Figure 4. Caster Extend/Retract Button
Moving the LiftMate
The LiftMate moves about easily on four extendable/re-
tractable casters.
To extend casters depress the “PUSH AND HOLD TO
MOVE” button on the hand pendant. See Figure 4. Cast-
ers will extend allowing the LiftMate to be moved to the
desired location. The button must be held to keep casters
extended. Releasing the “PUSH AND HOLD TO MOVE”
button will cause casters to retract, lowering the LiftMate
onto the four base feet providing a stable unit for the
patient to step onto.
CAUTION
● Do not lower LiftMate onto wet, or slippery surfaces,
or onto objects that may cause imbalance
● Make sure operator and patients feet are clear of
unit before lowering.
● Make sure path of travel is free of obstructions that
may cause unit to tip.
