1. INTRODUCTION
Your Air Lift Chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to
increase mobility and provide pressure relief. Please be aware that the final
selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of air lift chair to be used
is the responsibility of you, the air lift chair user, if capable of making such a
decision, and/or your healthcare professional (i.e. medical doctor, allied health
professional, therapist etc.).
MANDATORY! Read and follow the information provided in this
owner’s manual before attempting to operate your Air Lift Chair for
the first time.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you
will need to practise operating the Air Lift Chair in the presence of a trained
attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or healthcare
professional specially trained in assisting you with performing various daily
living activities while safely operating a lift chair.
Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help
you become accustomed to operating the Air Lift Chair in a safe manner.
MODIFICATIONS
Aspire chairs are designed and engineered to provide maximum comfort
and utility. However, to prevent personal injury and/or damage to your Air
Lift Chair, you should not modify, add, remove or disable any feature, part or
function of your Air Lift Chair. Unauthorised modifications may also void your
product’s warranty.
NOTE: Use Aspire approved parts only for all repairs and replacements.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Air Lift Chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. The Aspire Air Lift
Chair has a safe working load (SWL) of 140 kg.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of
your Air Lift Chair. Failure to do so may result in injuries and/or
product damage, Aidacare will not be held responsible for any
such issues/failures.
2. GENERAL GUIDELINES

8aspirecare.com.au
PINCH/CRUSH HAZARDS
The scissor and lift mechanisms are labeled as pinch/crush point hazards on
your Air Lift Chair. Keep clear of these areas and make sure the path of motion
is unobstructed. See figure 3.1 for pinch/crush point locations.
WARNING! Do not place objects or appendages in the path
of moving parts.
DEGREE OF PROTECTION/MODE OF OPERATION
• Class II equipment/Type B protection against electric shock
• Degree of protection against the ingress of solid/liquids—IPX0
• Mode of operation—Maximum Duty Cycle: 2 min. ON/18 min. OFF
STORAGE AND OPERATION TEMPERATURES
• Transportation or storage: – 75°C/-104°F to 70°C/158°F
• Operation: 10°C/50°F to 40°C/104°F
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic
and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the
performance of electrically-powered devices, such as lift chairs.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such
as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations,
TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, Wifi,
microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers
used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended
movement or damage to the control system of electrically-powered devices.
The lift chair user can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment. It is recommended that at least 3 metres (9 feet) of distance be
maintained between the lift chair and any handheld equipment emitting 10W
or more of output power. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the handheld
device to determine the maximum output power of that device.
Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The
higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC
standards, this product has passed immunity testing and is rated as a Group
1, Class B product, meaning the lift chair uses RF energy only for its internal
function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any
interference in nearby electronic equipment making the lift chair suitable for
use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and hospitals.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops and
other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement
of your electrically-powered device due to EMI. Exercise caution
when using any of these items while operating your lift chair.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift
chair can increase the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not
modify your lift chair in any way not authorised by Aidacare.
WARNING! Your lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other
electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the Air Lift Chair. Contact
Aidacare to report the incident.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Before using your Air Lift Chair, make sure your delivery is complete as some
components may be packaged individually. If you do not receive a complete
delivery, please contact your authorised Aspire Dealer immediately. Where
damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content,
please contact the delivery company responsible.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
If you will be transporting your Air Lift Chair in a motor vehicle, individual
components (external transformer, etc.) should be secured. The Air Lift Chair
itself must also be secured (a possible hazard during vehicle braking).

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Your Aspire Air Lift Chair is equipped with a low voltage DC motor system that
reduces the standard household alternating current of 90V AC – 264V AC to
direct current (24/39V DC). The electrical components include the external
transformer, batteries and hand control. Keep these a1reas free from moisture
at all times.
WARNING! Keep all electrical components free from moisture
at all times to prevent shock and/or electrical hazard.
External Transformer: Connects to a standard electrical outlet to provide power
to the air lift chair. The transformer may be equipped with an LED indicator,
which shows green when power to the transformer is on.
The external transformer may also come equipped with mounting brackets that
allow the transformer to be mounted to the wall directly under the standard
electrical outlet. The screws must be mounted to the wall stud for security.
Batteries: Provide the power needed to return the Air Lift Chair to an upright or
semi-upright position in the event of a power failure. Batteries are included with
the user manual and must be installed into the external transformer. See 4. Air
Lift Chair Set Up.
NOTE: The batteries will provide power for only a short period of time after
power is removed from the system, so it is important to act quickly in the event
of a power failure. Engage and hold the up/down switch in the UP position as
soon as possible. Maintain a steady pressure on the switch to avoid excessive
draw from the battery and achieve the most amount of lift. Keep in mind that
the amount of lift the batteries will be able to provide is affected by user weight
and battery condition.
Hand Control: Contains the controls needed to operate the various functions of
the lift chair. Refer to 5. “Operation” for more information. The hand control may
be equipped with a quick-release connector, which enables the user to detach
the hand control from the lift chair, disabling all functions of the hand control.
LIFT CHAIR PLACEMENT
Your Air Lift Chair should be placed near a standard electrical outlet on dry,
level ground where there is ample room to allow for proper operation. It is
recommended that you have the assistance of an attendant when positioning
the Air Lift Chair to avoid the possibility of injury when lifting.
Follow these steps to position the Air Lift Chair in a safe manner:
1. The back of the Air Lift Chair should be positioned with sufficient clearance
to avoid any obstructions, particularly behind the chair after reclining.
Suggested clearances by model are:
Space Saver (single motor) – 160mm | Dual Action (dual motor) – 350mm
2. Adjust the leg levelers to stabilise the Air Lift Chair (Fig. 3.2), or if desired
attach the 4 optional mobility castors.
3. Install the batteries into the external transformer. Refer to “Battery
Installation” for more information.
4. Position the external transformer on the floor in an open, well-ventilated area
where it will not be an obstruction.
5. Position the low voltage connection cable (cable from transformer to chair),
where it will not be pinched between the frame and the lift mechanism.
6. Connect the low voltage connection cable to the external transformer if it is
not already connected.
7. Plug the power lead directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an
extension lead!
NOTE: If you discover a problem at any point during the set-up and positioning
of your air lift chair, stop and contact your authorised Aspire Dealer immediately.
To avoid personal injury and/or product damage, DO NOT plug the unit into
the electrical outlet until the problem is corrected and do not attempt to fix
electrical problems by yourself.

are defined as 9V alkaline batteries that are replaced every time the battery
backup system is activated during a power failure, or once a year if the battery
backup system has not been activated.
NOTE: If you unplug your air lift chair for an extended period of time
(more than one hour), remove the batteries from the external transformer.
The air lift chair will draw power from the batteries even when it is not in use.
IDEA: Check 9V battery every year when you check your smoke alarm!
