How to use the Voyager
Portable
READ "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS" BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THE
VOYAGER LIFT.
Always carry out the daily checklist before
each lift use.
Damage to the lift may occur if
not properly handled. Carry the
VOYAGER PORTABLE by its
handle only. Do not carry the lift
with the arm extension
accessory or other accessory
not intended to be used to carry
the lift.
1. Install the patient sling.
2. Take the battery out of the charger and
insert it into the lift. Make sure the silver
contact points go inside the lift.
3. Once the patient sling is installed, unwind
the strap.
There are two ways to unwind the strap:
First, you can press the button while
holding tension on the strap with the other
hand (there must be tension on the strap for
the lift to function).
The other way to do this is
to use the "QUICK-
RELEASE"; Push the knob
(1) and pull the strap out of
the lift (2).
Push knob completely over to
ensure the QUICK-RELEASE will
work properly.
QUICK-RELEASE will not work if
there is tension on the strap.
Make sure the strap has some
slack in it before attempting to
slide the knob over.
DO NOT force the knob. It should slide
easily.
4. Attach the round hook to
the trolley in the track.
To help you reach the trolley, use
the arm extension as follows:
Insert the round hook into the loop of the arm
extension #700.08310 (1), then hook it to the
trolley in the track (2).
(1) (2)
5. Move the lift over to the patient.
Hold the lift with one hand at all
times when near a patient.
6. Lower the lift below the chin before
beginning to attach the sling straps (this is
to avoid the risk of facial contact caused by
movement of the lift).
For a patient in a lying position, lower the lift
near the thorax, and then install the straps.
7. Attach the straps of the sling for the sling to
be used.
8. Lift the patient slightly by pressing the
button.
BEFORE LIFTING THE PATIENT:
1. Make sure that all straps are
attached to the carry bar.
2. Make sure the patient's arms
are safely out of the way.
3. Make sure the sling is not
caught on an obstruction
(wheelchair brake or arm of
chair).
If any of the above occurs – lower the
patient immediately and correct the
problem.

OPERATION
9
001.08875 rev. 10
9. Lift until the patient's buttock
clears the arm supports or the
top of the bath or bed before
moving the patient. Guide the
legs past any obstacle.
10. When the patient is located
above the desired point of
transfer and ready to be
lowered, press the button.
11. Use the handles on the back of the
sling to position the patient when transferring
into a chair. Hold the handles firmly as the
sling lowers and the sling will tilt back to
position the patient.
12. Once the patient is properly seated and the
straps are loose, remove the sling from the
lift.
Hold the lift with one hand at all
times when near a patient.
13. Slide the lift away from the patient.
14. Unhook the lift from the
trolley in the track and use
the "QUICK RELEASE" to
shorten the strap. To do
so, push the knob (1) and
hold the strap while it
winds itself into the lift.
Push the knob completely over
to ensure the "QUICK-
RELEASE" will work properly.
"QUICK-RELEASE" will not work
if there is tension on the strap.
Make sure the strap has some
slack in it before attempting to
slide the knob over.
DO NOT force the knob. It should slide
easily.
When using the "QUICK-
RELEASE" hold the strap in your
hand and release the knob (1)
only when the strap is not going
in motion. This will prevent wear
of the internal components.
15. The sling may be removed from around the
patient.
Emergency Lowering Feature
In the event of an electrical or functional failure,
the Voyager Portable has an emergency
manual-lowering feature.
If the lift malfunctions when a patient is being
transferred, the emergency manual lowering
device provides a safe way of lowering the
patient onto a chair or bed.
To operate the emergency lowering feature:
1. Find the rubber stopper and label on the side
of the lift.
2. Pull the rubber stopper out of the Voyager
Portable casing – DO NOT DISCARD.
3. Move the patient over a bed or chair.
4. Using the Allen key provided with this
manual, turn the key clockwise to lower the
patient into the chair. As the key turns the
motor directly, each key turn will move the
patient slightly.
5. Once the patient is lowered safely into a
chair or bed, take the lift to a certified
technician to be serviced.

Battery Information
DO NOT DROP BATTERY. A
DROPPED BATTERY MAY HAVE
INTERNAL DAMAGE THAT IS
NOT VISIBLE. IT MAY LOSE ITS
ABILITY TO RECHARGE.
Due to internal damage caused when the
battery is dropped, the battery may
indicate that it is fully charged, when in
fact the battery cannot hold a full charge.
A green light indicated on the charger
may not accurately reflect a full charge on
a damaged battery.
NEVER attempt to use a battery that
appears to be damaged or dented.
DO NOT store battery near a heat source.
Heat will damage the battery.
Always keep metal battery contacts clean.
•24 Vdc, 2.0 Ah interchangeable and
rechargeable battery.
•Provides 10 to 30 transfers per battery
charge (may vary depending on patient
weight and battery condition. See graph
below).
Life cycle (number of charging cycles) of the
battery is largely dependent on the depth of
discharge in each cycle. The more the battery is
drained, the shorter its life’s span. The life of the
battery is also related to such factors as varying
temperatures and rest periods between charge
and discharge.

GRAPH #1 illustrates the relationship between
discharging depth and expected battery life.
If you use only 30% of the battery power
between each charge, you can expect the
battery to fully charge 1050 times.
If you drain the battery until it beeps every time,
you can expect the battery to fully charge only
300 times.
To prolong battery life - Put the
battery into the charger
WHENEVER THE LIFT IS NOT IN
USE.
The battery will not overcharge.
ARJOHUNTLEIGH uses sealed lead-acid
batteries. Contrary to nickel-cadmium,
ARJOHUNTLEIGH batteries do not have any
memory effect. Therefore, batteries should
not be completely drained before recharge.
Graph 2: Number of lifts vs. Lift load
The graph above (GRAPH #2) illustrates the
relationship between the load lifted and the
number of lifts that can be done with one
recharged battery.
Do not drain the battery
excessively. This will
dramatically reduce the battery
life’s span.
If the low battery buzzer sounds, be sure
to recharge the battery as soon as
possible.

Charging the Battery
Check to make sure the green light on the
charger is illuminated. This indicates that the
charger is on.
•Insert the battery into the charger with the
silver contact points of the battery going into
the charger.
•The charging indicator light will flash yellow
while the battery is charging. If the battery is
fully charged, the charging indicator light will
illuminate solid yellow.
•If the battery is completely depleted, it will
take up to 6 hours to recharge.
•If the battery is low, it will take approximately
2 hours for a full charge.
Whenever possible, leave the
battery in the charger when the
lift is not in use.
At minimum, charge the battery until the
light is solid yellow (not flashing) before
using again. This will extend the life of the
battery.
•When the lift is needed again, pull the
battery out of the charger and, gently slide it
back into the Voyager Portable lift. The silver
contacts should be inside the lift.
•The charger can remain plugged into the
wall indefinitely, convenient for overnight
recharging.
•The battery can be left in the charger for an
extended period of time without damaging
either the charger or battery.
•If the green light does not go on when the
charger is plugged into an electrical outlet,
see “Troubleshooting” section.
MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS CARRY OUT THE DAILY
CHECKLIST BEFORE EACH LIFT
USE.
DO NOT attempt to open the VOYAGER
PORTABLE. Only a certified technician is
authorized to open the VOYAGER PORTABLE.
Alterations made to the VOYAGER PORTABLE
by someone other than a certified technician
may cause serious injury.
VOYAGER PORTABLE and accessories must
be inspected ANNUALLY by a certified
technician in addition to the daily and other
periodic visual checks done by the user specified
in this section.
Preventive maintenance specified in this manual
can prevent accidents and reduce repair costs.
Daily Check List
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MUST BE
FOLLOWED BEFORE EACH USE.
•Has the battery been charged? Charge the
battery whenever the lift is not in use.
•Inspect the battery before placing it in the
Voyager portable. If the battery appears to
have any damage – DO NOT USE IT. Replace
the battery immediately.
•Inspect the lift for any damage. If the lift casing
does not look properly aligned, or there are any
cracks or other damage on the lift, or any parts
are missing - DO NOT USE IT. Contact your
local representative to have the lift serviced.
•Attach the lift to the trolley in the track. Inspect
the visible strap for any signs of wear, frays,
loose threads or other damage. If there is any
evidence of damage- DO NOT USE IT.
Contact your local representative to have the
lift serviced.
•Inspect the sling for tear, frayed straps or loose
stitching. If the sling has any of the above
damage –DO NOT USE IT. Contact your local
representative to have the sling replaced or
repaired.
•Inspect the arm extension and the adjustable
extension strap (if you have these options) for
wear. Check the adjustable extension strap for
frays or loose stitching. Check the arm
extension for damage in the metal hook or

Inspection and Cleaning
Clean the VOYAGER body with a dry soft cloth,
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
solvent that may damage the finish.
DO NOT immerse lift in water.
To ensure a better rolling surface for the trolley
wheels, clean the inside of the track every
4 months. To do so, insert a damp cloth in the
opening and slide it from one end of the track to
the other.
Always reinstall the track end
stopper (if they have been
removed) after servicing.
Strap Inspection
This equipment is built with a strap that can
withstand a load of 907 kg (2000 lb)
Nonetheless, if this strap is damaged or shows
signs of wear the acceptable load on the strap
before rupture can drop rapidly and present a
danger for the patient or caregiver.
ArjoHuntleigh recommends thoroughly
inspecting the strap every 2 months as follows:
1. Completely unwind the strap.
2. Look for any signs of wear.
Loose threads in stitched area.
Noticeable discoloration by having
a lighter color strap than the double
Side wear.
Middle wear.
thickness stitched area.
If there are any signs of wear as
indicated here or other visual
defects, strap should be
changed immediately. By
continuing to use the lift without
changing the strap, caregiver
and patient safety is greatly
compromised.
In any case, the manufacturer
recommends changing the strap at least
every two years. By continuing to use the
lift without changing the strap, caregiver
and patient safety is greatly
compromised.
Handling and Storage
Avoid violent shock during transportation.
The lift should not remain stored for long periods
of time without recharging the batteries.
ArjoHuntleigh
recommends
charging of bat
teries at least
every two weeks
even if the lift is
not used. This will prevent
premature aging of batteries.
Battery Replacement
ARJOHUNTLEIGH uses sealed lead-acid
batteries. Contrary to nickel-cadmium,
ARJOHUNTLEIGH batteries do not have any
memory effect. Therefore, batteries should not
be completely drained before recharge.
Replace the battery when it has been dropped or
if there is a noticeable reduction in the number of
transfers that can be performed between
charges. If you notice the Voyager Portable is
“beeping’, see the instructions in
“Troubleshooting” section to ensure it is a
problem with the battery.
To replace a battery, contact your local dealer or
representative.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A
BATTERY NOT AUTHORIZED BY
ARJOHUNTLEIGH.
ARJOHUNTLEIGH batteries are specially
designed for ARJOHUNTLEIGH charging
systems. Attempting to use an
unauthorized battery may seriously
damage the lift and/or the charger.

MAINTENANCE
