[5767525]
During annual preventive maintenance inspection on ms600 biomed techs found that the emergency stop failed to work. When the ms600 was lowering 591 lbs and the emergency pull cord was engaged (pulled) the lift would accelerate down and continue to pick up speed. When the cord was pulled again the lift would slow down but would continue to move towards the ground. The lift was then tested with 200 lbs and when the emergency cable was pulled the lift would shut down and come to a stop. The lift is rated for 600 lbs and should not change function for any weight user that amount. This was tested on other lifts at our facility. The new lifts which have the new style emergency stop functioned properly. The problem listed above was only found on the old style lifts with pull string that are similar to a ceiling fan pull string.
