A portable overhead lift provides you with
the ability to move a patient safely and easily.
The lift can be easily hung up and taken down,
which means the same lift can be used in
several different rooms or wards. The lift
is used for lifting and moving a patient, for
example to or from a bed, wheelchair or toilet
or from the floor. The apparatus can also be
used for walking training, and with the help
of some accessories, for balance training and
weighing.
o“WARNING!” This symbol is used
when particular attention is
required
Lifting and moving a person always entails
some risk. You should therefore read the user
manuals for the lift and the lifting accessories
carefully. Always make sure that the
accessories you are using are intended for use
with the lift. As a caregiver, you are responsible
for the patient’s safety and you must know
whether or not the patient will be able to cope
with the lifting process.
Human Care’s lifts are designed only to raise
and lower patients in a vertical direction, and
never diagonally or through angles. The lift
must always be positioned directly above the
patient when lifting. The patient must always
be positioned above the surface onto which
they are to be lowered.

Functions
Emergency stop
In an emergency, the emergency stop can be
activated by pressing the RED button. To reset
the emergency stop, turn the RED button
clockwise.
Emergency lowering
In event of an emergency the emergency low-
ering function can be used. Press emergency
lowering button and down button at least 3
seconds simultaneously to activate the emer-
gency lowering. Older lifters may not have
double key command and delay.
An audio signal indicates that the lift is lowering.
Always ensure that emergency lowering can be
performed as safely as possible for the patient.
The emergency lowering button only works
when the lift is switched on and emergency stop
has been deactivated. When the emergency
lowering is active, the end position switches are
inactive. If the button is pushed until the lift is
in its lowest position, the lift will start to go up
again. Always stop at the lowest position.
oThe emergency lowering button
must only be used in emergency
situations.
Safety catch
The lift is equipped with a safety catch. This
prevents involuntary falls. If the lift belt is
pulled out too quickly, the safety catch will
engage, thus preventing the fall. Slacken the lift
belt to unlock the catch. With the safety catch
engaged, the lever (10) can never be turned, as
this blocks the lowering function of the lift!
Mechanical emergency lowering
During power loss and the hoist is loaded, user in
the hoist, the mechanical emergency lowering is
activated and the hoist is lowering in a safe and
reliable manner.
Overheating
The lift has overheating protection which stops
the motor if it gets too hot. Overheating can
occur if the motor is overloaded or operated
continuously for quite a long time. The lift’s
work cycle (work:pause) is 15:85. Maximum
continuous operation is two minutes. If this
is exceeded, there is a risk of the motor
overheating.

Two Speeds
When the lift is loaded with less than approx.
40 kg it can be run at two speeds. If the Up
or Down button is pressed for longer than 3
seconds, the lift will run in the faster mode. If
the lift is loaded with more than approx. 40 kg
it will only run in the slower mode.
Belt tension guard
The lift is equipped with a belt tension guard
that prevents unintentional discharging of the
lift belt. The lift must be loaded in order to
be able to pull the belt out. This means that
when the lift is lowered to a surface, the lift
belt is only fed out if it is pulled upwards while
the DOWN button on the hand control or the
control panel is held pressed in. The purpose of
this is to pull out enough of the lift belt in order
to be able to hook the lift onto the suspension
hook, or to unhook it.

NOTE 1 At 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflected from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the Human Care lifts is are used exceeds the applicable RF compliance
level above, the Human Care lifts should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Human Care lifts.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Human Care
lifts.
The Human Care lifts are intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the Human Care lifts can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Human Care lifts as
recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
