Etac Molift Air 200 Manuel D'utilisation page 11

Transfer
Plan the lifting operation in advance to ensure that it is as safe
and smooth as possible. Remember to work ergonomically. Assess
the risks and take notes. The carer is responsible for the safety of
the user.
Molift Air can be used with both 2-point and 4-point sling bar for
different types of transfers; sitting, recumbent or ambulating.
Using slings
It is important that the sling has been tested with the individual
user and for the intended lifting situation.
Read User Manual for the sling prior to use.
Do not to use damaged or badly worn slings.
Slings made by other manufacturers
We recommend using Etac or Molift slings. The hoist can be
combined with slings from other manufacturers with similar sus-
pension loops. Visit www.etac.com for compatibility statements
between lifts and slings from other manufacturers. Please note
that the natural or legal person using CE-marked compatible
devices from different suppliers is responsible for the activity. Etac
cannot therefore be held responsible for any incident.
Lifting and lowering
When moving the user, stand to the side of the user you are lift-
ing. Make sure that arms and legs do not obstruct the seat, bed,
etc. Keep eye contact with the user to help them feel safe.
The 4-point sling bar must always be positioned across the user,
to prevent the user from unintentionally sliding out of the sling.
The sling bars hook design prevents sling to be inadvertently
detached when mounted correct.

1. Check that the sling is correctly fitted around the user and
that the strap loops are correctly fitted to the sling bar
hooks.
2. Stretch the sling straps without lifting the user. Ensure that
all four loops of the sling are securely fastened to avoid the
user slipping or falling.
3. Lift user, and perform transfer.
Do not use the emergency stop to turn OFF
the hoist, except in an emergency.
The hoist will switch OFF (stand by) automati-
cally after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Angle sensor
The hoist has a directional safety feature that prevents lifting if
angle on lifting strap is to steep.
>30˚
If the hoist doesn't respond to Hand control "up" button, it
might be because lifting strap angle is to steep, or lifting belt is
twisted and sensor is activated.
