If necessary, initiate the movement by pushing
on the back of the base with your foot. Do not
push on the legs.
WARNING:
Never attempt to manoeuvre
the lift by pulling on the mast, boom, actuator
or patient. Doing so could cause incidents
resulting in injuries.

Never attempt to push or pull a loaded lift over
DÀRRUREVWUXFWLRQZKLFKWKHFDVWRUVDUHXQDEOH
to ride over easily, including steps, door
thresholds or moving sidewalk.
Do not push the lift at a speed which exceeds a
slow walking pace (3 km/hour or 0.8 meter/
second).
Emergency Lowering
This feature allows the boom to be lowered in
the event of a main control failure.
In the event of a hand control or control box
failure, locate the red handle above the actuator.
Gradually pull the handle up and hold it until the
actuator is lowered to the desired level. The
force exerted on the handle and the patient
weight affects the speed of descent.

WARNING
: Before operating the “emergency
lowering”, always ensure that a suitable
support is underneath, ready to receive, the
patient.
The handle is spring loaded and will return to
normal position and stop the lowering process
when released. Note that a load must be applied
to the boom for the device to function.
CAUTION:
This function should only be used
in the event of control failure, and not as a
regular lowering function for the equipment.
Automatic Cut-out
During lifting
This feature will stop the lifting motion in the
event where the
Maxi 500
is trying to raise a
patient heavier than the SWL.
During lowering
This feature disables the down motion when
the boom is being lowered onto the patient or
any other obstruction.
Sleep Mode
The control box includes an automatic switch-
off control that disables part of the circuitry, after
2 minutes of inactivity, to prevent battery from
draining.
Power is re-established when a control button
is pressed.

The hour meter is
an LCD display
which shows the

powered operation
(in hours).
This is primarily
intended as an aid
for scheduling maintenances.
