6 OPERATION Raising/Lowering a Manual/Hydraulic Lift ƽ WARNING Invacare does not recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Invacare does recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting procedures to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary object. There are two controls on the pump assembly: • The control valve • The pump handle Raising the Hydraulic Lift The control valve must be in the closed position (control valve positioned towards pump handle) to move the pump handle up and down to elevate the boom and the patient until the boom locks in the notch of the bracket.
