T-SB is a versatile mobile lift that is
designed so that it can be quickly and easily
folded up and stored when not in use and for
ease of transport.
T-SB is only intended for use in conjunction
with the T-MPL.
T-SB is intended for use in the most common
lifting situations, e.g., for transfers from one
seated position to another.
To facilitate this, T-SB features include
electric raising and lowering as well as
mechanical hand-operated- base-width
adjustment.
T-SB is a mobile lift that is light, foldable and
portable. It is intended for use with the T-
MPL only.
An individually tested and correctly adjusted
sling and other accessories are essential for
proper function and safety in connection with
use of the lift.
T-SB is made of shaped steel sections and great care
has been taken to eliminate excess weight. Total
weight with battery is 28 kg (62lbs.).
T-SB can be disassembled in four pieces; handle,
operating handle, base unit and electrical unit. No
part weighs more than 18 kg (40lbs.).
This unit can be disassembled further only by an
appropriately qualified and competent person,
removing the legs from the leg pivot assembly.
T-SB is CE-certified and approved for a maximum
load of 150 kg (330 Ibs.).
The maximum load will vary depending on the T-MPL
set up. Please refer to the T-MPL instructions for
specific load limits for your set up.
“Caution!” triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention.
IMPORTANT!
Carefully read instructions for the T-SB and T-MPL before use. Lifting and transferring a person
always presents a potential risk. A thorough understanding of the contents of this instruction guide
is essential. If using for the first time, try without an occupant until confident in the safe operation of
the T-SB. If you have questions, please contact Autochair Ltd or representative.

User´s guide
Operation
Operate T-SB using the pushbuttons on the T-MPL hand control.
For raising and lowering the Spreaderbar:
Press up and down respectively.
Directional arrows on each button show the direction of movement
(up/down). The lift stops when you release the buttons.
Base-width adjustment
Base-width adjustment is done manually with the Leg Operating Handle. Push to the right
side to widen the base and the left side to make it narrower. Only use the four positions
to the right for the Leg Operating Handle when the T-SB is occupied, the hoist may
become unstable.
Electrical Emergency Lowering
The lift arm can be lowered electrically by pressing the switch marked “down” on the emergency
controls.
Refer to the T-MPL instructions!
Emergency stop
For emergency stop: Switch the main switch off on the T-MPL.
To release/reset: Change the switch back to the on position.
Locking the wheels
To lock wheels step on the small pedal on the back of the wheel. The wheel locks for lateral movement. In most
lifting situations, the wheels need not be locked. We recommend that the wheels be locked only when there is a
risk of personal injury in the event that the lift begins to roll, e.g. when using on a slight gradient. To release wheel
brake, lift the pedal or press the extended block above the pedal.
Locked wheels during lifting increases the risk of the lift tilting over.
Never pull the lift by the T-MPL! This may result in damage to the lift, tipping of the lift and possible
injury.

Charging the batteries
Battery capacity
The battery is capable of more than 30 lifts on a full charge depending on the load. The Lift speed will start slowing
down when it is running low on charge.
There is a pushbutton on the front of the Power Pack. Press this to check the charge level; it should illuminate
green to indicate a full charge level. The unit requires a full charge when the indicator illuminates red.
When charging from the mains socket the battery level light will illuminate red.
A full charge will take 24 hours.
Never charge for more than 36 hours.
Always switch the unit off when not in use.
For maximum battery life, batteries must be charged regularly. We recommend charging every night after using
the lift. The battery charges fully in 24 hours but a top-up charge overnight should be sufficient.
It is recommended to charge the unit in an upright position.
NOTE! A red indicator lamp on the control box lights constantly during charging.
If the charge level indicator will not turn green after a full charge the battery will need replacing.
Discontinue charging and replace battery.
Never charge batteries in a wet area!
Old batteries are to be given to authorized Autochair
personnel, or disposed of at the nearest recycling
station.
