Prior to use
The assistant is responsible for performing a visual check of
the lift prior to use. If any problems are discovered, the lift
must not be used until it has been repaired by a qualified
technician. Damaged lifting slings must never be used.
Before use, always check that:
– The lift has been assembled in accordance with the assem-
bly instructions and that all parts are in place.
– All couplings and connections to the electrical box, frame
and lifting arm are intact.
– The actuator and electrical box are not making any abnor-
mal noises.
– The lift shows no signs of damage.
– The slingbar is securely attached to the lift.
– The battery is fully charged.

Assembly/replacement of slingbar
Release the quick release pin on the slingbar attachment by
pressing the quick release button and pushing with one finger
on the other side. Fit the slingbar and push the quick release
pin to the bottom position by holding in the quick release
button. Then release the quick release button.

Lift
– Extend the width of the base prior to lifting using the but-
ton for base width adjustment on the hand control.
– Raise and lower the lift by pressing the buttons gently.
Never lift the user higher than is necessary.
NEVER USE THE BRAKES when the user is
being lowered.

Operating the mobile lift
– We recommend that the mobile lift be used only for short
transfers on level surfaces.
– The mobile lift should be pulled when moved. This makes
movement as smooth as possible for the user, while at the
same time, the assistant is subjected to the least possible
strain. Therefore only push the lift when it is to be posi-
tioned over the bed.
– When the lift is to be turned, the assistant stands along-
side the lift and allows it to turn "around its own axis".
The assistant holds onto one of the lift handles with one
hand and, with the other hand, gently pushes on the sling
(closest to the slingbar).
– When moving the lift, it is recommended that the assist-
ant uses his or her entire body rather than twisting the
upper body or shoulders. The assistant must always ensure
that lift movement is stable and that there is no risk of the
lift tipping over. Never use just the handles to force the lift
to turn. This can easily cause the user to sway.

Use/Safety/Operation

Before lifting, always check that:
– The lifting accessory is appropriate for the user's needs.
This applies to type, size, material and configuration.
– The lifting accessories are free from damage.
– The lifting accessories are correctly and securely attached
to the user so that no bodily harm can occur.
– The lifting accessory is correctly attached to the lifting
equipment.
– The sling loops are correctly fitted to the slingbar hooks
when they are extended. This should be checked before
the user is lifted.
– The catch which prevents accidental unhooking is still in
place and in working condition.

Ensure that the quick release pin is in the locked
position.

– The assistant holds the hand control and stands close to
the user. This creates a sense of security.
– Work efficiently! For example, move the wheelchair to
the mobile lift, not vice versa. Avoid long transfers during
which the user is suspended in the sling.
The mobile lift is not a means of transportation.
– Push or pull the lift smoothly and carefully. Rapid move-
ments are not only unpleasant for the user but in the event
of a sudden stop could also constitute a safety hazard.
– Never attempt to lift the mobile lift. This can result in a
risk of injury to both assistant and user.
– The brakes are primarily used for parking.
