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 battery is fully charged.

Lift
– Extend the width of the wheel base prior to lifting using
the button for base width adjustment on the Hand con-
trol.
– Raise and lower the lift by pressing the buttons gently.
NEVER USE THE BRAKES when the user is
being lifted or lowered.
NB! The wheels of the object the user is being
lifted from or into must be in the locked position.

Operation of the sit-to-stand lift
– We recommend that the sit-to-stand lift be used only for
short transfers on level surfaces.
– The sit-to-stand lift should be pulled when moving. This
makes movement as smooth as possible for the user, while
at the same time, the assistant is subjected to the least pos-
sible strain.
– 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 or pulls the
lifting arm (closest to the unhooking guard).
– 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.

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 sling bar hooks
when they are extended. This should be checked before
the user is lifted.

– 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
sit-to-stand lift, not vice versa. Avoid long transfers during
which the user is suspended in the sling.
The sit-to-stand 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 sit-to-stand lift. This can result
in a risk of injury to both assistant and user.
– The brakes are primarily used for parking.
– The sit-to-stand lift can also be used for lifting from a sit-
ting or a lying position. For these lifting situations, a sling
that is normally used with patient lifts can be used. Please
note that in such cases, the footrest and lower leg support
must be removed and the lift must not have its brakes on.
