General safety information
General
Before the Molift Mover 180 can be started
up, operator must make sure that the lift is in
good working order, in terms of both safety and
operation.
The lift must be taken out of operation immediately
if faults aecting safety and reliability are identied.
Molift Mover 180 has an SWL (Safe Working
Load) of 182 kg. This means that it is built
and tested to lift patients weighing up to 182
kg. When using accessories (e.g. slings and
stretchers) with a lower SWL, the lowest SWL
will apply.
The lift may tip over if used incorrectly! Make
sure you are familiar with the instructions
before you attempt to lift anyone.
The lift must not be used on sloping floors or ramps.
Use the push handle when manoeuvring the lift; do not pull the patient or the lifting arm.
Medical electrical equipment requires
special precautions regarding electro-
magnetic compatibility (EMC). Portable or
mobile radio communication equipment
may aect the medical electrical equipment,
and should be kept minimum 25 cm (10
inches) from the lifters electronics.
Safety instructions
• The lift has an overload protection function to
prevent it from lifting more than 182 kg.
• The lift is also designed such that it cannot
crush patients if it is lowered too far.
• Pressing the emergency stop button shuts o
the power supply straight away and stops the
lift.
• The lift features both an electrical and a manual
emergency lowering function.
• The lift has a light to indicate when it needs
service.
Assembly and dismantling
Unpacking
• The lift is delivered in a cardboard box. Make
sure that the packaging is intact upon delivery.
If it is not intact, check the contents of the box; if
there is evidence of damage inside, contact your
Molift representative straight away.
• The box contains a complete Mover lift unit,
including hand control, battery and battery
charger.
Assembly
• Roll the chassis out of the cardboard box.
• Charge the battery.
N.B. The battery must not be in the holder on the
column during installation.
• Slide the column into the column holder on the
chassis as shown in the pictures below.
• Lock the lift column in place by fastening the
two Allen screws in front and rear of the chassis
as shown in the pictures below.
Screws will ensure that the column cannot
be pulled upwards. Do not use lifter unless
screws are in place.
• Plug the hand control into the very bottom of
the battery holder. The hand control has a hook
so that it can be hung on the bracket at the top
of the column.

BM08101 Molift MOVER 180 English - Rev C 19.12.2013 Page 5 of 16
• Insert the battery into the holder on the
column with the two battery terminals facing
downwards. Run the empty lift up and down
a few times to make sure that it is working
proerly. (The batteries should always be charged
prior to use.)
• Install the suspension as shown in pictures
below. Align supension in fork. Insert locking
pin. Make sure locking pin is properly fastened.
Dismantling
• Remove the suspension.
• Run the lifting arm into its lowest position.
• Remove the hand control and battery from the
lift to prevent it from falling out in transit.
• Remove both Allen screws on the front and rear,
and remove the column.
Take care to ensure that your feet and arms do
not get caught when the column and lifting
arm are being lowered.
Storage and transportation
- Storage: For long time storage it is
recommended that the battery is removed and
the emergency stop button is activated. The
lifter can be stored and transported under the
following conditions:
• Pressure: 70 - 106 kPa
• Humidity: 15 - 93 %
• Temperature: -25 - 70 °C
- The lifter is designed for use at standard room
temperatures (+5 to +40°C). Following storage
or transport at other temperatures leave the
lifter in a room with a suitable temperature until
it reaches a safe operating temperature.

How to use the Molift Mover 180
Place the battery in the battery holder. The hand
control for the Molift Mover 180 has four buttons to
move the lift up and down and the legs in and out.
The hand control has a LED that illuminates when
the battery needs charging.
If the lift does not function when the relevant
button is pressed, please refer to the trouble-
shooting guide in the Maintenance section to
nd out what is causing the problem.

Lifting and moving
The suspension must always be placed crossways
the person who is being lifted.
Make sure that the sling is fastened securely
on all four hooks of the suspension so that the
person in the sling does not slip or fall out.
When moving the patient, they must sit low-down,
if possible with their feet placed on the base, or
so that their centre of gravity is as low as possible.
This will reduce the risk of instability and/or tipping
over. The lift should also be moved with the legs
as wide spread as possible to achieve maximum
stability.
When moving the patient, stand to the side of the
person you are lifting. Make sure that arms and legs
do not obstruct the lift, seat, bed, etc. Keep eye
contact with the patient to help them feel safe.
When moving the patient, take care to avoid
collisions with objects and furniture in the room.
Avoid thick carpets, high door sills, uneven
surfaces and any other obstacles which may mean
the wheels get jammed. If the lift is pushed over
obstacles, it may become unstable and tip over.
The lift is designed to move patients over
short distances only; it is not a replacement
for wheelchairs or similar.
Using the leg adjustment function
Use a wide leg setting when necessary, e.g. to get
round (wheel)chairs, toilets, etc.
The leg adjustment mechanism has a safety
function to prevent the legs from hurting the
patient when they are being lifted from the oor;
the motor shuts down in the event of any unusually
fast change to the leg setting. If this happens, press
the opposite button to re-start the leg adjustment
motor.

Page 8 of 16 BM08101 Molift MOVER 180 English - Rev C 19.12.2013
Emergency stop and emergency lowering
Contact a service partner if the cause of the
shutdown/emergency lowering is unknown,
or if a fault is detected. The lift must be taken
out of operation and marked with “out of
order” until the issue has been resolved.
Emergency stop
The emergency stop button can be found on
the battery holder on the right-hand side of the
column. The emergency stop shuts o the power.
Turn clockwise to reset.
Electrical emergency lowering function
It is possible to perform an emergency lowering of
the lifting arm in case of a general malfunction of
the control electronics. The button can be found
on the battery holder. If you need to perform an
emergency lowering, move the lifter to a suitable
location to lower the patient.
• Press the emergency lowering button on the
battery holder; the lifting arm will then steadily
move downwards. The electrical emergency
lowering function does not work when the
emergency stop is activated.
• If the lift still does not work, replace the battery
and test the emergency lowering function
again.
• If it fails to work, the patient will need to be
lowered manually, either using the manual
emergency lowering function or by calling for
assistance.
Manual emergency lowering function
The lift has a manual emergency lowering function
on its motor, which can be used when the electrical
emergency lowering function is not working.
Pull the red handle up slightly. Exercise caution
as the lift will move more quickly the higher the
handle is pulled. Releasing the handle too quickly
will increase the risk of person injury and damage
to the lift.

Using slings
Molift Easy sling is an all-round sling that ts most
users and lifting situations in the home care and
institutional environment. A variety of slings are
available for each specic situation. Please consult
the operation manual supplied with each sling
for more detailed information on how to use and
maintain them.
We recommend using Molift slings with Molift lifts.
Slings made by other suppliers may vary in their
specications and centres of gravity, and could
lead to instability and person injury.
Molift slings must only be used to lift people. NEVER
use the slings to transport other objects.
Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail,
resulting in serious injury to the user. Use slings
in good condition only. Destroy and discard old,
unusable slings.

Batteries and charging system
Charging and handling the battery
The battery charger can be used as a table-top
unit or can be xed to the wall. The Charger must
be placed or installed in a way that makes it easy
to disconnect mains cable plug. Take care not to
damage the cable.
Insert the battery into the charger. The light on the
charger will come on.

No bat
Battery capacity
The LED on the hand control and on the battery
holder will illuminate when the battery power
falls below a certain level, indicating that charging
is needed. A sound signal will also be heard. If
the battery goes at in the middle of a lifting
manoeuvre, there will always be sucient power
to lower the patient down again.
New batteries will not work at full capacity
until they have been fully charged and run
empty several times.
Electronics
The lift counts the number of lifting manoeuvres
performed. This information can be read using the
Molift Service Tool, which will indicate when the lift
needs a service, e.g. a new lift motor. Please also
refer to the Maintenance chapter.
The electronics have an energy-saving function
that shuts the system down after approx. ten
minutes of inactivity. All the lights will go o. The
electronics will be activated by pressing one of the
operating buttons.
If the lift is in constant use for a long period of time,
there is a risk of the electronics overheating and the
lift stopping. Allow the lift to cool down suciently
before using it again.
Discarded lifters and batteries should be
handled as electronic waste and collected
seperately according to local laws and
regulations.
Molift Mover 180 should not be run
constantly for more than 2 minutes (with
maximum load), and rest for minimum 18
minutes.

much the lift has been used. After a certain period
of operation a signal is given to indicate that service
is required. The service light has the following
signals:
Service light Status
Not illuminated Power-save mode
Green Ready for use
Yellow Book service, lift still
functional
Red Service required
Red + sound signal Service urgently re-
