homes and other health care uses.
ARJO is dedicated to serving your needs and
providing the best products available, together with
training that will bring your staff the maximum
benefit from every ARJO product.
Please contact us if you have any questions about
the operation or maintenance of your ARJO
equipment.
The letter (i) shown on the open book icon indicates
“information”, and is an instruction to always read
the operating instructions before use (see Fig. 14).
The expected operational life of the ARJO lift is 10
(ten) years from the date of manufacture, providing
that the following conditions are adhered to:
Conditions
• The unit is regularly cared for and serviced in
accordance with recommended, published
“Operating and Product Care Instructions” and
the “Preventive Maintenance Schedule”.
• The unit is maintained to the minimum

• The servicing and product care, in accordance
with ARJO requirements, must begin with the
customer’s first use of the unit.
• The equipment is used for its intended purpose
only and is operated within the published
limitations.
• Only ARJO designated spare parts should be
used.
The date of manufacture can be found in the second
set of 4 digits of the serial number, for example
STLA 0309 A 1001. (STLA = manufacturers code,
03 = year 2003, 09 = month September, A = charger
country code). The remaining digits are the
machine identification number.
Consumables
The expected operational life for fabric slings is
approximately 2 years from the date of
manufacture. This life expectancy only applies if
the slings have been cleaned, maintained and
inspected in accordance with the “ARJO Sling
Information” documents, the “Operating and
Product Care Instructions” and the “Preventive
Maintenance Schedule”.
The expected life for other consumable products,
such as batteries, fuses, lamps, safety belts, padded
covers, and straps is dependent on the care and
usage of the equipment concerned. Consumables
must be maintained in accordance with the
published “Operating and Product Care
Instructions” and the “Preventive Maintenance
Schedule”.
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 lift.
References to left and right of the lift in these
instructions are as viewed when you are standing at
the rear of the Sara 3000, facing forward, as viewed
from the control panel (see Fig. 1).
Lifting operations in these instructions are
described as if lifting a patient from a chair. The
same operations can be performed effectively when
lifting a patient from a wheelchair or sitting
position on a bed, although a second attendant
should support the patient if the patient lacks sitting
balance.
All operations in these instructions are described as
if the attendant were using the control handset.

Unpack the battery pack supplied, and fully charge
it as described in the section titled “Battery
Charging”.
When the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect
the electric power, remove the pack from the
charger, and insert it fully back into the Sara 3000
battery compartment. An electrical connection is
made automatically.
Ensure that the green button (located on the control
panel above the battery) is pushed in.
Ensure that the sling is available.
Controls and Features
Control Handset: A semi-remote control unit
attached to the lift by an extending cable. The
handset controls are for the lift/lower and chassis
leg opening/closing functions. Direction arrows
adjacent to the buttons indicate each function (see
Fig. 2). If pressure is released from any button
during use, the powered movement will stop
immediately.
Stop Button (red) (see Fig. 1): If you have to
immediately stop any powered movement, (other
than by releasing pressure on the button on the
control handset), press the red “stop button” located
on the control panel above the battery. This
function can also be used to ensure that powered
operation cannot accidently start when either
transporting the lift, or leaving it in storage or
unattended.
Once the red Stop Button has been pushed, the
green reset button will have to be reset before the
Sara 3000 can be operated again.
Automatic Cutout: (not an operator control but a
function built into the lift electronics):
If the lift is inadvertently overloaded (by trying to
lift a patient that is too heavy), an automatic “cut-
out” function operates to prevent the lift from
raising a weight in excess of one and a half times
the maximum rated load. This will stop the lift
motion automatically.
If this occurs, release the pressure from the control
handset button or control panel switch immediately.
The electronics will reset so that the patient can
only be lowered when either of the “Lower”
buttons is pressed. Remove the patient from the lift.
Automatic Stop Function: Great care should be
taken not to lower the patient support arms onto the
patient or any other obstruction. 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 immediately and operate the “raise”
button until the lift is clear. Then remove the
obstruction.

System failure lower override: This can be used in
the event of main control failure. If the control
handset fails to operate the lift with a patient still
supported by the sling, a provision for lowering has
been made using the “lower override knob” located
on the right hand side of the motor/actuator (see
Fig. 3). To operate the lower override, pull the knob
upward. To halt lowering, release the knob. Only
use the knob if there is a normal control failure. Do
not use it for normal function lowering.
The lower override will operate whether or not the
emergency stop button has been pressed.
Battery Discharge Indicator: This is a small LED
display, located on the battery pack holder, which
shows the charge condition of the lift battery (see
Fig. 1).
Hour Meter: This is a small LCD display which
shows the total duration of powered operation (in
hours – see Fig. 1). This is primarily intended as an
aid to service engineers and to help the attendant
calculate maintenance intervals.
Chassis Castor Brakes: The chassis rear castors
have brakes which can be foot operated if required
(see Fig. 4), such as when leaving a patient
unattended, or to keep the Sara 3000 in position.
Foot Support: For positioning the patient’s feet
when lifting and transporting.
Lower Leg Straps: Accessory used to ensure that
the lower parts of the patient’s legs stay close to the
knee support. They pass around the knee supports,
then around the patient’s lower calves. To fasten,
overlap and press the ends together. Ensure that the
straps are firm but comfortable for the patient.
Adustable Width Chassis Legs: To open the
chassis legs to any variable width, press the
appropriate button on the control handset. When
pressure is released from the button, movement will
stop and the chassis legs will remain securely in
position.
Caution: Before operating the lower
override to lower a patient, always
ensure that a chair or suitable support is
underneath ready to accept the patient.
Fig. 3
P1341a, b
Fig. 4
•Note: The lift should be transported
with the chassis legs closed, as this will
be easier to maneuver through doorways,
etc.
Warning: The patient and/or operator
should never place their feet or any other
part of their body in the area between the
foot support and chassis legs when the
chassis legs are closing.

Using the Sara 3000 for Toileting and
Transporting
Before approaching the patient, the attendant
should always tell the patient what they are going to
do, and have the correct size sling ready.
Although a patient can be put into the sling with the
Sara 3000 close by, it may be easier to do so with
the Sara 3000 moved away.
Once the sling has been fitted (see the following
sections), the Sara 3000 may be brought close to
the patient as follows:
Adjust the height of the Patient Support arms to
avoid approaching the patient at eye level. Make
allowances for the patient’s arms and any
obstructions, such as chair arms, etc.
Approach the patient from the front with the lift.
Stop before the foot support and knee support come
in contact with the patient. (See Fig. 5).
When the patient is ready, help or allow the patient
to place his/her feet on the foot support. Push the
Sara 3000 toward the patient to easily assist with
this. (See Fig. 6).
Carefully push the lift in closer to make full lower
leg contact with the knee support.
Fig. 5
•Note: Press the appropriate button
on the control handset if the chassis legs
need to be opened to go around the chair.
Fig. 6

Standing Sling
Encourage the patient to lean forward slightly to
enable the sling to be placed around his/her lower
back (see Fig. 7). Position the sling around the
patient’s back so that the bottom of the sling lies
horizontally about two inches above the patient’s
waistline, with the patient’s arms outside the sling.
Ensure that the support strap is separated and
brought loosely around the body, and is not twisted
or trapped behind the patient’s back.
To fasten the support strap securely, press the
buckles together. The strap should be tight, but
comfortable for the patient.
If the Sara 3000 is not already close to the patient,
bring it to the patient as described previously.
Apply the clips to the attachment points, and secure
them for safety.
Caution: An assessment must be made
as to whether the patient requires the
lower leg straps. Apply these if
necessary. Use if necessary.
Fig. 7
•Note: As stated previously, the
comfort sling may be applied before the
Sara 3000 is brought into position, as
shown in Fig. 6.
Caution: The support strap must
always be applied when using the sling.
•Note: The support strap will help to
support the patient in the sling during the
lifting procedure. The strap also retains
the sling in the correct position around
the patient.
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
•Note: The patient should be
supported by the sling, but not pulled
forward too much.
Using Your Sara 3000

If possible, the patient should then hold on to the
Patient Support grips with one or both hands. The
patient is then ready to be lifted.
If the patient is able to offer some assistance to
stand, this may be beneficial for patient confidence
and muscular exercise. Encourage the patient to
give as much assistance as possible to raise from
the chair and/or steady themselves.
Use the lift button on the control handset to raise the
patient to a suitable and comfortable height for the
particular function. (See Fig. 11).
Fig. 10
•Note: If the control handset button
is released during the lifting or lowering
procedure, powered motion will stop
immediately.
Fig. 11
Caution: The patient’s feet should
always remain in full contact with the
foot support.
When lifting, check to ensure that the
patient’s feet do not lift from the the
support or floor. If this should happen,
lower the patient immediately until his/
her feet fully reach the support or floor.
Using Your Sara 3000

12
IMPORTANT: Always check that the sling
adjustment clips are locked into position before and
during the lifting cycle, and in tension as the
patient’s weight is gradually taken up.
Patients who can only hold on with one hand, such
as those who have suffered a stroke, may still be
lifted with the Sara 3000, but their disabled arm
should be held down in front of the body during the
lift by the attendant (or a second attendant), while
their functioning hand holds the patient support arm
in the normal way.
Transfer the patient to the required position, such as
the toilet, wheelchair, chair, bed, etc.
While the patient is raised, make any necessary
adjustments to clothing, incontinence pads, etc.,
before lowering again. Use the control handset to
carefully lower the patient.
To remove the sling when the patient is seated in the
new position.
Open the buckle to remove the support strap.
•Note: If patients can stand
sufficiently well and lock their knees in
the normal way when fully raised, their
knees will come away from the Proactive
Pad and they will be able to lean back
into the sling.
Caution: Only use this or other
methods after a satisfactory professional
assessment has been carried out on the
individual patient.
•Note: Transportation should be
performed with the chassis legs closed, as
this will be easier when maneuvering
through doorways, etc.
Caution: Apply the chassis brakes if
leaving the patient at the toilet, or if
leaving the patient unattended.
Warning: Do not attempt to release the
support strap while the patient is
supported by the sling.
Caution: If the patient lacks sitting
balance and has been returned to sit on
the side of the bed, a second attendant
may be needed to support the patient
while the sling is being removed.
Using Your Sara 3000

13
The Sara 3000 uses a battery discharge indicator,
located on the cover above the battery. (See Fig. 1).
It is recommended that the battery be removed from
the lift and recharged when the battery discharge
indicator displays amber.
To prolong the battery pack life, recharge it before
it reaches a low state of battery charge, and
certainly before it is totally discharged.
Your lift is equipped with an audible warning
device which will sound when the battery discharge
indicator reaches the red light range.
To ensure that the Sara 3000 is always ready for
use, it is recommended that a fully charged battery
pack always be available. Do this by having
additional battery packs available and keeping one
charging while the other is in use.
It may be considered good protocol to have a fully
charged battery ready for the start of every work
shift.
Place the battery pack on the charger as follows:
When the LEDs on the battery discharge indicator
display amber, complete the lift/lower cycle. Then
take the lift to a convenient location and remove the
battery pack by holding it securely, depressing the
button at the top of the battery pack then pulling it
out carefully.
Place the battery pack on the charger as follows:
Insert the battery pack into the charger unit in a
manner similar to installing it in the Sara 3000 and
push it firmly in. The charging connector will
automatically couple. Then switch on the power. A
green light and an orange light will then be
displayed. The green light indicates that the power
is connected, and will stay on until the main power
is disconnected. The orange light indicates the
battery condition and will go out when the battery
pack is fully charged (see Fig. 13).
A discharged battery should be left approximately
8 hours to totally recharge.
•Note: When a fully charged battery
is inserted into the lift the display will
return to the green fully charged position,
regardless of the level the indicator had
reached previously. However, if a
partially charged battery is inserted, the
previous indicator level will be
maintained, even though the recently
inserted battery may be in a better state
of charge than indicated. To achieve a
true indication of battery condition, a
fully charged battery must be inserted
into the lift. This will reset the indicator.
Warning: Ensure that the electric power
to the charger unit is switched off before
connecting the battery.
•Note: The cable that connects the
power supply to the charger is supplied
as a separate item. If using the battery
charger for the first time, or if the cable
has been unplugged from the charger,
connect the cable fully into the charger
before connecting to the main electrical
socket.

General Battery Safety Practices
Do NOT charge batteries in a sealed container.
Do NOT place batteries near or dispose of them in
a fire.
Do NOT short-circuit a battery.
Do NOT store batteries at temperatures in excess of
60°C (140°F).
Do NOT crush, puncture, open, dismantle or
otherwise mechanically interfere with batteries.
Warning: Always disconnect the main
supply before disconnecting the battery
from the charger unit.
Warning: Never charge the battery near
a patient environment.
The charger is for indoor use only.
Only use the charger unit in a dry
environment. Do not use it in a bathroom.
Do not expose the charger unit or battery
pack to rain or spray and do not soak it.
Do not expose the charger unit to dust.
Do not cover the charger while in use, as
it can overheat.
Do not smoke or allow open flames in the
vicinity of the battery.
The battery charger is for use only with
batteries that are supplied by ARJO for
use with the Sara 3000.
Use the battery chager for sealed lead
acid batteries only.
Under no circumstances should the
charger be used to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries.
Do not attempt to open or tamper with the
charger in any way. Send the charger to
the manufacturer for any repairs.
The power socket must be easily
accessible. If a fault condition occurs,
switch off the power and remove the
connection plug from the socket.
When charging batteries, only use ARJO
components that have been specifically
designed for this purpose.
Warning: Only use the ARJO battery
that is supplied for use with the Sara
3000.
Only use the ARJO charger unit supplied
with the Sara 3000.
Warning: If the battery casing becomes
cracked, and electrolyte comes into
contact with skin or clothing, wash
immediately with water.
If the electrolyte contacts the eyes, wash
them immediately with copious amounts
of water and seek medical attention.
When disposing of batteries, contact the
appropriate local authority for advice.
The abbreviation “Pb” shown adjacent to
the recycling and trash bin symbols on
the battery pack label is the element
symbol for lead. It indicates that the
battery contains lead and should
therefore not be disposed of in the normal
manner but must be recycled.
•Note: If the lift is not going to be
used for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries.
Battery Charging

15
General Lift Care
To clean the lift, wipe it down with a damp cloth
using warm water to which an appropriate ARJO
disinfectant cleaner has been added, such as ARJO
Clean.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning and disinfection products
must be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wear the appropriate eye, hand and
clothing protection at all times when handling
disinfectants.
Ensure that the battery pack is always fully
charged.
Environmental Advice
When disposing of any items associated with the
lift, contact the appropriate local authority for
advice.
Caution: All slings should be checked,
and, if necessary, washed according to
instructions on the sling.
Slings should not be classified as linen,
but as an accessory to a patient transfer
lift and, therefore, are classified as a
medical device. Slings should be cleaned
and disinfected only in strict accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Mechanical pressure, such as rolling or
pressing, should be avoided during the
washing and drying procedure as this can
damage parts that are vital to the safe and
comfortable operation of the sling.
Washing and drying temperatures must
not exceed 80°C (176°F). Wash using
normal detergents. Do not iron.
It is recommended that ARJO Patient
lifts, equipment, accessories and slings
are regularly cleaned. If the slings, lift
and equipment need cleaning, or you
suspect them of being contaminated,
follow the cleaning and/or disinfection
procedures recommended below before
re-using the equipment. This is
especially important when using the
same equipment for another patient, to
minimize the risk of cross-infection.
•Note: These products are available
from ARJO or its authorized distributors.
Caution: Do not soak the product as
this could damage electrical components
and cause internal corrosion.
If a hot air dryer is used to dry the lift, the
temperature should not exceed 80ºC
(176ºF).
Do not use petroleum-based solvents, as
these may damage plastic parts.
To disinfect contaminated lifts and
accessories, use the preferred method of
wiping the product completely with
“hard surface disinfectant wipes” which
are supplied impregnated with a 70% v/v
solution of Isopropyl Alcohol.
•Note: A rubbing action will be
necessary when using the wipes, to
effectively disinfect the surfaces.
•Note: 70% v/v Isopropyl Alcohol
wipes have been proved to be effective
against MRSA and several other micro-
organisms under light soiling conditions.

Check that the lift can be moved normally, and
ensure that the castors move freely, as they can be
clogged by hair and fluff. Also make sure that the
tread of the castor is not damaged.
Periodic Testing
For normal operation - use the control handset to
raise and lower the Patient Support. This is to test
for full and efficient movement.
Automatic Stop Function: With the Patient
Support arms raised well above their lowest
position, use the control handset to lower them and,
at the same time, with your other hand, hold the
Patient Support arms up briefly. The motor will
continue to run while the Patient Support arms
weight is held. This is quite normal. Release the
button and carefully lower the Patient Support
Arms. Use the Lower button on the control panel to
repeat this check. This is to accurately check that
the automatic stop functions.
Stop Button (red): To test the Emergency Stop
function, use the control handset to lift or lower the
Patient Support arms. While using the handset,
press the red Stop button. Powered movement
should stop immediately.
Repeat this check for the chassis leg opening/
closing function, and reset the button.
Adjustable Width Chassis Function: Use the
control handset to open and close the chassis legs to
check for full and efficient movement.
General Lift Condition: Carry out a general visual
inspection of all external parts, and test all
functions for correct operation, to ensure that no
damage has occurred during use.
Servicing Advice
Parts lists and circuit diagrams are available on
request from ARJO or its approved distributors.
Special tools are required for certain component
replacement.
Caution: Ensure that the castors are
firmly secured to the chassis.
Carefully inspect all parts, in particular
where there is personal contact with the
patient’s body. Ensure that no cracks or
sharp edges have developed which could
injure the patient’s skin or become
unhygienic.
It is essential that the clips and slings are
carefully inspected before each and
every use. If the slings are frayed, or the
clips are damaged, do not use the sling
and replace it immediately.
Check that all external fittings are secure
and that all screws and nuts are tight.
Ensure that all the instruction labels are
firmly attached and in a readable
condition.
Caution: If in doubt about the correct
operation of the Sara 3000, do not use it
and contact the ARJO Service
Department.
Warning: ARJO recommends that the
Sara 3000 be maintained at regular
intervals. See Sara 3000 Preventive
Maintenance Schedule (ARJO Literature
Part No. KKX81011.US/Sara 3000).
With regular use, the following items are
subject to wear: slings, batteries, straps,
castors. These items must be regularly
checked as described previously, and
replaced as needed.
Warning: UK LIFTS ONLY: Important
legislation came into force on 5th
December 1998, which has an impact on
the schedule of service for your patient
