1PURPOSE, SAFETY AND USE
Purpose
The Luna IPx4 Ceiling hoist/lift, referred to in this manual as Luna, is available in different
models. If not specified, this manual is valid for all models. The Luna also comes in a 2-channel
model, used for accessories such as Luna Mover. Use of the extra channel is described in the
accessory’s user guide.
The Luna is designed for making easy user/patient transfers from e.g. bed to wheelchair, to
toilet etc. in institutions such as nursing homes, hospitals, care centres and in homecare.
The Luna can be used as a ceiling mounted hoist/lift or as a mobile hoist/lift in fixed or
movable track systems.
The product is not bound to one person only but can easily be passed on to a new user after
thorough cleaning (see 4.1).
Essential Performance
Intended use: Lifting and lowering of patient.
The Luna can lower the weight using the emergency lowering button during susceptible to
continues phenomena of electrical interference.
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 manual.
•There must be no indication of wear and tear on the Luna, track system or lifting sling.
•NEVER begin lifting if there is suspicion of any defect (abnormal sound, loose brackets
etc.) In such cases the Luna must be taken out of service immediately and you must
contact the dealer or Winncare Nordic.
•Depending on the model the lifting capacity is 200 kg or 275 kg (440 Ibs or 606 Ibs),
and this must never be exceeded. When using Luna along with other items such as
slings, spreader bars or transportable track systems it is always the item with the
LOWEST weight capacity that decides the maximum lifting capacity.
•Make sure that the Luna or the spreader bar cannot come into contact/hit the
user/patient while mounting the sling on the spreader bar.
•A caregiver must always be present when the Luna is used.
•Make sure that neither caregiver nor patient can be injured when carrying out lifts and
transfers. Always check surroundings and move obstacles out of the way.
•Never lift higher than necessary.
•According EMC. Electrical interference from portable RF communications equipment
including antennas, can affect medical electrical equipment and should not be used
within a distance of minimum 30 cm (12 Ines) from Luna IPx4.

Luna spreader bars are designed for use with Winncare Nordic lifting slings.
Winncare Nordic lifting slings have 2-6 lifting straps and are designed for lifting hooks with a
minimum diameter of 8 mm (0.31 In).
Use of non-approved slings will make Winncare Nordic’s responsibility for faults and accidents
null and void.
Winncare Nordic can assist in choosing slings and the correct use of slings.
Attaching slings to the Winncare Nordic spreader bar
Winncare Nordic accepts no responsibility if slings are placed incorrectly. The caregiver/helper
are responsible for ensuring that a sling is mounted correctly and fit for the situation.
1) The sling strap is placed over the hook in its open
position.
1)
2) The strap is pulled down to close the hook.
Note: The hook is designed so the weight of the
patient/user will help close the hook.
2)
To release the strap after lifting, simply pull the strap upwards to open the hook.
WARNING! Risk of finger entrapment - ensure that the patient fingers cannot get
trapped.

Using Luna in a shower or bathing environment
The LunaIPx4 and the hand control are water resistant and can tolerate being sprayed with
water. Winncare Nordic recommends that the Luna is used as shown in fig. 3.2A and 3.2C.
It may be an advantage to use Luna mounted directly on the track as fig. 3.2C.
Fig. 3.2A – Right Fig. 3.2B – Wrong Fig. 3.2C – Right
Note: IPx4 hand control cannot withstand being immersed in water. As an accessory, it is
possible to buy a waterproof IPx7 hand control, which withstands to be immersed in water.
4MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
The Luna may be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth with a small quantity of standard
household cleaning agents. Strong chemicals or abrasive agents must not be used.
Storage
The Luna must be stored in a dry environment with relative humidity under 70 %.
If the Luna is not to be used for a long period, it is recommended to press the emergency stop
button to save the battery.
Note: The Luna should be fully charged before storing. The batteries will slowly discharge, so
it is recommended that the Luna is recharged every 3 months to prevent the battery
from being destroyed.
