1. Intended Use
The Tx 150 is a mobile hoist designed as an aid to assist carers in moving
and handling clients safely and efficiently. It is primarily intended to be
used for transfers and is not recommended as a transport device.
2. Applications
The Tx 150 can be used in most applications, including lifting and
transferring from a wheelchair, armchair, bed, bath, shower seat and
toilet. The Tx 150 can also be used for lifting from the floor and for 90º
rotation. It is suitable for clients in the Sitting, Sitting/Recumbent and
Recumbent positions.
Huntleigh Healthcare promotes safe Moving and Handling
practices and recommends the Tx 150 is used only by a
competent person who has read and fully understands the
User Guide. The User Guide is an important document and
forms part of the LOLER Thorough Examination. It should be
readily available for reference at all times
3. Unpacking
Remove the Tx 150 from the packing box.

may require some assistance in lifting them from the box.
The packing box should contain the following parts:
Wheeled base assembly.
Spreader bar assembly
Jib
Mast and controller assembly

4. Assembly Instructions
WARNING: The Tx 150 is designed to be easily assembled,
but before doing so please check that it complies with your
local Moving and Handling guidelines
Assembly instructions
1. Place the base on the floor and apply the brakes on the rear castors.
2. Fit the mast over the spigot in the centre of the base. Make sure the
mast is fully engaged with the spigot by checking the engagement
label on the face of the mast. Fully tighten the mast retaining knob.
WARNING: Avoid trapped fingers – Keep fingers away from
the end of the mast when fitting to the spigot.
3. Fit the electric actuator to the mast. The lower mounting point on the
actuator is slotted. Align the actuator slot with the pivot pin on the
mast (see illustration page 6) and fully engage. The actuator can now
be swung into the upright position and leant against the mast.
WARNING: Avoid trapped fingers – Keep fingers away from
the open end of the actuator pivot when fitting to the mast
pivot.
4. Fit the jib to the mast. One end of the jib is slotted and this engages
with the pivot pin at the top of the mast. Align the slot in the jib with
the flat parts of the pivot pin (see illustration page 6) and fully engage.
The jib can now be rotated into the normal working position. Snap jib
cover moulding into place.
WARNING: Avoid trapped fingers – Keep fingers away from
the end of the jib when fitting to the pivot pin.
5Fit the actuator top mounting to the jib. Remove one keyring from the
pin in the actuator mounting plate on the jib. Remove the pin. The
actuator mounting plate on the jib now fits into the slotted end of the
actuator. Align the pin holes. Re-fit the pin and replace the keyring.
6Attach spreader bar to jib. Push down the safety latch on the spreader
bar mounting point and slide the slotted sides over the mounting pin at
the end of the jib (see illustration page 6). Release the safety latch and
check the spreader bar is fully engaged with the jib pin and free to
swing and rotate.
7Electrical connections.
Leg actuator lead (Black) from crossmember cover – plug into socket
2 on the underside of the control box.
8
Handset – plug into indexed socket on the underside of control box.
Jib actuator – plug lead (White) into socket 1 on the underside of the
control box. Check function of handset controls.
WARNING: Make sure both keyrings on the actuator mounting
pin are present and are correctly fitted.
8Release the brakes on the castors. The hoist is now ready to use
Disassembly of Hoist.
1. Operate the spreader bar safety latch and remove the spreader bar
assembly from the mounting point on the jib.
2. Lower the jib to the lowest working position.
3. Remove one keyring from the pin holding the actuator to the jib.
Remove the pin.
4. Disengage the jib from the actuator and lean the actuator back against
the mast. Lower the jib fully.
5. For safekeeping, fit the actuator pin through the actuator mounting
plate on the jib and secure with the keyring.
6. Pull back the moulding covering the jib/mast pivot.
7. Swing the jib over on the pivot until the alignment mark on the jib
label lines up with the pin holes in the handle (see page 6). Remove
the jib from the pivot.
8. Unplug all leads from the control box.
Caution: The actuator is not retained in any way at this point –
only leant against the mast. Hold the actuator to prevent it
from falling forward while unplugging.
9. Swing the actuator forward, parallel to the floor, and disengage from
the mounting point.
10.Remove the battery pack from the control box – pull up on the latch at
the top of the battery pack and pull the pack away from the mast.
Caution: The battery pack is heavy – make sure you have a
firm hold of the battery pack before lifting it from the control
box.
11.Slacken the mast-locking knob and lift the mast from the base.
12.This is as far as the hoist can be disassembled without the use of tools.

5. Operating Procedures
Safety Precautions
The operation and use of the Huntleigh range of client lifting hoists is
simple and straightforward. However, in such a critical area of care a few
safety precautions should be observed to ensure problem free lifting.
•It is important the carer is familiar with the controls and safety
features of the hoist and sling before starting any lifting operations.
•Do not overload the hoist. The safe working load is clearly marked on
the hoist and is stated in the User Guide.
•The hoist is for lifting persons, it should not be used for any other
purposes.
•Do not push a loaded hoist over rough or uneven ground.
•Do not attempt to negotiate a slope exceeding 5°.
•Do not push a loaded hoist over an obstruction that the castors cannot
easily ride over
•Do not bump a hoist down steps, loaded or unloaded.
•Use the handles to manoeuvre the hoist.
•If the hoist is difficult to manoeuvre because of the floor covering
seek additional help.
•Do complete the Daily Check (see Section 6) before using the hoist.
•Do follow a regular routine for charging the hoist.
•Do not continue with a lift if the battery alarm is sounding. Lower the
client and place the hoist on charge.
•Do not use a sling unless it is approved by the manufacturer for use on
the hoist or an unapproved combination has been assessed by a
competent prescriber.
•Do not attempt to lift a client positioned outside the wheelbase of the
hoist.
•Always release the castor brakes before starting a lift.
•Regularly have the hoist thoroughly examined and serviced.
Leg adjustment: The leg adjustment is controlled from the handset.
There are four push buttons, the lower pair are for leg adjustment. The
left button opens the legs and the right button closes them. The amount of
10
opening or closing depends on how long the buttons are depressed. The
actuator will cut out when the extremes of travel are reached.
Note: The leg opening feature is for access around
wheelchairs, armchairs, toilets etc. When moving a client the
legs should be returned to the closed position as soon as
practical. This will greatly assist in manoeuvring the hoist.
Braking
The rear castors are fitted with foot operated brakes. The brakes are
provided for parking only and should never be used during lifting
operations. Push down (see A) to lock, strike (see B) to release.
WARNING: The brakes should always be set when the hoist is
left unattended. This will prevent the hoist from moving if
clients, who may be unsteady on their feet, use it as a
support.
Raising and lowering.
Raising and lowering is controlled from the handset. The handset has four
push buttons, the upper pair are for raising and lowering the jib. The
buttons are marked with directional arrows. In either direction the hoist
will stop the moment the button is released.
Note: Avoid unnecessary raising and lowering, this will help
to prolong battery life.
Emergency lowering
The Tx 150 is provided with both an electrical and a mechanical
emergency lowering. Electrical emergency lowering is achieved by
pushing a pointed probe, such as a pen tip, into the small aperture marked
“EMERGENCY” on the front of the control box.
If this fails to operate then the jib can be lowered by pulling up the red
moulding on the actuator itself.
