NOTE: The spreader bar must be attached to the lift tape and not supported on a surface in order

for the hand control controls to function.

A hook is provided on the back of the hand control to allow storage of the hand control on the

spreader bar when not in use.

Rail Systems Fitted with End Charge Stations:

Following the raising of the spreader bar to the upper limit, depressing the RETURN TO

CHARGE BUTTON commences the automatic traverse of the ceiling lift to the charge station.

When the ceiling lift reaches the charge station, traversing automatically ceases.

NOTE: If the spreader bar has not been raised to its upper limit, the return to charge function will

not operate.

Additionally, the LCD display screen must be in normal operating mode for the return to charge

function to operate. If the display screen is in programming mode the return to charge function

will not operate.

NOTE: The patient must detached from the ceiling lift before depressing the RETURN TO

CHARGE BUTTON. If the lift unit senses any load attached to the spreader bar the return to

charge function will not operate.

CAUTION

• For room covering X-Y rail systems and room covering X-Y rail systems incorporating

a gate mechanism which are fitted with end charge stations, the traversing rail must

be positioned so that it is in contact with the main charge point in the stationery rail

prior to pressing the return to charge button.

• For rail systems incorporating either a turntable or a switch track, the lift motor must

be manoeuvered so that it is positioned in the rail section incorporating the end

charge station prior to pressing the return to charge button.
