Definitions Used in this Manual:
Means: Failure to understand and follow these
instructions may result in injury to yourself
and others.
Means: Failure to follow these instructions
may cause damage to the product.
Means: This is important information
regarding the correct use of the equipment.
Intended Use
The Maxi Sky 1000 is designed for lifting patients
in a homecare setting, at nursing homes and
other assisted living centers. Patient transferring
is performed under the supervision of
appropriately trained caregivers in accordance
with the instructions found in this manual.
The product must only be used for the reasons
stated above. It must be installed by
ArjoHuntleigh authorized personnel and in
accordance with local codes.
Operational Life
The equipment is designed and tested for a
useful life of seven (7) years or 10 000 transfers,
whichever comes first. It is subject to preventative
maintenance as specified in the “Care and
Maintenance” section. Time equivalence between
the number of transfers versus the number of
years is made clear in the table in Fig. 1.
The red indicator light on the ceiling lift will blink
when it is about halfway through its useful life,
and again to indicate the end of the useful life
period.
Aging of the ceiling lift, frequency of use
(transfers per day), the weight of the patient and
maintenance frequency are factors that have an
impact on the Maxi Sky 1000’s life span. A
transfer is defined as the displacement of a
patient from one point to another. A transfer cycle
includes a lifting and a descending action.
The expected operational life for fabric slings and
fabric stretchers is approximately two years from
purchase date. This life expectancy only applies if
the slings and stretchers have been cleaned,
maintained and inspected in accordance with the
ArjoHuntleigh Sling Application Guide, the
Instructions for Use and the Preventive
Maintenance Schedule.
The expected life for other consumable products,
such as batteries, fuses, lamps, slings, straps and
cords is dependent upon the care and usage of
the equipment concerned. Consumables must be
maintained in accordance with published
Instructions for Use and the Preventive
Maintenance Schedule.
Product Identification
The unit's identification number (specification,
model, serial number) appears on a silver
nameplate attached at one end of the lift (see
Fig. 34).

according to the rules specified in this manual.
Never attempt to force a control or button on
the lift.
• The charger is not stored in a shower, bath or
other areas with high humidity.
• The sling straps are in good condition and
properly fastened.
• The daily maintenance is carried out before
using the lift.
• Any precautionary or instruction labels are

injuries to you or to others.
CAUTION: Do not drop the ceiling lift. This
could cause internal damage. If the ceiling

control cable or the emergency pull cord.
Necessary precautions should be taken to
