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 product.
Intended Use
The Maxi Sky 600 lift 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
an appropriately trained caregiver staff in
accordance with the instructions outlined in this
manual. All other uses must be avoided.
The Maxi Sky 600 must only be used for the
purposes stated above, and must be installed by
ArjoHuntleigh authorized personnel and in
accordance with local codes.
Operational Life
The Maxi Sky 600 is designed and tested for a
useful life of seven (7) years or 10,000
transfers—whichever comes first—subject to
preventative maintenance as specified in the
“Care and Maintenance” section in this manual.
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 lift cassette will blink
when it is about halfway to its useful life, and
again to indicate the end of the useful life period.
The operating life of this equipment corresponds
directly to the safe operating time period before a
complete overhaul is required. Aging of the
cassette, frequency of use (transfers per day), the
weight of the patient and maintenance frequency
are factors that have an impact on the
Maxi Sky 600 lift’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
date of purchase. 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”.
How to Use this Manual
If anything is not completely understood, please
contact your local ArjoHuntleigh agent for more
details. Failure to comply with warnings in this
manual may result in injuries.
Keep this manual with the lift cassette and refer to
it as required. Make sure that all operators are
regularly trained in the use of the equipment
according to the information found therein.
