General
DANGER
Do not use the LiftMate in an explosive or oxygen-
rich atmosphere. To do so will result in an explo-
sion or fire.
WARNING
If the LiftMate malfunctions, immediately remove
your hand from the controls, press one of the
“Emergency Stop” buttons, unplug the power
cord from the electrical receptacle, and assist the
patient from the unit. If LiftMate continues to mal-
function, call for service. Do not attempt to repair
LiftMate yourself.
WARNING
Keep personnel and equipment clear of LiftMate
before initiating movement to avoid personal injury
or damage to the equipment.
OPERATION
CAUTION
The hand pendant is moisture resistant and runs
on low voltage, eliminating shock hazards. Howev-
er, to avoid temporary or permanent damage to the
hand pendant, do not immerse in water or liquids.
CAUTION
Keep foreign objects away from hand pendant. To
avoid accidental operation, be sure the hand pen-
dant is NOT positioned between the LiftMate and
any other object. Failure to do so could result in
unwanted motion and possible injury to patient or
operator, or damage to LiftMate or exam table.
NOTE: For optimum LiftMate performance, allow the unit
to reach room temperature before operating.
NOTE: The LiftMate is not designed for continuous op-
eration. The control system includes a thermal overload
safety switch to protect from overheating. If the unit is
operated continuously causing the control to exceed its
allowable operating temperature, the thermal overload
safety switch will shut off. If normal operation ceases,do
not attempt to operate the unit. Allow the unit to cool for
10-15 minutes before attempting to use again. The ther-
mal overload switch will automatically reset when it has
reached a safe operating temperature.
NOTE: Each control function will automatically stop
moving when either the UP or DOWN travel limit is
reached. If the hand pendant is pressed with travel at
its limit, the actuator will not operate. Sensors prevent
the actuator motor from operating when travel limit has
been reached, preventing wear of the actuator.
