Two Control Options This unit offers both a hand control or control panel for operating the lift providing added flexibility when mobilizing your patients. Arm Rests Optional armrests help support the patient during ambulation and make it easier for staff to maneuver the lift when transferring a heavy patient. Material Like many of our products, Viking XL is made of aluminum - a light, strong, environmentally-friendly material.
Key tips
- ·Mounting and securement hardware takes real fatigue from vibration and road shock - inspect it as carefully as the device itself.
- ·Post-call battery and function checks catch transport-induced faults that a scheduled PM would miss for months.

Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Battery / runtime fault
- Confirm the presentation - typically short runtime, low-battery alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: aged battery.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the rechargeable battery pack per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Transport mount / cradle wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically loose device, vibration damage - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: docking latch wear.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the docking cradle / latch per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
