1. General advisories
1.1 Introduction
In these User Instructions you will find information
and advisories for start-up, use, operation,
maintenance and care of the Patient Hoist Arnold
150.
1.2 Intended proper use
The Patient Hoist is for use in care facilities, clinics
and home purposes. The lifter described herein is
exclusively for moving (lifting and transferring) a
patient in a sling.
max. carrying load 150 kg
The Patient Hoist may not be used for longer
transport distances, or to other floors, or travel
over uneven surfaces. It may not be used for other
purposes such as transporting other objects. Also
observe the local ambient conditions when using
the Patient Lifter (see: page 4-5 / section 8.2).
1.3 Operating comfort
The Patient Hoist is equipped with an electrical
hoisting unit, low charge protection, emergency
lowering, emergency OFF function and a
rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery allows the Patient Hoist
to be used independently of an external energy
supply for a certain period of time (depending on
the charge level of the battery) and so increases
mobility during use.
The base frame can be spread apart simply by
activating the foot pedal, and thus increases
stability. The rear castor wheels can be easily
locked with the brake lever using your foot.
Using the hand switch, the lifter arm can be moved
up or down without any jerky movement and
steplessly via a motorised drive unit.
1.4 Accessories / sling
Various sling systems are available as accessories

10. Setting up the Patient Hoist for use
The product is delivered partially pre-assembled.
The following assembly instructions must be
carried out before first-time use.
Step 1: Unpack
Remove the Patient Hoist out of the packaging and
place it on a level floor.
Lock the wheel castors (see: page 8, section 14)
so that the Hoist cannot roll away.
Step 2: Install the control-/battery unit
Securely screw the control unit (K) to the column
(A) using both M6x16 screws (1) (included in the
accessories) using an (SW5) Allen key.
Be sure that the red button of the control unit is
correctly positioned, facing the handle!
Step 3: Set up the column
Before setting up column (A), first unlock the wheel
brakes (F). To avoid damaging the paint coating on
the column, first straighten the pedal (D).
Next lock the wheel brakes!
Step 4: Install the column

The column (A) can now be set up together with
the lifter arm (B).
By inserting bolt (1) into the borehole, the column
(A) is arrested.
Next secure the bolt against slipping out by
installing the screw ring (2) “or spring clip” and
then tighten the M10 cap nut (3) to the column (A).
Step 5: Install the Hoist axis
To mount the drive motor to the Hoist axis, first
remove the key ring and bolt (1) “or spring clip (2)”
from the hole of the Hoist arm (A).
Next lift up the Hoist arm (A) and align the
borehole of the Hoist axis (X) with the Hoist arm.
Then insert the bolt and secure it with the key ring.
Now the Hoist arm is secured.
Be sure that the key ring or spring clip
is fully closed!
Step 6: Cable connections
Carefully insert plug (1) of the drive unit into the
jack (X) and the plug (2) of the hand switch into
jack (Y) on the side of the control unit (K).
Step 7: Emergency OFF button
Before starting up the Patient Hoist, the
emergency OFF button must be deactivated. To
do this, rotate the button clockwise until it pops
out.
11. Charging the battery
11.1 Rechargeable battery
If the lifting and lowering of the Hoist arm becomes
noticeably slower, then the battery charge is too
low.
Recharge the battery as soon as possible! This
extends the lifetime of the rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries that are not used for an
extended period of time should be recharged every
3 months in order to avoid low charges. Otherwise
the charging capacity of the battery is negatively
impacted.
The lifetime of the batteries depends on the
loading and the charge level.

11.2 Connecting and charging
Observe the following instructions!
•Check over the charging unit to be sure that the
connector cables or the plugs are not damaged.
DO NOT USE cables or plugs that are damaged!
•Check the power mains supply (230-240V/50Hz)
and power supply fuse protection for the
charging unit.
•The charging unit and the rechargeable battery
may not be opened under any circumstances!
•The Patient Hoist may not be operated while
it is being charged!
Insert the flat plug (1) of the charging cable (see
accessories) into the jack (C) of the control unit
and then insert the plug (2) into the wall outlet.
Depending on the battery charge level, the
charging process can be as long as 10 hours. If
the charging process lasts longer than 10 hours,
then the rechargeable battery or the charging unit
is defective.
After charging, pull out the plug from the outlet and
then wind the cable around the holder for storage.
11.3 Charge level / indicator lamps
The LED charge level indicator lamp is located
below the window of the control unit. The LED
display is visible when looking directly at the
window from above.
Indicator / LED
LED-dark: Battery capacity is sufficient
LED-green: Battery is fully charged!
LED-red: If the red LED illuminates when
activating the hand switch, then
it means the battery capacity is
too low.
Battery must be recharged!
11.4 Removing the rechargeable battery
The battery can be removed for replacing or for
storing.
Look at the diagram on the battery unit.
12. Emergency OFF function
By pressing the red emergency OFF button, it
locks into position. The drive system is interrupted
and cannot be operated with the manual switch. It
is activated in emergency situations and in the
event proper operation of the Patient Hoist is
impaired.
By rotating the emergency OFF button clockwise,
it will pop back out and is thus released. The drive
unit can then be operated using the manual switch.
13. Manual switch
The drive unit is activated with the manual switch
(stepless adjustment) and activates “lifting“
and “lowering“ of the Hoist arm.

For the desired action, the button is kept pressed
down. When releasing the button, the drive
automatically stops.
14. Wheel brakes
Both wheel brakes are an important safety feature
whenever using the Patient Hoist. The back swivel
castors are equipped with wheel locks and allow
locking of the rear wheels.
Danger – Risk of tipping over!
Both rear wheels must be locked.
Press the wheel lock
levers down with your
foot. The wheels are
now locked and the
direction is secured.
Be sure that the wheels
are not swivelled
inwards.
The wheel brakes can

your foot.
15. Emergency lowering / jamming protection
15.1 Electric emergency lowering
If the hand switch is out of order due to a defect,
yet the electrical system is still able to function
(battery is sufficiently charged), then the lifting axis
can be lowered one more time by using the
emergency OFF button.
15.2 Mechanical emergency lowering
In the event the patient becomes exposed to an
emergency situation, or an electrical defect occurs
with the drive motor, or the control unit fails or the
battery is completely uncharged, then it is
necessary to use the mechanical emergency
lowering system.
Before using the emergency lowering, it is
absolutely necessary to interrupt the power supply
from the battery. Press the emergency OFF
button!
Danger! Risk of injury!
When using emergency mechanical lowering,
do not stand under the Hoist arm!
Start lowering
Grab the red rotary grip and
pull it downwards until it
clicks into position. For
lowering the drive axis, grab
the red rotary grip and turn it
counter-clockwise.
Stop lowering
Let go of the red rotary grip
and turn clockwise a half
turn until it clicks into
position. Lowering is now
blocked.
16. Stability – spreading the base
The foot pedal allows the spreading of the base
members (left and right) and thus facilitates
moving the unit to the area of use. Press the foot
pedal all the way down to the stop.
Danger of tipping over!
Spread the base members only when the rear
wheel locks are fully disengaged!

17. Hoist arm (carrier for slings)
The carrier is for hanging slings in which the
patient can be held and lifted up and transferred.
The carrier can be rotated 360°
Hanging the sling must be done using all four
hooks so that the load is evenly distributed.
Abide fully to the maintenance instructions for the
carrier (see: page 9, section 20).
Depending on the application, there are several
different types of slings systems offered by
REBOTEC. To assist you in selecting the most

19. Care
In general the Patient Lifter can be cleaned
using a mild conventional cleaning and
disinfecting agent. Simply wipe the product
with clean water and cloth, and then wipe
dry with a clean cloth.
Maximum cleaning temperature of
65°
°°
°C must be observed!
The Patient Hoist must not be washed
inside an automatic washing unit!
Do not use an abrasive scouring agent or cleaner
(read the product instructions!) that contain
aggressive solvents (acids, thinners, benzene). Do
not use stiff cleaning brushes, as these will
damage the painting or cause deposits to build up
on the steel parts and other materials.
Emergency lowering
The emergency lowering mechanism may not be
treated with oil, grease or other lubricant. This will
lead to faulty function when lowering.
20. Maintenance
Accidents or damage may be caused by the late
detection of wear and/or improper use, as well as
irregular or no maintenance.
For safety reasons and for preventing
accidents, the Lifter must undergo a
complete maintenance at least once a
year. (Refer to the Medical Products Act
and the local regulations.)
For documenting maintenance, REBOTEC offers a
maintenance manual (see: section 9).
Here you will find all information concerning the
scope of maintenance and forms for
documentation.
You can order this instruction manual or download
it at our website: www.rebotec.de.
