Frequently asked questions about the ELK emergency lifting cushion
Q. How can I be sure that the compressor will always have enough charge to enable me to use my Emergency Lifting Cushion?
A. We recommend that the Airflo Battery compressor should be left on continual charge when not in use. This will ensure that the compressor is fully charged when required.
Q. Is there a correct way of connecting the hand control to the Elk?
A. When connecting the 4-way hand control to the Emergency Lifting Cushion please check that the correctly numbered/coloured hand control hose is attached to the corresponding numbered/coloured connector on the ELK before trying to inflate.
Ensure that the hoses are free and not restricted in any way.
When using the ELK with the Airflo, ensure that the "auto" button is engaged.

A.There are a number of outlets around the UK that stock Mangar International’s products. Not every outlet carries every one of our products and prices may vary. For your local dealers please call Head Office on 01544 67674.
Q. Can I use my battery Airflo plugged into the mains power supply?
A.The battery Airflo will work while plugged into the mains, but it will still be running off the battery power. The batteries will charge when the Airflo is not in use but any operation will halt the charging and power will be drained from the batteries. For heavy use we would recommend that you use an Airflo Mains compressor.
