Thank you for buying an ArjoHuntleigh
product.
Your MAXI MOVE is part of a series of quality
products designed especially for hospitals,
nursing homes and other health care uses.
We are dedicated to serving your needs and
providing the best products available along
with training that will bring your staff
maximum benefit from every ArjoHuntleigh
product.
Contact us if you need more information, want
to report an unexpected event or need any
help in setting up, using or maintaining your
your ArjoHuntleigh product.
All references to the patient in these instructions
refer to the person being lifted, and references to
the attendant refer to the person who operates
the MAXI MOVE.
Techniques described in these instructions for
fitting slings and lifting patients from a reclining
position can be used for patients regardless of
where they may be lying; on the bed or on the
floor.
Similarly, lifting a patient from a chair employs the
same techniques as when lifting a patient from a
wheelchair or from a sitting position on the edge
of a bed.
These instructions specifically show both the clip
attachment slings being used with the standard
Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) and the loop
attachment slings for loop spreader bars. The
same methods and techniques described for the
standard DPS can also be applied to the optional,
powered DPS.

Policy on Number of Staff Members
Required for Patient Transfer
ArjoHuntleigh’s passive and active series of lifts
are designed for safe usage with one caregiver.
There are circumstances, such as combativness,
obesity, contracture etc. of the individual that may
dictate the need for a two-person transfer. It is the
responsibility of each facility or medical
professional to determine if a one or two person
transfer is more appropriate, based on the task,
resident load, environment, capability, and skill
level of the staff members.

Safety Instructions

001.25060.EN rev. 11
Before using your MAXI MOVE, familiarize
yourself with the various parts and controls as
shown in Fig. 3, and other illustrations. Then,
read this manual thoroughly in its entirety before
using your MAXI MOVE. Information in the
manual is crucial to the proper operation and
maintenance of the equipment, and will help
protect your product and ensure that the
equipment performs to your satisfaction. Some of
the information in this booklet is important for your
safety and must be read and understood to help
prevent possible injury. If there is anything in the
manual that you find is confusing or difficult to
understand, please contact your local
ArjoHuntleigh agent (the telephone number
appears on the last page of this manual).
Fig. 2
This product has been designed and
manufactured to provide you with trouble-free
use. However, this product does contain
components that are subject to wear with regular
use.
See also “Care of your MAXI MOVE” section.
The MAXI MOVE can be supplied with a variety
of optional attachments, which are not all
described in these instructions. If your
MAXI MOVE has been equipped with an
alternative/optional sub-assembly such as
stretchers, etc., always refer to the separate,
relevant operating instructions supplement, as
well as these instructions, before you operate the
lift.
This product is intended to be operated entirely
by an attendant. The patient should not perform
any function relating to the control of this product.
A second attendant may be required with certain
patients.
Homecare Environment Considerations
CAUTION: Some of these parts are critical to
ensure the safe operation of the lift. They will
need examining and servicing on a regular basis
and must be replaced as needed.
CAUTION: Use only ArjoHuntleigh slings and
stretchers that have been specifically designed
for the MAXI MOVE.
WARNING: Before using the MAXI MOVE, a
clinical assessment of the patient’s suitability for
transfer must be carried out by a qualified health
professional considering that, among other
things, the transfer may induce substantial
pressure on the patient’s body. A transfer
conducted when it should not can degrade the
patient’s health condition.
WARNING: Patients with spasms can be lifted,
but great care should be taken to support the
patient’s legs to prevent fall risk and injuries.
References to “left” or
“right” in these
instructions are as
viewed from the
caregiver’s pushing
position, standing at
the rear of the
MAXI MOVE and
facing forward.
LEFT
RIGHT
WARNING: Do not overload the MAXI MOVE
beyond the approved lifting capacity of the
lowest rated attachment/accessory in order to
avoid patient injury. If the maximum load differs
between floor lift, spreader bar and body support
unit (i.e. sling), then the lowest maximum load
shall always be used.
Take care when manually lifting alternative/
optional components such as stretcher frames,
spreader bars etc., in order to avoid injury.
Do not attempt to manually lift the complete lift.
CAUTION: Although manufactured to a high
standard, the MAXI MOVE and accessories
should not be left in humid or wet areas.
Do not, under any circumstances, spray the
MAXI MOVE or accessories (excluding slings or
ArjoHuntleigh approved wet environment
equipment) with water suchas under the shower.
WARNING: Before lifting a patient it is advisable
to familiarize yourself with and understand the
operation of the various controls and features of
the MAXI MOVE, and to carry out any action
concerning inspection procedures.
WARNING: The MAXI MOVE is not intended to be
operated by children. Serious injuries could
occur.
NOTE: Rigorous cleaning action should be done
when the MAXI MOVE is exposed to an animal.
Pet hair trapped inside the device can reduce the
product performance.
WARNING: This product contains small parts
that might present a severe danger to children if
swallowed or inhaled.
