THIS MANUAL.
Introduction
Overview of C1000 lift system
Before using this equipment, and to ensure the safe operation of your C1000 lift, carefully read this entire
manual, especially the section on “Cautions”. The C1000 is designed to be used in conjunction with Handi-
care lift track, accessories and slings. Please refer to any user guides supplied with these components and refer
to them while reviewing this manual.
Should any questions arise from reviewing this manual contact your local authorized Handicare dealer. Failure
to comply with warnings in this manual may result in injury to either the operator, or the individual being lift-
ed/transferred. Damage to the lift and/or related components may also occur. Be sure that the contents of this
manual are completely understood prior to using this piece of equipment.
Store this manual with the documents included with the lift system and sling (s). Contents of this manual are
subject to change without prior written notice.
The C1000 is a lifting aid used by health care professionals and those providing care in the home to lift, posi-
tion and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The C1000 lift is part of what is termed ceiling lift tech-
nology which takes advantage of lifting from above and not from below or the side. Additionally the ceiling
lift does not take up valuable floor space as most traditional methods do. Finally, the ceiling lift makes it possi-
ble to move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing com-
plete safety, dignity and comfort for the client or family member.
The C1000 lift is one of three major components that make up this technology. The other two components are
the track and sling. The C1000 lift runs on the lift track which is securely mounted to the ceiling structure of
the institution, or home with the use of ceiling brackets. The track itself is made of specially designed alumi-
num and comes in many different shapes, lengths and configurations, and is custom tailored and installed to
meet your specific requirements. The third component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that
attaches to the lift by means of a carry bar and straps, and holds an individual while the lift, positioning or
transfer takes place. Both the track and sling are generally supplied with the lift at the initial time of purchase.
Please refer to any user guides supplied with the C1000 lift and reference them while reviewing this manual.
The C1000 is a fixed ceiling lift, that is, it always remains on the lift track. It has the ability to lift an individu-
al up from one location such as bed, move the individual along the track to another location and
finally lower the individual into a chair or bath. It is moved along the track in one of two ways. The first is by
manually moving the lift along the track with the aid of a caregiver. The second is by having the lift power it-
self along the track. The functions of lifting up or down, or moving to the left or right, are accomplished by
pressing buttons of a pneumatically (air) operated hand control. The hand control is attached to the lift by way
of a rubber airline tubing. Due to the design of the lift system, it takes very little effort to press a button to per-
form the desired motion.
Please refer to figures 1A and 1B to see sample floor plans of an installed lift system. Refer to figures 2A and
2B to familiarize yourself with the components of the C1000 lift. Figures 3A and 3B show the underside view
of the lift as it would be seen by an operator.

Cautions

C1000 - User Guide (636155) Rev: 04 Nov 2019 Page: 7
Attaching the airline tube to the lift
Should the gray rubber airline that connects the lift to the hand
control become disengaged from the underside of the lift it must
be re-connected in order for the lift to work properly.
The rubber airline may become disconnected for the following
reasons:
1) The lift is pulled along the track by the airline.
2) The tubing accidentally gets wrapped around an object while
a lift or transfer is being performed.
3) It is accidentally pulled out by the caregiver or the individual
being lifted.
The airline is connected to a gray rubber grommet located on the
underside of the lift. Refer to figure 3A.
Small metal ribbed pins located at the end of the airline hold the
airline to this rubber grommet in a specific manner. Therefore it is
important to make sure that the airline is connected properly.
Both the grey airline and the rubber grommet have a grey rib on
one of their sides. Line up the grey ribs together. Refer to figure
3B. When this is done then the metal ribbed pins attached to the
end of the airline can be re-inserted into the corresponding holes
in the rubber grommet on the underside of the lift. Be sure to in-
sert the pins into the grey rubber grommet sufficiently so that it is
secure. Refer to figure 3C.
Perform a brief test to ensure proper connectivity. Turn the lift
ON and OFF. Raise and lower the carry bar. For motorized trav-
erse lifts move the lift left and then right. If these functions work
correctly then the airline is properly connected.
If the lift does not work properly, check to ensure that the grey
ribs on the grey rubber grommet on the underside of the lift and
the airline tubing are lined up properly. If they are not lined up
properly, then remove the airline, line up the grey lines and then
re-insert it into the rubber grommet. Perform the test as noted in
the preceding paragraph. If there are still problems with the lift
then contact your local authorized dealer for service.
Caution: A sturdy ladder may be required in order to access the underside of the lift to re-attach
the rubber airline of the lift. Caution should be used when this is required.
Should you have any concerns or questions contact your local authorized Handicare dealer.

The lift is normally parked at the charg-
ing station end of the track when not in
use. It can be moved along the track to a
position directly above the person to be
lifted in one of two ways.
If you have a manually traversing lift
lower the carry bar to a comfortable
height such that it can be easily grabbed
by your hand. Move the lift along the
track by gently pushing the carry bar, or
individual in the sling. Never pull the lift
along the track.
If you have a motorized traversing lift, use the blue or yellow colored
directional hand control buttons to move the lift. The blue and yellow
buttons correspond to the blue and yellow directional arrows on the un-
derside of the lift. The direction therefore that is taken is determined by
the color of the button that is pressed. This works the same no matter
what side of the lift a person is standing on.

Raising/lowering the carry bar
Operation
By pressing the DOWN arrow
button, or the UP arrow button,
the carry bar can be lowered/
raised to the correct height for
attaching the sling or position-
ing an individual. Refer to fig-
ure 5A and 5B
It is recommended that the care-
giver (operator) hold the carry
bar with one hand while this is
being done so that it will not
accidentally sway and/or come
into contact with an individual
or close object. These buttons
work the same on each model
of the lift.

Operation
Moving the “H” system traversing beam
If the installed track is an “H” system then this sec-
tion should be reviewed as it describes how to move
the traversing beam. If the installed track is not an
“H” system then this section can be skipped.
The “H” system involves the installation of two par-
allel support tracks and one traversing beam that is
mounted perpendicular to the two support tracks.
Refer to figure 7A. The benefit of this type of system
is that it provides greater movement and positioning
ability for an individual since the floor space cover-
age area is much larger than for a single piece of
track.
Besides the previously described UP/DOWN move-
ment of the carry bar, and LEFT/RIGHT movement
of the lift, the “H” system adds the ability to move
the traversing beam anywhere along the length of
the two parallel support tracks. Refer to figure 7A.
Figure 7A - Sample of “H” system room covering layout. Note that the
lift can be moved along the traversing beam, and that the traversing
beam itself can be moved along the two parallel support tracks.
The actual direction of travel when the hand control buttons are pressed
may be different than shown, since the track and lift orientation may be
different than installed. .
This can be accomplished in one of
two ways. If the installed “H” travers-
ing beam is manually traversing then
the beam is moved along the support
tracks by manually moving the beam,
lift, and individual in one motion. This
movement is the same as that used for
a manual traversing lift, as previously
described.
If the installed “H” system traversing
beam is motorized traversing then the
beam is moved along the support
tracks by pressing either the black or
white hand control button. Refer to
figure 7B. This will move the beam in the direction of travel as noted by the
black [▼] and white arrows [▲]located on the underside of the lift. Refer to fig-
ure 7C.

Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the traversing beam. Watch out for
and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or
damage to the lift/track.

If your motorized, traversing lift has a return-to-charge feature (RTC),
pressing & holding the blue and yellow colored directional hand control
buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds (to produce beeping noise) will
automatically retract the lift’s carry bar and drive the lift along its track
until it docks at the charger.
C-1000’s is equipped with new weight sensitive adaptive return-to-
charge feature, which offers added protection during RTC movement.
The salient features of new “Load Sensitive RTC” are as under
1) If user/operator may have accidentally enabled RTC while a patient is
in the lift , the RTC function will stop automatically by sensing ex-
cess load on the lift during RTC. The overload threshold is between
40-70 lbs.
2) During RTC , if lift carry bar accidentally gets tangled with obsta-
cles , Furniture , drapery etc., the lift will automatically detect the
change in the load and if any variation of more than 15-30 Lbs. is de-
tected the lift will stop automatically.
Note:- RTC feature can always be interrupted manually by either
pressing any buttons on the hand control or by holding the carry bar
firmly.
Note that the RTC feature has several characteristics that may be altered
to the user’s preference:
RTC Max. Time may be set anywhere from 60 sec to 240 sec in 60 sec
increments and represents the maximum time allowed for the lift to travel
to and dock at the charger before aborting the operation.
RTC Drop Time may be set anywhere from 3 sec to 24 sec in 3 sec incre-
ments and represents the time the lift devotes to lowering the carry bar
upon docking at the charger.
RTC Speed may be set to 2, 4, 6 or 8 and represents the relative speed the
lift travels at to reach the charger.
Contact your Service Technician to change these settings.
Return To Charge (If Equipped)
Figure 8D - Press & Hold the blue and
yellow color hand control buttons simul-
taneously to activate the RTC feature.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the traversing beam. Watch out for
and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or
damage to the lift/track.
Caution: Always ensure the carry bar is attached to the lift before activating RTC
function. The added weight of the carry bar is required to ensure correct working of
limit switches. Failure to have carry bar attached can result in limit switch error , refer
to “Troubleshooting” Section at page 25 for recommended solution.

Basics in transferring an individual
Caution: Always check to ensure that the lift is correctly positioned directly above the per-
son to be lifted. Over time, the lift strap may fray if this is not followed.
Caution: Always make sure that the sling is correctly fitted and adjusted on each side of the
individual so that maximum comfort and safety are achieved prior to lifting.
Step 1) Move the lift away from the char ging station or cur rent location and close to the individual that
is to be transferred. Use the procedures for up and down and moving along the track as described in the sec-
tions titled, “Raising/lowering the lift” and “Moving the lift along the track”.
Step 3) Once the individual has been outfitted with the sling, move the lift so that it is positioned directly
over the individual. Lower the carry bar to a height so that the straps of the sling can be easily attached to the
carry bar.
Caution: The following steps are intended to generally illustrate the procedure involved in the lifting
and transferring of an individual from one location to another using the lift, track and sling. Track con-
figurations will vary by installation.
The manual for the sling that was purchased with the lift should be reviewed in detail prior to attempt-
ing these steps, as the sling illustrated here may not be the same as the one that was purchased.
Contact your local authorized Handicare dealer if you have any questions or concerns.
Step 2) Prepare the individual being transferred with the appropriate sling. Refer to the instructions
supplied with the sling that was purchased on how to properly outfit an individual with a sling.
Caution: Always use extreme care when moving the lift along the track. Watch out for and
avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual in the sling, or damage to the
lift/track.
Caution: Check to ensure that the carry bar has no cuts, dents or sharp edges that may
come in contact with the straps of the sling and cause damage to them. Report any concerns to
your local authorized dealer.

Basics in transferring an individual … continued
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual make sure that the straps of the sling are securely
placed on the hooks of the carry bar and that the straps will not come off.
Step 4) Attach the straps of the sling to the hooks of the car ry bar . The str aps on each side of the sling
are generally attached to the corresponding side of the carry bar. Be sure to double check to ensure that the
straps are properly attached to the carry bar, and that the individual being lifted is properly positioned in the
sling prior to lifting.
Caution: There is a risk for the strap to disengage from the hook, if a sling loop is allowed to
rotate and rest on the top of the hook(s). Please check to ensure that the loops are on the hook
not resting in the hook. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious injury or
death.
For your safety and the safety of the patient, please always ensure that the sling loops are correctly
positioned on the carry bar hooks. It is suggested to do the check of the sling loops once there is
tension to the sling loops, but prior to completely lifting the patient.
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual ensure the hand control cord is free of the carry bar
hooks.
Sling loop correctly positioned
at the base of the carry bar
hook.

Basics in transferring an individual … continued
Caution: Prior to removing the straps of the sling from the carry bar be sure to check that
the individual being lifted is securely supported in the final desired position.
Step 8) Lower the car ry bar sufficiently to allow the straps of the sling to be easily removed fr om the
carry bar. Take care not to let the carry bar come in contact with the individual in the sling. The straps from the
sling can now be removed from the carry bar. The carry bar of the lift should then be raised sufficiently and
the lift moved away from the immediate area so that it will not interfere with the removal of the sling from the
individual.
Step 7) Once at the desired location the individual in the sling can be lowered/raised to the cor r ect
height in order to complete the transfer. On completion of lowering/raising ensure that the individual is proper-
ly positioned and safely supported prior to removing the straps of the lift from the carry bar.
Step 6) Once at the cor rect height the individual can be moved along the track to the desir ed location.
Refer to the sections already described in this manual on how to move the lift along the track
Step 10) The lift can now be moved to a safe location until fur ther use, or r elocated to its' original loca-
tion. The lift should be turned off when not in use. It is recommended that the lift be left on charge when not
in operation. Refer to the section titled, “Charging the lift” for instructions on charging.
Step 9 ) The sling can now be gently r emoved fr om the individual. It should then be stored in a safe
place for future use.
Optional Hand Control Hook
Your lift has come with an optional Hand Control Hook. This Hand Control Hook can be installed onto the
Hand Control using the self tapping screws provided with the plastic hook. On the back of the Hand Control
there will be 2 small pilot holes where the self tapping screws should be screwed into. See figure 9A for a
Hand Control with the Plastic Hook already assembled. Figure 9B demonstrates the use of the plastic hook
with your lift.
Figure 9A - Hand Control with Hook Figure 9B - Suggested use
Step 5) The individual may now be raised with the use of the UP button on the hand control. While lift-
ing is in progress the height required in order for the transfer to be completed safely should be closely ob-

C1000 TANDEM BARIATRIC SYSTEM
In cases where a client’s weight, size or medical condition requires precise control when transferring or
re-positioning, The C-1000 Tandem Bariatric Lift provides a safe and reliable solution.
The transfer or re-positioning of Bariatric clients can be difficult. A single track can push the legs of a
Bariatric client toward the torso, decreasing the hip angle, and compressing the upper body. This can
cause discomfort and, in some cases compromise breathing.
Mounted on dual ceiling tracks running parallel to each other, each track fitted with its own inde-
pendently-operated motor, the C-1000 Tandem Bariatric system allows a caregiver to separately lift tor-
so and legs. This allows the caregiver to keep the angle between the torso and femur open - sometimes
difficult to achieve using a single-motor lift system. Precise body positioning, whether seated or recum-
bent, is possible with the C-1000 Tandem Bariatric System providing maximum flexibility and comfort.
Caution: The C-1000 Tandem Bariatric system requires more staff co-ordination be-
cause of its dual motor system. Each lift has its own hand control and its operated inde-
pendently often requiring two staff members acting as a team.

Charging the lift
The light will turn ORANGE on the lift control
panel and a slow beeping audible alarm will sound
if the batteries are low and require charging. The
display screen will also indicate low battery.
Complete the transfer that is in progress and then
move lift to the end of the track where the charger
is located.
Following the ORANGE indicator, the light will
turn RED on the lift control panel and a fast beep-
ing audible alarm will sound indicating the batter-
ies are fully discharged and require charging. The
display screen will also indicate low battery.
When the battery is discharged the UP function
will be disabled. The DOWN and EMERGENCY
DOWN function along with X-Y TRAVERSING
will continue to operate.
Caution: Use only the Soneil charger that was supplied with the lift or with Mascot 9940 charger. Use
of any other charger will void all warranties and may cause damage to the lift.
Figure 10A - Underside of lift showing RED dis-
charged battery indicator light and audible alarm
beeping every 10 seconds.
The charger contacts with two metal charging strips that run along the inside of the track.
Whenever the lift is over a section of track with charging strips it will automatically start to charge
the lift if its battery is low.
The batteries should be charged on a regular basis. It is recommended that the lift be left on charge
when not in operation, and at the end of each day. This will maximize the life cycle of the batteries
The lift may remain connected to the charger indefinitely since the charger has a built-in regulator,
eliminating the danger of overcharging.
As a general rule it is recommended that the carry bar be raised to a height so that it will not
interfere with anything or anyone while the unit is not in use.

In addition to the indicator lights on the lift, the
charger has an indicator light as well. When
ORANGE, it indicates that the that the lift is on
the charger and charging. Refer to figure 9A.
When the lift is fully charged light on the
charger will change to GREEN.
Note: In some circumstances it may be neces-
sary to mount the charger out of view.
Figure 11A - Charger with ORANGE light indicating that
the lift is connected and charging. When the lift is fully
charged this light will turn GREEN.
Constant Charger
The constant charger system has two metal
roller bearings (Figure 11B & C) that contact
charging strips that run along the inside of the
track. When the lift is over a section of track
with charging strips it will automatically start to
charge and the light be ORANGE.
Note: Constant charge units don’t turn off,
since they are constantly connected to the
charger.
The Constant Charger can be attached to all
operating C-1000 lifts. The batteries can
remain connected to the charger indefinitely,
since the charger has a built-in regulator, the
danger of overcharging is eliminated.
