conducting a thorough risk assessment prior to lifting.

NOTE: For detailed fitting instructions, please refer to the user guide supplied with each sling.

WARNING

Joerns Healthcare recommends that slings be checked regularly and particularly

before each use for signs of fraying or damage. DO NOT use slings that are worn or

damaged.

WARNING

OXFORD RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE OXFORD PARTS. Oxford sling and

lift products are designed to be compatible with one another. For country specic

guidance on sling use and compatibility, please refer to the sling label or contact

your local market distributor or Joerns Healthcare.

WARNING

Refer to maximum weight capacity of lift. Sling capacity is limited by the

maximum capacity of the lift.

NOTE: For further guidance on sling selection, please visit www.joerns.co.uk

7. Charging Instructions (Electric Models Only)

When the power pack needs charging it is removed from the lift and fitted to an off board

charging unit.

Joerns Healthcare recommend an additional battery pack is purchased, so that one pack can

be on charge at all times.

1. Remove the power pack from the lift. The pack is retained by a simple latch at the top of the

power pack. Lift the latch and the power pack will be released.

2. Fit the power pack to the charging unit. The location and latching of the power pack to the

charger is the same system as used on the lift.

3. Plug the charger mains plug into a suitable mains outlet and switch the mains supply ON.

4. Charging is automatic and will fully charge the batteries over a period of four (4) hours.

Note: Even if the charger is left plugged in for extended periods it will not allow the batteries

to overcharge.

a) Green Light - Indicates main power is on.

b) Yellow Light - Indicates battery is charging.

c) Battery will be fully charged when yellow light goes off.

Note: It is recommended that the battery be charged immediately upon receipt.

5. To return the lift to service, switch OFF the mains supply and remove the power pack from

the charger. Fit the power pack to the lift and make sure the latch holding the pack in place

is fully engaged. “Click” in place. The charging of Oxford electric lifts is simple and straight-

forward, but it is important to follow the charging instructions closely. Please pay particular

attention to the following points, they will help you avoid problems with discharged batteries.

WARNING

• The battery, charger, hand control and control box are NOT to be opened by

unauthorised personnel. (Contact your distributor for warranty and repairs).

• DO NOT touch battery/charger terminals.

• KEEP the batteries fully charged. Place the battery on charge whenever it is not in

use. If it is more convenient to do so, place on charge every night. The charger will not

allow the batteries to overcharge.

• NEVER run the batteries completely flat. As soon as the audible warning sounds,

complete the lifting operation in hand and place on charge.

• To avoid possible permanent damage to the battery, the battery should be placed on

charge as soon as the display indicates the half empty battery symbol.

• NEVER store the battery for long periods without regular charging throughout the stor-

age period.

• ALWAYS make sure the mains power to the charger is switched o before connecting or

disconnecting the battery pack.

• NEVER leave the battery pack connected with the charger mains power switched off.

• DO NOT leave the charger switched on with the battery disconnected.
