5.5 Emergency lowering of the boom
5.5.1 Electrical emergency lowering
The hoist boom can be lowered by pushing
the emergency lowering button on the
control box with a suitable object, such as a
pen nib or pencil (as shown in Fig.17).
5.5.2 Mechanical emergency lowering
In case of power failure, it is possible to
mechanically lower a patient placed in
Mackworth Essentials 180 mobile hoist.
Turn the manual lowering handle in
clockwise direction (as shown in Fig.18)
to lower the boom until the boom reaches
a safe position.
The manual emergency lowering system should be used only if the
lowering procedures described in the previous section of the manual
do not work. Should you have any concerns or questions contact
your local authorized Prism Medical Representative.
WARNING
Do not use the hoist after the manual lowering mechanism has
been used. The lift must be reset by a qualified technician after use.
Contact your local authorised Prism Medical UK Service Provider.
