1. PURPOSE, SAFETY AND USE
1.1 Purpose
The LunaIPx4, referred to in this user guide as Luna, is also available in different models. If
not otherwise stated in this guide the description is valid for all models.
The Luna ceiling hoist is designed to transfer client between bed and chair/wheelchair or
from chair to toilet etc. in institutions such as nursing homes, hospitals, care centres and in
home care. The Luna ceiling hoist can be used as a ceiling mounted hoist or as a mobile
hoist in fixed or movable track systems.
Before using the Luna please read and follow these instructions:
Personnel will have received qualified instructions in using the Luna ceiling hoist.
Luna is used in suitable track systems that have been approved by Ergolet.
The installation of the track system is carried out by installers authorised by Ergolet.
Luna can only be fitted with spreader bars supplied by Ergolet.
The Luna has been developed for use with Ergolet lifting slings and other sling
products authorised by Ergolet. See Ergolet’s sling leaflet for specific information
about slings.
Luna is intended for use under normal temperatures (+2 to +40˚C) and relative
humidity (40 –90%).
If Luna is used near shower systems or bath, it should be ensured that the Luna or
hand control is not submerged (see section 3.3).
Luna should never be used in an environment containing chlorine or in other
aggressive environments.
1.2 Safety instructions
Important –Warning!
This user guide must be read thoroughly before Luna is taken into service.
All parts must be mounted correctly and according to this user guide.
There must be no indication of wear and tear on the Luna ceiling hoist, track
system or lifting sling.
NEVER begin lifting if there is suspicion of any defect (abnormal sound, loose
brackets etc.) In such cases the hoist must be taken out of service immediately and
you must contact your dealer or Ergolet.
The Luna lifting capacity is 200 kg or 275 kg and this must never be exceeded.
When using Luna in connection with other components e.g. slings or transportable
track systems it is always the component with the LOWEST weight capacity that
decides the maximum lifting capacity.
Ensure that the Luna or the spreader bar does not come into contact with the user,
when the sling is hung onto the spreader bar
Ensure that neither carers/helpers nor clients/users can be hurt during the lifting.
Never lift higher than necessary when hoisting.

1.3 Check before use
The carer is responsible for ensuring that a check is carried out BEFORE Luna and
accessories are used, including the following:
The lifting strap on the Luna is checked for wear and tear or damage. If there is
any sign of a defect, the Luna must be taken out of use immediately.
Check the up/down function, if any abnormal sound is heard the Luna must not
be used before it has been checked by a qualified technician.
When the up/down function are checked, ensure at the same time that the strap
not folds or twists. Check also that the strap moves freely into the Luna.
Lifting slings are checked for any damage especially as regards to lifting straps.
The slings must be not used if defects are detected.
If you are in any doubt concerning the use of the Luna please contact the dealer
or Ergolet for advice and guidance.

2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
2.1 Installation and dismantling of the ceiling hoist
Luna can be mounted in different modes to satisfy varying needs. The mode of mounting is
decided between the buyer and the Ergolet representative. The Luna ceiling hoist has been
readied for mounting in one of the following modes:
Be aware that the Luna weights 6,7 kg.
A) Luna mounted on the track
Luna is mounted directly on to the track, where a cart is also
positioned to receive the unit. This cart has a bayonet bracket
to connect with the corresponding receptacle on the Luna
(Fig. 2.1A).
1) Lift the Luna cassette up to the cart and connect the
bayonet bracket into the Luna (resistance will be felt
since the bracket is spring loaded).
2) Luna is now turned 90˚ clockwise. When Luna is in
place a click will be heard. This indicates correct
mounting.
If Luna is not mounted correctly an electronic safety device prevents operation
of the unit.
Dismounting of Luna from the track
1) Press Luna upwards against the cart (the unit is spring loaded).
2) Turn 90˚ anti clockwise to dismount the Luna.
B) Luna mounted on the strap
The strap and hook for mounting is already attached to the
Luna cassette. (Fig. 2.1B)
1) Luna is mounted by connecting the strap with the
spring-loaded hook to the cart in the track.
2) Insert the hook in the bracket on the cart and pull
down until the hook is fixed in the bracket.
Always check that the hook is clicked before the Luna is used.

The Luna is ready for use, when the Luna cassette and the spreader bar are correctly
mounted. Connect the hand control to the plug inlet on the front panel and test the
up/down functions before using the Luna.
The Luna will move faster when not loaded in order to reach the user quickly. When the
user is lifted the speed will automatically reduce to increase the comfort and safety for the
user.
2.5 Operation of safety functions
Emergency stop:
This function is only to be used in an emergency e.g. if the Luna does not react or does not

To activate the emergency lowering hold the button on the hand control or on the front
panel for 5 seconds and a “beep” from the Luna sounds. This is a hold to run button.
Warning! The emergency lowering does not work if the hand control has a
defect.
Note! If the Luna is in “sleep”-mode press either the up or down button for
the emergency lowering to work.

3 USING LUNA
Luna is ready for use if all the assembly instructions have been followed correctly.
3.1 Using lifting slings
Luna spreader bars are designed for use with Ergolet lifting slings. Ergolet lifting slings have
2-6 lifting straps and are designed for lifting hooks with a minimum diameter on ø8 mm.
Use of non-approved slings will make Ergolet’s responsibility for faults and accidents null
and void.
Ergolet can assist in choosing slings and also the correct use of slings.
Hanging slings on the Ergolet spreader bar
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
mounted.
1) The sling strap is placed over the hook in its open
position.
1)
2) The strap is pulled downwards so that the hook
closes.
Note: The design of the lifting hook is such that the weight
of the client/user will help close the hook.
2)
To release the strap after lifting simply pull upwards to open the hook.
WARNING: Risk of finger entrapment - ensure that user’s fingers cannot get
trapped.
!

3.2 Room to room transfer
It is possible to move a client from room to room in 2 different ways. To ensure that the
transfer is done correctly without any risk for the client, follow the description A) Transfer
with two Luna ceiling hoist or B) Transfer with one Luna ceiling hoist.
A) Transfer with two Luna ceiling hoist
Note: only possible when using a special spreader bar.
1) In this lifting situation Luna (a and b) are moved,
as close together as it is possible.
2) Luna (a) with user is moved to the door after
which the lifting strap from Luna (b) is extended
and fitted on the extra bracket ring on the
spreader bar.
3) Now with both Luna cassettes connected to the

correctly.
4) The lifting strap on Luna (a) released whilst the
lifting strap on Luna (b) is tightened.
5) When the lifting strap on Luna (b) is vertical and

unit. The lifting strap on Luna (a) can now be
removed by releasing the spring loaded hook on
the spreader bar (this is done best by lifting the
hook up, press the spring and remove).
6) The transfer can now continue with Luna (b).

3.3 Using Luna in a shower or bathing environment
The LunaIPx4 and the hand control are water resistant and can tolerate being sprayed with
water. Ergolet recommend that the normally used for the Luna is as fig. 3.2A and 3.2C.
It may be an advantage to use Luna mounted directly on the rail, as fig. 3.2C.
Fig. 3.2A –Right
Fig. 3.2B –Wrong
Fig. 3.2C –Right
Note: The IPx4 hand control must not be immersed in water.
4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Cleaning
Luna may be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth with a small quantity of standard
household cleaning agent. Strong chemicals or abrasive agents must not be used.
4.2 Storage
Luna must be stored in a dry environment with relative humidity under 70%.
If the Luna is not to be used over a long period press the emergency stop button to save
the battery.
Note: Luna should be fully charged before storing. The batteries will slowly be discharged,
so it is recommended that the Luna is recharged every 3 months to prevent the battery
from being destroyed.
