Joerns ® Lifting and RepositioningHoyer ® HPL700 and HPL700 WSCOperationRead carefully the “Important Precautions” sectionbefore attempting to use the lift.Warning: The Hoyer ® lift is not intended to bea transport device. Patients in the lift should betransferred for short distances only (example: bedto chair or toilet).Warning: Do not attempt to maneuver the lift bypulling on the mast, boom, actuator or patient.Caution: Have someone assist you whenattempting to transfer a patient.Always carry out the daily checklist before eachlift use.Operating Controls1. Leg AdjustmentThe legs on the Hoyer HPL700 are electricallyadjustable for width. The legs can be openedto enable access around armchairs orwheelchairs. For transferring and negotiatingnarrow doorways and passages, the lift legsshould be in the closed position. Electricleg adjustment is achieved by pressing theappropriate buttons on the hand control. Thelegs will be locked whenever the hand controlswitch is released.2. Casters and BrakingThe lift has two braked casters which can beapplied for parking. When lifting, the castersshould be left free and un-braked (the onlyexception is when lifting a patient from thefloor). The lift will then be able to move tothe center of gravity of the lift. If the brakesare applied it is the patient that will swingto the center of gravity and this may provedisconcerting and uncomfortable.3. Raising and Lowering the BoomThe movement of the boom is achieved by apowerful electric actuator which is controlledby a simple hand control unit. The handcontrol has two buttons with directionalarrows UP («) and DOWN (»). The actuatorstops automatically at the limit of travel inboth directions. The hand control plugs into asocket at the base of the control box.4. Emergency StopThe red Emergency Stop Button is located onthe front of the control box and is activated bypressing in. This will cut all power to the lift andcan be reset by twisting the button counterclockwiseand releasing.5. Electrical Emergency Down/UpEmergency lower (down) and raise (up) buttonsare provided at the front of the control box. Thisis operated by inserting the tip of a ballpoint pen,or similar object into the button highlighted «».This will bring the boom up or down should thehand control fail.6. Mechanical Emergency DownIn the case of a complete electrical failure,the electric actuator is fitted with mechanicallowering device (RED TRIGGER). This will onlyoperate when the lift is under load. The devicemust be pulled upwards to activate, and theboom will descend slowly.Caution: Mechanical emergency down is to beused for emergency purposes only. Repeateduse may cause permanent damage to theactuator.7. BatteriesThe batteries are protected from deep dischargeby a LOW VOLTAGE ALARM. This will soundwhen the batteries need recharging and thehand control is being operated. It will notsound independently of the hand control beingoperated. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNINGALARM. Complete the lifting operation andplace the battery on charge (see charginginstructions).8. SlingsThe Hoyer HPL700 has a 6 point spreader bar.The 6 point system uses slings with webbingloops which allow positioning adjustment byselecting different colored straps.Loop Strap Slings: Hoyer Quick Fit and FullBack Slings.Warning: Never exceed the rated weightcapacity of the sling or the lift. Check thecapacity of the sling and the lift prior toperforming a transferThe 6 point system attaches to the spreader barhooks via loop straps. Each sling is suppliedwith instructions.
