READ BEFORE USE
Before using your TENOR, familiarize
yourself with the various parts and controls as
illustrated in this document. Read this whole
manual thoroughly before operating your
TENOR in order to prevent injury or damage to
the product.
Symbols and definitions used in this manual:
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions may
cause damage to the product.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in injury to yourself or to others.
INTENDED USE
TENOR is a mobile passive lift, intended to be
used on horizontal surfaces for lifting and
transfer in hospitals, nursing homes or other
health care facilities.
To describe which residents may be lifted
using an ArjoHuntleigh hoist, a resident gallery
has been created by ArjoHuntleigh. The resi-
dents that can be transferred with a TENOR
have been named Doris (D) and Emma (E).
TENOR has been designed to lift Doris, who:
• Sits in wheelchair
• Has no capacity to support herself at all
• Cannot stand unsupported and is not able
to bear weight, not even partially
• Is dependent on carer in most situations
TENOR has been designed to lift Emma, who:
• Is a passive resident
• Might be almost completely bed ridden
• Is often stiff and has contracted joints
• Is totally dependent
OPERATIONAL LIFE
The operational life of the TENOR depends on
the actual use conditions. Therefore, before
use, always make sure that the lift is safe to
use and has not been damaged (See the
Preventive Maintenance Schedule at the end
of this document for details). If any damage
should be observed, do not use the TENOR.
The operational life of the sling and of the con-
sumable parts e.g. batteries, depends on the
actual use conditions. Therefore, before use,
always make sure that the sling, loops, cords
and straps do not show any sign of fraying,
tearing or other damage and that there is no
damage (e.g. cracking, bending, breaking) to
the attachment clips. If any such damage is
observed, do no use the sling.
WARNING
When using the TENOR, only use the
slings as described in the list on page 5.
The scale (if fitted) has been designed to
weigh residents.
WARNING
Do not overload the TENOR beyond the
approved maximum lifting capacity
(Safe Working Load) of 320 kg (705 lbs).
CAUTION
Although manufactured to a high
standard, the TENOR and accessories
should not be left for extended periods in
humid or wet areas.
Do not, under any circumstances, spray
the TENOR or accessories (excluding
sling) with water e.g. under the shower.
Safety instructions

WARNING
Before attempting to raise a resident,
a full clinical assessment of the
resident’s condition & suitability must be
carried out by a qualified person on the
individual resident to determine if it is
advisable that he / she will be lifted and /
or transferred using a TENOR.
WARNING
If FLITES (disposable sling) are to be
used with the TENOR, then always refer
to the separate operating instructions
for FLITES as well as these instructions
before using.
BARIATRIC SLINGS GUIDANCE
If the resident’s weight falls into two sizes or if there is any doubt on choosing the right size
slings, always go for the smaller size sling first.
This resident sling guide is only an approximation, other factors which must be considered when
selecting the appropriate sling are: resident’s distribution of body weight (i.e. hips, thighs, upper
body); resident’s height, torso length; resident’s physical condition (i.e. amputee, contractions,
etc.).
WARNING
The TENOR resident must only be lifted using a bariatric sling

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
Control Handset: Press the appropriate
button on the control handset to raise / lower
the jib and to move the spreader bar. A small
direction arrow is printed next to each button
for function identification (See Fig. 2).
If pressure is released during any function,
powered motion will stop immediately. Do not
drop the handset into water, e.g. bath.
When not in use, the handset can be kept
ready for use by hooking it over the loop at the
rear of the mast.
Dual control switch: The raising / lowering of
the jib can also be controlled from this switch,
situated on the top of the electronics / battery
compartment on the mast. Arrows on the
switch are for function identification (See inset
to Fig. 1). This switch will function, even if the
handset cable has been unplugged.
Emergency Stop Button (red): If, in an
emergency, you have to immediately stop any
powered movement (other than by releasing
pressure on the button on the handset) press
the “emergency stop button” situated on top
of the electronics / battery compartment on
the mast, next to the dual control switch (See
item 18 on Fig. 1). This function can also be
used to ensure that no powered operation is
accidentally used when either transporting the
lifter or leaving the lifter in store or unattended.
Push the red button to stop any powered
movement. Restart the lift by pushing the
green button.
Automatic cut out: If the lift is accidentally
overloaded, trying to lift a resident heavier
than permitted, an automatic ‘cut out’
operates to prevent the lift lifting a load in
excess of one and a half a times the maximum
allowed load. The lift motion will stop auto-
matically.
System failure lower override: In case of
control handset / dual switch malfunctioning,
with a resident still supported by the sling, the
lowering process can be continued using the
system failure lower override, situated on the
lift actuator tube (See Figs. 1 & 3).
To use this function, turn the red ring on top of
the motor / actuator of the TENOR clockwise,
using the resident’s own weight to enable the
mast to slowly lower. To stop lowering, simply
stop turning the ring. Only use this function in
the event of normal control failure. Do not use
it for normal function lowering.
WARNING
Before operating the “System failure
lower override” to lower a resident,
always ensure that a chair or suitable
support is underneath ready to accept
the resident.

Automatic stop function: Great care should
be taken not to lower the jib and / or spreader
bar onto the resident or any obstruction, par-
ticularly when the resident is standing up and
weight bearing. If this should happen, the
motor will continue to run but downward
movement will be blocked by the obstruction.
If this occurs, release pressure from the
“lower” button until immediately and operate
the “raise” button until the equipment is clear.
Then remove the obstruction.
Battery discharge indicator: Is a small LED
display situated on the rear of the electronics /
battery compartment, which indicates when
the lifter battery requires recharging (See Fig.
1 and also the ‘Battery Charging’ section for
complete description).
Chassis castor brakes: The chassis rear cas-
tors have brakes which can be foot operated
(See Fig. 4).
Powered adjustable width chassis legs: The
mobile chassis legs can be opened to avoid
obstructions e.g. chair legs. This can be done
by operating the handcontrol, using only one
hand and having the other free to hold onto
the lift or care for the resident. Use the lower
button to close the chassis legs and the upper
one to open them (See Fig. 2).
Numerous positions can be obtained between
fully opened and fully closed.
Transportation should be done with the
chassis legs closed, it will be easier to push
the lifter through doorways, etc.
When opening the chassis legs, the rear
castors will close inwards.
WARNING
When opening or closing the legs on a
powered chassis, care must be taken
not to allow anyone to stand in the way
of the moving chassis legs.
Hour meter: This is a small LCD display which
shows the total duration of powered operation
(in hours - see item 20, Fig. 1). This is primarily
intended to help the caregiver calculate
maintenance intervals.

CHECKLIST BEFORE USE
For a list of what to check before use, please
read the “Preventive Maintenance Schedule”
section of this document.
PREPARATION
Unpack the battery supplied with the lift.
CAUTION
A battery that is charged for the first
time, or after a long storage period,
must be charged for 24 hours or until the
LED indicates the battery is charged
(See “Battery charging section” and also
ArjoHuntleigh “Battery Care” document.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
disconnect the mains power, then remove the
pack from the charger and insert if fully into
the TENOR battery position, located at the
rear of the mast (See Fig. 1). Electrical
connection is made automatically.
Before approaching the resident
WARNING
Never leave the resident unattended.
The caregiver should always tell the resident
what he / she is going to do and have the
correct sling size ready. Where possible,
always approach the resident from the front.
To ensure maximum resident comfort, do not
allow the resident to hold onto the spreader
bar.
If required, the chassis legs may be opened to
go around a chair, wheelchair or to avoid bed
legs or any other obstruction.
To lift a resident from a chair
Hold the sling up with the leg sections
pointing downwards (See Fig. 5), to identify
the orientation of the sling.
Before using a sling, first read the ‘Guidelines
on the use of your sling’ and the sling label,
which are delivered with the sling.
Place the sling around the resident so that the
bottom of the back support area reaches the
bottom of the resident’s spine (it is not
necessary to pull the sling under the resident).
Ensure the head support area is behind the
head (See Fig. 6).
Pull each leg section under each thigh so that
they appear on the inside of the thighs (See
Fig. 6).
Ensure the sling is not folded or twisted under
the resident (See Fig. 7).
Move the TENOR towards the resident, ensure
the widest side of the spreader bar is facing
towards the resident and is at, or just below,
shoulder level (See Fig. 7).
Fig. 5
Fig. 6
Using your TENOR

10
Ensure that the TENOR is close enough to be
able to attach the shoulder loops of the sling
to the spreader bar. To accomplish this, you
may have to put the resident’s feet on or over
the chassis.
If the slings supplied have more than one loop
attachment position, attach whichever loop
seems appropriate to the size of the resident.
Once the TENOR is in position, attach the
shoulder strap loops to the hooks on the
spreader bar nearest to the resident (See Figs.
8 & 9).
The wider hook up points are for the shoulder
sling loops and the narrower hook up points
are for the leg sling loops (See Fig. 9).
If necessary, carefully lower the spreader bar
a little bit using the control handset to enable
the connection of the sling leg section loops,
being careful not to lower it onto the resident.
The leg section loops should not be crossed
over or twisted. Instead, the left leg section
loop should be connected to the exact side
hook above the leg being lifted (See Figs. 6 &
8).
WARNING
When lifting or lowering the resident,
ensure that no part of the resident’s
body can be caught between the lift’s
moving parts.
WARNING
Always check that all sling attachment
loops are completely underneath and
away from the safety latch on the
hanger bar, before and during the
commencement of the lifting cycle, in
tension as the resident’s weight is
gradually taken up (See Figs. 8 & 9).
Raise the resident with the control handset,
just high enough to move the resident clear of
the seat, ensure their feet are clear of the floor.
Before transportation, turn the resident to face
the caregiver and lower the individual to
approximately normal chair height. This gives
confidence and dignity and also improves the
TENOR mobility.

WARNING
When lowering the resident back into a
chair or when transferring from bed to
chair, position the resident in such a
way that he / she is fully supported by
the chair when he / she is lowered.
To lift a resident from a bed
Before lifting a person from a bed, ensure
there is sufficient clearance underneath the
bed to accomodate the TENOR chassis legs.
Adjust width of chassis legs if necessary.
Position the resident onto the sling by rolling
the resident towards you, then folding the
sling in half and placing it behind the resi-
dent’s back, so that the bottom edge of sling
is aligned with bottom of the resident’s spine
(See Figs. 10, 11 & 12). Position the sling
carefully so that when rolled back, the resident
will lie centrally on the sling. Check that the
head support area of the sling is in position.
When rolling the resident back onto the sling,
roll them slightly in the opposite direction so
that the folded part of the sling can be brought
out.
Alternatively, the resident can be brought into
a sitting posture. Then position the sling as
detailed in the section “To lift a resident from a
chair”.
Using the adjustable width chassis, it is
possible to make adjustments to chassis leg
widths to assist manoeuvrability around
obstructions, for example, bed legs.
Approach the bed with the open side of the
TENOR spreader bar towards the resident’s
head.
Position the TENOR so that the spreader bar
is just above and centrally situated over the
resident.
Carefully lower the spreader bar until the
shoulder attachment loops can be connected
to the hooks nearest to the resident’s head.
Slide the leg sections of the sling under the
resident’s thighs and connect each loop on
the side hook above each leg.
To make the lift more comfortable for the
resident, it is recommended to lift the head
end of the bed to semi-reclined position
before commencing the lifting of the resident.
Fig. 10
Fig. 11
Fig. 12
Using your TENOR

12
When correctly connected, operate the
control handset to raise the resident from the
bed. At all times when lifting and lowering, it is
advisable to stay at the side of the resident to
ensure they are in a comfortable position. This
is also reassuring to the resident.
WARNING
Always check that the sling attachment
loops are fully in position before and
during the commencement of the lifting
cycle, and in tension as the resident’s
weight is gradually taken up.
After lifting the resident, adjust to a comforta-
ble height for transfer. The specially designed
sling, together with its integral head support,
enables one person to carry out a complete
lifting function without additional help.
If returning the resident to a bed, move into
the desired position above the bed and then
lower using the control handset.
Only when the resident’s body weight is fully
supported by the bed, may the sling connec-
tion loops be detached and while still in sitting
position, detach the sling from the hooks
before reclining the resident to the bed.
Move the TENOR away before removing the
sling from under the resident.
If transferring the resident to a chair, refer to
the section “To lift a resident from a chair”.
To lift a resident from the floor
Put the sling around the resident as before, by
using the rolling or seated position method.
Depending on circumstances, space and / or
position of the resident etc., open the chassis
legs if necessary and carefully approach the
resident with the front of the lift. Now lift the
resident’s legs over the chassis as shown in
figure 13, should the situation require it.
The resident’s head and shoulders should be
raised on pillows for comfort. This will also
make it easier to attach the shoulder position
attachment loops (See Fig. 13).
Attach the shoulder strap attachment loops. It
will probably be easier to attach the longest
loops.
Some caregivers prefer to use a larger sling
when lifting a resident from the floor.
Bring each leg section of the sling under the
resident’s thighs and attach each leg strap
loop to the side hook above each leg (See Fig.
14).
Once securely connected, raise the resident
carefully, staying in close proximity of the resi-
dent’s legss at this stage of the lift to guide his
/ her legs safely over the lift until clear. Once
raised from the floor, ensure the resident’s
legs are clear of the chassis before continuing
to lift.
Raise the resident to a suitable height for
transport in a semi-recumbent position.

WARNING
Before and during the commencement
of the lifting cycle, always check that all
the sling attachment loops are fully in
position and in tension as the resident’s
weight is gradually taken up and that
the sling loops are underneath and
away from the safety latch on the
hanger bar.
If the leg sections of the sling tend to be fairly
high in the crotch area, make adjustments for
added comfort. The resident should be
positioned in a chair or placed onto a bed in
order to do this.
If the resident is prone to extensor spasm, he /
she may be lifted with the TENOR, but special
attention should be paid to supporting the
legs during lifting.
Staff assessment should be made to
determine if a spastic or combative resident
requires an additional caregiver to assist.
Transportation of a resident is possible with
the chassis legs open or closed, but
manoeuvrability will be easier, especially
through doorways, with the chassis legs
closed. The resident should be positioned
facing the caregiver and at a dignified height.
Apply the brakes on an incline.
ArjoHuntleigh SCALE (if fitted)
If your TENOR has been supplied, fitted with
the ArjoHuntleigh Scale unit (See Fig. 15), it is
possible to weigh a resident during the lifting
procedure.
The scale can be used as follows:
1. Push the button marked with ‘Zero’, to
calculate the weight unit to zero;
2. Place the resident in the sling;
3. Lift the resident in sling with TENOR,
4. Stabilize the resident’s movements, push
the button marked ‘Operate’;
5. Read the resident’s weight from the display;
6. You can switch between pounds and kilo-
grams using the kg / lbs button, by keeping it
pressed in for 10 seconds.
Alternatively,
1. Weigh the sling by first connecting it to the
hanger bar;
2. Read the display;
3. Calibrate the scale to zero;
4. Lift the resident with the sling;
5. Read the display to know the weight;
6. Deduct the sling weight to learn the resi-
dent’s net weight.

Battery charging

15
The TENOR incorporates a battery discharge
indicator, situated on the rear of the battery /
electronics compartment (See inset to item 20
on Fig. 1).
It is recommended that the battery is removed
from the lifter and recharged when the battery
discharge indicator LED displays (also see
TENOR Battery instructions).
Best practice is to charge batteries at each
shift to maximize battery life. Avoid totally
discharging the battery, this will prolong
battery life.
To ensure the TENOR is always ready for use,
it is recommended that a freshly charged
battery pack is always available. This is
achieved by having additional battery packs
available and keeping one on charge while the
other is in use.
It may be considered good protocol to have a
freshly charged battery pack ready for the start
of every work shift.
Place the battery pack on charge as follows:
CAUTION
Ensure the mains power to the charger
unit is switched off before connecting
the battery.
WARNING
Always ensure the cable connection
plug that fits into the battery is fully
inserted before switching on mains
electricity.
When the battery discharge indicator LED
lights up, complete your lift cycle. Then take
the lifter to a convenient location and remove
the battery pack by holding the grip handle on
the top and lift clear (See Fig. 16). Take the bat-
tery to the battery charger unit, ensure the bat-
tery is positioned securely (See Fig. 17).
Insert the battery connector from the charger
into the corresponding connector socket in the
underside of the battery.
Switch on mains power, a light (LED) will be
displayed on the charger unit. This light will re-
main on until the power is switched off, al-
though once the battery has been charged, the
light will flash intermittently, indicating the unit
has automatically switched to “trickle charge”
(keeping the battery at a full level of charge).
WARNING
Hold the pack firmly to ensure it does
not drop and become damaged or
cause personal injury.
The battery pack may be left connected to the
charger unit when it is fully charged without
being damaged by overcharging. This will also
ensure the battery is kept fully charged.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the mains supply
before disconnecting the battery from
the charger unit.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
disconnect the mains power, remove the
battery pack from the charger and insert it
back into the TENOR battery compartment.
The TENOR is now ready for use.

How often the following actions are taken,
depends on how often the equipment is used.
Unless otherwise stated, before each and
every use follow the cleaning, care and
inspection procedures described in this
section.
WARNING
It is recommended that resident lifters,
equipment, accessories and slings
supplied by ArjoHuntleigh are regularly
cleaned and / or disinfected between
each resident use if necessary, or daily
as a minimum. If the slings, lifters and
equipment need cleaning or are sus-
pected of being contaminated, follow
the cleaning and / or disinfection
procedures below, before re-using the
equipment. This is especially important
when using the same equipment for
another resident to minimize the risk of
cross infection.
For cleaning your lifter, equipment and
accessories wipe down with a damp cloth
using warm water to which a mild detergent
has been added.
For disinfection of contaminated lifters,
equipment and accessories, use the preferred
method of wiping the product completely with
“hard surface disinfectant wipes” that are
supplied impregnated with a mild detergent.
A rubbing action will be necessary when using
the wipes to promote effective disinfection of
the surfaces.
CAUTION
Do not use the product in wet areas, as
this could cause problems with electrical
components or internal corrosion.
If a hot air dryer is used to dry the lifter,
the temperature must not exceed 90°C
(194°F)
Do not use petroleum based solvents or
similar. This may damage plastic parts.
WARNING
Cleaning and disinfection products
must be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and suit-
able eye, hand and clothing protection
must be worn at all times when handling
disinfectants.

Slings
CAUTION
The sling should be checked before and
after using with each resident and if
necessary, washed according to the
instructions on the sling. Also refer to the
sling instruction sheet.
With regard to laundering, sling should not be
classified as linen, but as an accessory to a
resident transfer lifter and therefore classified
as a medical device. Slings should be cleaned
and disinfected only in strict accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions
WARNING
Mechanical pressure should be
avoided during the washing and drying
procedure e.g. rolling and pressing, as
these can damage parts vital to the safe
and comfortable operation of the sling.
CAUTION
Washing and drying procedures must
not exceed 90°C (194°F). Wash using
normal detergents, do not iron. Also
refer to the sling instruction sheet.
It is essential that resident lifters, equipment,
accessories and slings supplied by ArjoHunt-
leigh are regularly cleaned and / or disinfected
between each resident use if necessary, or dai-
ly as a minimum. If the slings, lifters and equip-
ment need cleaning or are suspected of being
contaminated, follow the cleaning and / or
disinfection procedures below, before re-using
the equipment. This is especially important
when using the same equipment for another
resident to minimize the risk of cross infection.
WARNING
When using your sling, always read “the
Guidelines on the use of your sling” that
are delivered with the sling.
