6 OPERATION Raising/Lowering an Electric 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. Raising the Lift Press the UP () button to raise the boom and the patient. Lowering the Lift Press the DOWN () button to lower the boom and the patient. Activating a Mechanical Emergency Release Primary Emergency Release To activate the primary emergency release, insert a pen into the hole labeled "emergency" on the control box of the lift and push down on the boom at the same time. All lift actuators are equipped with a mechanical Emergency release. The mechanical release will enable the actuator to retract without power. The actuator will only retract while under load and the mechanical Emergency release is pulled. The release is colored reddish orange with the word Emergency spelled out in white.
