Operating Instructions

Always ensure the patient lift is on a stable, level surface before operation. Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of 140 kg.

Pre-Operation Checklist:

• Verify battery charge level.
• Ensure all wheels are free to move or locked as required for stability.
• Inspect the harness for any signs of wear or damage.
• Confirm the manual emergency descent device is accessible and understood.

Lifting a Patient:

1. Positioning: Carefully position the patient lift near the patient. Ensure the base arms are adjusted as needed using the rear foot pedal for stability.
2. Harness Application: Apply the patient harness according to the patient's needs and the harness design. Ensure the harness is snug and secure, providing proper head containment if applicable.
3. Attachment: Securely attach the harness straps to the four attachment points on the lifting arm. Double-check all connections.
4. Lifting: Using the wired control panel, press the "Up" button to slowly raise the patient. Monitor the patient's comfort and position throughout the lift.
5. Transfer: Once the patient is clear of the surface, carefully maneuver the lift using the ergonomic push handle to the desired transfer location.
6. Lowering: Using the wired control panel, press the "Down" button to slowly lower the patient onto the target surface (e.g., bed, wheelchair).
7. Detachment: Once the patient is safely seated and stable, detach the harness straps from the lifting arm and remove the harness.

Manual Emergency Descent:

In case of power failure or malfunction, the manual emergency descent device allows for safe lowering of the patient. Locate the manual descent lever/button (refer to product diagrams) and activate it to slowly lower the patient.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your KSP Gemini Patient Lift.

• Cleaning: Clean the frame and components regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Harness Care: Follow the washing instructions for the harness. Inspect it for tears, fraying, or damage before each use. Replace if damaged.
• Battery Charging: Charge the battery regularly, even if the lift is not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours.
• Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for debris and ensure they rotate freely. Lubricate if necessary. Verify brake functionality.
• Structural Integrity: Inspect the steel frame, welds, and all connection points for any signs of damage, bending, or corrosion. The paint finish is delicate; avoid impacts to prevent chipping and potential rust.
• Actuator and Control Panel: Ensure the actuator operates smoothly and the control panel buttons respond correctly. Check the cable for any damage.
