1. Leg adjustment
The legs on the Oxford Ascend are electrically adjustable for width. The legs can be opened to
enable access around armchairs or wheelchairs. For transferring and negotiating narrow doorways
and passages the lift legs should be in the closed position.
Electric leg adjustment - is achieved by pressing the appropriate buttons on the handcontrol. The
legs will be locked whenever the handcontrol switch is released.
2. Castors and Braking
The lift has two braked castors which can be applied for parking. When lifting, the castors should
be left free and un-braked. The lift will then be able to move to the centre of gravity of the lift. If
the brakes are applied it is the patient that will swing to the centre of gravity and this may prove
disconcerting and uncomfortable.
3. Raising and lowering the boom
The movement of the boom is achieved by a powerful electric actuator, which is controlled by a
simple hand control unit. The handcontrol has two buttons with directional arrows UP and DOWN
. The actuator stops automatically at the limit of travel in both directions. The handcontrol
plugs into a socket at the base of the control box.
