5.2 Adjusting hoist leg opening width
The legs of Mackworth Essentials 180 Hoist are electrically operated
for opening and closing to adjust the base width. The legs can be
opened to enable access around arm chairs or wheel chairs. When
relocating the hoist, manoeuvring through narrow doorways and/or
passages, the hoist legs should be in the closed position.
Leg adjustment is achieved by pressing
appropriate buttons on the hand control.
The legs’ motion will be stopped whenever
the hand control button is released.
5.3 Raising and lowering the boom
The up and down movement of the boom
on the Mackworth Essentials 180 Hoist is
achieved by a powerful electric actuator
which is controlled by hand control.
The hand control has two buttons with
directional arrows
up
and
down
. The
actuator stops automatically at the limit of
travel in both directions.
5.4 Emergency stop button
The Mackworth Essentials 180 mobile hoist
is fitted with an Emergency Stop button.
Push the Emergency Stop button (as shown
in Fig.15) to cut all power on the mobile
hoist (an audible beep will be heard if
the emergency button is pressed during
operation of the boom or leg opening).
To resume power, release the emergency
stop button by turning in a clockwise
direction (indicated by arrows on the
Emergency Stop button) as shown in Fig.16.
