1. Aim and use
1.1 Purpose
Stellar/160 is a mobile stand-aid lifter designed to transfer persons in institutions such as
nursing homes, hospitals, care centres and in home care. Stellar can be used for transfer
between bed and chair/wheelchair, from chair to another chair and from wheelchair to a
toilet/commode.
Stellar is approved to transfer with a maximum load on 160 kg.
Before using the Stellar please follow these instructions:
Personnel have received qualified instruction by Ergolet in using the stand-aid lifter.
The stand-aid lifter has been assembled correctly and according to this user instruction.
NEVER use the stand-aid lifter for other purposes than described in this user instruction.
Ensure the user cannot be squeezed or restricted in the lifting situation.
The stand-aid lifter has been developed for use with Ergolet lifting slings and other sling
products authorized by Ergolet. See Ergolet’s user instruction for slings for specific
information about which models that can be used.
The stand-aid lifter is intended for indoor use under normal temperatures (+2 –+40 C°)
and relative humidity (40-90%).
1.2 Safety instructions
This user instruction must be read thoroughly before the stand-aid lifter is taken into use.
All parts must be mounted correctly according to this user instruction.
There must be no indication of wear and tear on the stand-aid lifter or the lifting sling.
NEVER begin lifting if there is suspicion of any defect (abnormal sound, loose brackets
etc.). In such cases it is important to find the cause and to take the stand-aid lifter out of
service and your dealer or Ergolet contacted.
The lifting capacity must never be exceeded. When using the stand-aid lifter in
connection with other components e.g. slings it is always the component with the
LOWEST weight capacity that decides the maximum lifting capacity.
Ensure that neither carers/helpers nor patients/users can be hurt during the lifting.
Using the lifter may not run on uneven surfaces or threshold.
Never lift higher than necessary in the actual lifting situation.
See section 5.1 (annual check) for further information.

1.3 Daily check
The carer/helper is responsible for ensuring that a daily check is carried out BEFORE the
stand-aid lifter and accessories are used, including the following:
1) Check that the stand-aid lifter is complete and no parts are missing.
2) Check that there are no signs of rust, wear and tear or other defects. If there is any sign
of a defect the stand-aid lifter must be taken out of service.
3) If any abnormal sound is heard from the stand-aid lifter, the lifter must not be used
before personnel authorised by Ergolet have carried out a safety check on the unit.
4) Check the lifting slings for any damages especially as regards to the lifting straps for
tears in the material. The slings must not be used if defects are detected.
5) If in any doubt concerning the use of stand-aid lifter or lifting slings, contact Ergolet for
advice and guidance.

1.7 Mounting of lifting slings
The stand-aid lifter is equipped with lifting arms where there in the end is a hook, which is
designed for use with Ergolet lifting slings. Ergolets lifting slings have 4-6 lifting straps and are
designed for lifting hooks larger than ø8mm.
If using non-authorized slings Ergolet will have no responsibility for faults and accidents.
Ergolet can assist in choosing slings and their correct use.
Fitting slings on the Ergolet lifting hook
Ergolet accepts no responsibility if slings are placed incorrectly, it is always the onus of the
carer/helper to ensure that the sling is correct for the situation needs and is correctly fitted.
(1) The sling strap is placed over the hook in its open position.
(Fig. 1.7A)
(2) The strap is pulled downwards so that the hook closes.
(Fig. 1.7B)
The design of the lifting hook is such that the weight of the
patient/user will help close the hook.
To release the strap after lifting simply pull upwards to open
the hook.
Note: Risk of finger entrapment - ensure that patients’ fingers cannot get trapped.
