kg with straps adapted to the load.
THIS DEVICE SHOULD BE USED BY QUA-
LIFIED AND FORMED CAREGIVERS.
NEVER USE A DEFECTIVE DEVICE.
A YEARLY MAINTENANCE IS COMPUL-
SORY.
ONLY USE DUPONT MEDICAL STRAPS.
I - WARNINGS
Distributor’s responsibility
- The distributor must inform and show the user how to handle
the patient lift stating the precautions, the use limitations, and
the risks related to inappropriate use. The security, the patient
lift (PL) stability, and the pinching risks should be explained with
detail.
- The distributor should ensure the user perfectly understood
the safety instructions.
Permissible maximum weight
- HERMES patient lift (PL) can lift a maximum weight of 250
kg, but CAUTION, the used strap should also bear 250 kg. If it
is not the case, please comply with the maximum weight stated
on the strap label.
Soft support elements (straps)
- There is a wide range of straps with different sizes and
specifications. Only use DUPONT MEDICAL straps and check
the allowed maximum weight and the strap condition before
any use.
- The strap should be adapted to the patient’s morphology and
to the transfer type.
- As the straps are not fireproof, do not use the patient lift near
flames. Do not smoke.
- Before any use, check the strap buckles are in the crossbar
hooks and the security clamps prevent the strap from going out
from the buckles.
- Position the patient on the strap so that the overhang is re-
duced to the minimum.
Le Patient
- The patient should not suffer from any disease incompatible
with transferring onto a strap.
- Do not transfer the patient if he/she is agitated, as there is a
tipping risk.
Caregivers
- The caregiver should be trained to handle the PL, and should
particularly be aware of tipping and fall risks for the patient.
- The caregiver should never transfer on his/her own a patient
who is tall and stout, since there is a tipping risk.
Maintenance
- Yearly maintenance is compulsory and should be performed
by a competent and approved staff. In case of intensive or particular
use, it is necessary to perform more maintenance tasks.

USER AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR HERMES PATIENT LIFT
For a 2-minute operation, a 18-minute resting period should be
observed. Do not exceed 2 minutes operating in continuous. Any
duty cycle exceeding the above cycle can damage the lifting
assembly (cylinder/boxes). This damage is excluded from the
warranty.
4.4) Battery
The battery does not need any specific maintenance. Nevertheless, it
should be regularly changed.
4.5) Optional medical weighing system
A user manual for the weighing system is provided with these
instructions.
(photo n° 1 non
contractual)
CAUTION: the maximum permissible load of 300
kg, indicated on the weighing system, applies to
the weighing system only, and not to the patient
lift on which it is attached (maximum lifting capacity
of the PL: 250 kg)
The weighing system fastening was adapted to HERMES
patient lift. Dupont Medical disclaims any liability if the weighing
system is used on another device different from the patient lifts
manufactured by Dupont Medical.
When lifting, lowering or transferring a patient, never apply any side
strain on the crossbar or on the patient. The weighing system
fasteners should never rest against, overhang from, the patient
lift boom or the crossbar. THERE IS A BREAKING RISK.
The condition of the fasteners should be checked every year.
V - TRANSFERRING A PATIENT
Before positioning and transferring the patient, check that:
- The patient’s weight is compatible with the maximum permissible
load of the patient lift.
- 250 kg maximum.
- The battery is charged and the patient lift is fully operational.
- The floor is flat and stable.
- The patient lift brakes are functional.
- The strap is compatible with HERMES PL (DUPONT MEDICAL
strap) and the size is adapted to the patient.
- The strap fasteners and the patient support elements are in
perfect condition.
- The maintenance task was performed (in the service book
included in this user manual, check a regular maintenance is
performed once a year at least).
- The patient is not too agitated; if he/she is agitated, another
caregiver should secure the patient transfer.
Once these checks are performed, you can transfer the patient:
CAUTION: You should move the patient lift base
apart to the maximum before lifting or moving the
patient; do not activate the wheel brakes. Do not
keep on lifting or lowering the patient if the 4 wheels are
not on the floor. The lifting task should be very progressive
checking the patient is well positioned into the strap and
there is no tipping risk due to excessive overhanging.
5.1) Base spacing :
- Before spacing or closing the base, which is composed of two
side rails, check the brakes are not engaged.
- Push the remote control button to move apart or close the
patient lift base.
5.2) Transferring the patient from a bed to an armchair
- Position the patient to be transferred on one side.
- Place the strap under the patient.
- Check the back part of the strap is correctly positioned (from
shoulders to coccyx).
- Lay the patient on the back.
- Pass each leg support under each thigh crossing them.
- Cross the fastening buckles of each leg support.
- Position the patient lift at the patient’s level.
- Hook each strap buckle to the crossbar hooks checking the
backstop clamps prevent the buckles from going out from the
hooks (see photo 2).
- The patient can now be transferred from the bed to an armchair.

USER AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR HERMES PATIENT LIFT
Particular points:
- When positioning the strap, check there is no fold at the leg
level in order not to hurt the patient.
CAUTION! WHEN LIFTING OR LOWERING A
PATIENT, NEVER ENGAGE THE WHEEL BRAKES
SO THAT THE PATIENT LIFT CORRECTLY POSITIONS
IN THE PATIENT AXIS.
IN CASE OF POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM, IT IS POSSIBLE
TO MANUALLY LOWER THE BOOM BY TURNING THE RED
RING LOCATED AT THE END OF THE LIFTING CYLINDER
ROD.
5.4) Transferring a patient lying on the floor:
CAUTION! When picking up a patient lying on the floor,
the patient lift should be placed so that the patient’s
head and chest are located between both side rails. Lift
the patient very progressively ensuring he/she is well positioned
on the straps.
5.5) Moving a patient with the PL
The PL should be used to transfer a patient from a bed
to an armchair or inversely, but should not be used to
move the patient from one place to another.
When there is no other alternative, and in case of absolute
necessity, the patient can be moved from one point to another
on a very short distance, such as from a bed to the toilet or the
bathroom.
To move a patient like that, one person should handle and push
the PL, and two other persons should ensure the patient’s sta-
bility and safety.
Be cautious with the rocking movement that could tip over the
PL leading to the patient falling. The front wheels should be
moved apart at the maximum, and the movement should be
very slow as the patient should be as near as possible from the
floor. You should also take into consideration the floor nature
and be very cautious when getting over a doorstep.
VI - DUPONT MEDICAL strap range, and strap
maintenance
There are various straps with different dimensions and weight
capacities.
See the sales literature to obtain the detailed specifications,
references, and prices.
- Check the maximum weight capacity of the strap
is higher than the patient’s weight (the maximum
weight capacity is indicated on the strap label).
- Only DUPONT MEDICAL straps can be used with
HERMES PL.
- Never modify or repair a strap.
6.1) Checking the straps
(Before any use, and to be performed by a competent staff)
Before any use, check the condition of the straps: no undone
sewing, the upholstery and the straps should not be fringed, no
tear and no wear sign (transparent upholstery weft).
6.2) Cleaning
(When necessary, and to be performed by a competent
staff)
- The straps can be washed at 40°C at the maximum. See
the instructions on the strap label.
- The straps should be disinfected with detergent solutions
(see below Chap. VII-2).
VII - HERMES PL maintenance:
Disconnect the power supply cord and remove the
battery before any maintenance operation.
7.1) Cleaning:
(Every month or when necessary, and to be performed by a
competent staff)
- Clean the patient lift with a soft cloth dampened with soapy
solution, then rinse, and carefully dry.
- Do not use aggressive detergent; do not soak.
7.2) Disinfecting:
(When necessary, and to be performed by a competent staff)
Disinfecting is performed with detergents and disinfecting
solutions sprayed on the external patient lift areas. It is a
foaming solution that does not require rinsing, but only
drying. Our internal services use ANIOS solutions.
7.3) Daily maintenance :
- Charge the patient lift every night.
Orange CHARGE LED indicator off = fully charged
Orange CHARGE LED indicator on = insufficiently charged or
charging did not work.
7.4) Routine maintenance:
(Every month or when necessary, and to be performed by a
competent staff)
The routine maintenance consists in checking the system
functionality:
- The patient lift positioned on a flat floor, check its 4 wheels
are simultaneously touching the floor.
- When the brakes are engaged, the patient lift should not be
moved (flat and adhered floor).
- Operate the patient lift with nobody in, check the boom and the
side rails move steadily with no noise.
- Control the handles located on the mast and check there is no
excessive play between the boom and the mast, and between
the mast and the side rails.
- Check the plastic protective housings and casings are not
broken or cracked.
– Check the condition of the connecting cables: power supply

USER AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR HERMES PATIENT LIFT
cord, remote control and cylinders; if a cable shows a slight
burn, wear, or impact sign, or if the wires are visible, immediately
stop using the patient lift, and have the cables replaced by the
engineering department.
7.5) Preventive maintenance
The maintenance should be realised every year or every
10,000 lifting-lowering cycles (that is to say, about 30 uses per
day).
The maintenance should be performed by a competent staff
with electromechanical skills experienced with the maintenance
of similar devices.
The maintenance tasks do not require particular tools;
adequate tools should be used according to the best industry
practices.
- The crossbar suspension assembly should be imperatively
checked on each maintenance task.
Mechanical fastening, plays, and adjustments should be
realised according to the best industry practices.
In case of dysfunction or doubt, do not use the patient lift,
contact DUPONT MEDICAL customer service, and then,
depending on the case, replace the defective element(s).
7.5.1) Mechanical inspection :
- Before any use, check the PL functionality.
7.5.2) If the PL is functional and that there is no
excessive play between the PL moving parts, it is not necessary
to disassemble the joint pins of the side rails and to disassemble
the boom from the mast. Only the crossbar suspension should
be imperatively disassembled and checked.
- Visually check the welding. If some paint comes off near a
welding, it can indicate a welding defect.
- Visually check the alignments: of the parallelism between the
side rails and parallelism of the boom against the side rails, as
well as the squareness across the mast against the plan formed
by the side rails.
- Disassemble and check the crossbar suspension assembly
and replace the 3 plastic rings if they have wear signs.
- Check the tightening of all the parts.
- Check the fastening, wheel play, and brake performance. In
case of excessive play or malfunction, disassemble and clean
the front and rear wheels. If necessary, replace the defective
wheel(s).
7.5.3) If the PL is functional, but there is play between
the moving parts, it is necessary to follow the operations described
in paragraph 7.5.2, and to disassemble the joint pins of the side
rails and to disassemble the boom from the mast.
- Totally disassemble the joint pins and automatically replace
the plastic rings and/or the axles that have wear signs.
After reassembling the PL, ensure the security elements are
positioned: the pins should be locked, and the suspension pin
should be secured with its clamp. See the security label affixed
on the PL mast.
The mechanical parts that have cracks, wear signs or geometrical
defects should be replaced with original components provided
by Dupont Medical.
7.5.4) Electrical inspection:
- Check the remote control.
- Check the charging unit, the power supply unit, and the lifting
cylinder.
- Check the emergency stop and lowering.
- Condition of the electric cables (change the cables in case of
doubt).
Replace the electric cables and/or the components to which
they are connected if there are signs of wear, sheath cut, outlet
damage or plastic and sheath darkening around the coupling
area. Replace the defective components with original components.
Note: Never disassemble the protective housings of the cylinders
and of the remote control.
7.5.5) Battery inspection
- Fully charge the battery, and then try to lift a load. If the lifting
time is higher than 1.30 minute, replace the battery.
The battery should be changed every 2 or 3 years depending
on the duty cycle. The worn or malfunctioning parts should be
replaced with original parts provided by DUPONT MEDICAL.
7.5.6) Straps
The straps should be checked at least once a year, or more
regularly in case of intensive use, checking that: The sewing
are not undone, the upholstery and strap weft is not visible, and
there is no torn part. Never use a defective strap.
Never modify a strap.
Never use any other strap than the ones provided by DUPONT
MEDICAL.
The worn or malfunctioning parts should be replaced with
original parts provided by DUPONT MEDICAL.
Have some tries with a load before commissioning the patient
lift again.
7.5.7) Service book
Every maintenance operation or intervention should be recorded in
the service book that is at the end of these instructions.
7.5.8) Shipping, storage, and disposal
- The patient lift should be returned or transported in its original
packaging.
- Before storing the patient lift, clean it totally and check its
performance. Store the patient lift in a dry place away from
dust and humidity.
