•
Always ensure the gantry track is directly above
the clients centre of gravity. Hoists should only be
used to lift vertically. Lifting at an angle will wear
the lifting tape prematurely and affect the stability
of the gantry.
•
Always ensure the top beam is horizontal and the
leg adjustment pin is located in the same position
on each side.
•
All fixings should be checked on a regular basis.
•
The cassette case and mechanical parts should
only be removed by a qualified service engineer,
trained by Chiltern Invadex.
•
Do not touch any of the moving parts in the hoist
unit or in the track. Call Chiltern Invadex for assistance.
•
Always ensure the legs are positioned as shown
in Fig 13 of this user guide
•
Take care when moving around the gantry to avoid
trip hazards such as the legs, handwheels and
potential injury from the corner quadrant.
•
Take care when attaching or removing a sling as a
swinging carry bar or hoist could cause injury.
•
For maximum comfort always move the user in one
movement and avoid stop/starting the hoist.
Some occupants are reassured if the carer holds
them whilst the hoist is traversing across the track.
•
Never leave a client unattended on the gantry.
•
Keep this user guide readily available for other users.
•
Always ensure there is sufficient clearance width
and height to erect/dismantle the gantry.
•
If the gantry is to be dismantled always remove the
Wispa Lite portable hoist from the gantry
before
attempting to dismantle the gantry. The hoist should
be lowered onto a bed, chair or a Chiltern Invadex
transportation trolley before it is disconnected from
the gantry track.
