| Reason/Issue |
Hill-Rom has received 9 complaints where it has been described that the lift arm drifted down suddenly on certain Viking mobile lifts. These reports have been connected to users who raise the lift arm assembly manually.
The lift arm assembly is intended to only be raised by the actuator (lift motor). If the lift arm assembly is manually raised, the actuator can become damaged and get stuck in the highest position. When the actuator is stuck, the lift cannot be raised or lowered by the lift motor.
Hill-Rom requests customers do not raise the lift arm manually since the lifting actuator can become stuck and/or become damaged. |
