Optimal pattern of operation
Normal travel in corridors and open areas
Ensure that the rear wheels are in the normal position, see Fig. 1.
Grasp the handlebar and hold in the safety switch, then move the lift. The lift
will sense both the desired direction of travel and speed. The lift has a greater
turning radius at this setting.
When manoeuvring in confined areas
the rear castor wheel function can be used
to advantage. Manoeuvre the lift as far as possible at this setting, then press
the button for rear wheel adjustment and hold it pressed in until the desired
wheel angle is obtained, see Fig. 2. The yellow LED light on the control panel
indicates that the wheels are in the turned position. Grasp the handlebar and
hold in the safety switch, then turn the lift in the desired direction to rotate.
If the button for rear wheel adjustment is held in until the wheels stop in their
outermost position, the lift can be moved all the way to one side, see Fig. 3;
This setting can be very useful for repositioning the user further up in bed,
for example. If the low-speed symbol is pressed, the max. speed is limited,
thereby enabling greater precision in confined spaces.
NOTE!
Be aware of the pinch point when the rear wheels are turning.
