Installation
Unpacking and check
With RiseAtlas, the following is included in the package:
1 RiseAtlas lift unit
1 Hand control
2 Manuals - User manual, Assembly instructions for fuse
1 Charger station
1 Manual emergency lowering key
Check to ensure that no components are left in the packaging.
Inspect the lift unit for signs of damage.
Installing the lift unit
NOTE! The lift unit and carriage must be installed and inspected by authorized personnel according to instructions issued
by Handicare. Periodic inspection must be performed at least once yearly. Use only original spare parts. Service and
maintenance must be performed according to instructions in the user manual.
The lift must be charged for at least 3 hours before it is used for the first time. The lift unit is shipped with the fuse
removed. Prior to installation the cover is removed and a 20A fuse is inserted. The fuse is packed in a bag. As standard,
the lift is factory pre-set for charging at a charger station. When installing the lift unit for in-rail charging on the rail system,
the system must be fitted with charger rails. Exercise caution when installing the lift unit, so that the charger wheels do
not come in contact with the rail, since this may cause short-circuiting. Incorrect installation may cause short-circuiting
and damage the charger.
Alteration of the charging method must be performed by authorized
personnel according to instructions issued by Handicare.
Transport and storage
Before shipping, the fuse is removed to prevent battery discharge during transport or long-term storage.
Install the fuse in the lift unit according to the accompanying instructions.

180 cm
Emergency Stop Strap
When the lift is correctly installed in the trolley system, the emergency
stop strap needs to be adjusted. The emergency stop strap is cut at a
height where the strap doesn´t interfere with a normal lifting situation but
at the same time is easily reached by all users.
The strap is cut with scissors and singed at the end as to prevent unravel.
Handicare recommends a height of 180 cm/70 inches above the floor.
Assembly of charger unit
The following is included in the charger station package:
• Holder
• Charger cup
Charger cable (EU, UK, US connectors included)
(fixtures between charger station and wall/freestanding rail not included)
Charger station
a) Secure holder to charger station on wall/freestanding rail system. Recommended height
is 110-120 cm from floor.
b) Mount the charger cable. If necessary mount the cover for the charger.
c) Connect the accompanying hand control to the charger station and the hand control
cable to the lift unit. Check charger function.
4USER MANUAL SystemRoMedicTM

Charging the lift unit
RiseAtlas can be used with three different charging systems:
1. Charger station for charging via hand control (Standard)
2. In-rail charging (Accessory)
3. End-point charging (Accessory)
RiseAtlas is charged with a charger unit that is connected to the charger cables via a DC outlet. The charger should be
kept in an appropriate location. Note that the charger is a separate unit and can be easily mistaken for another charger.
Ensure that the correct charger is used, see Technical information. For assembly instructions, see Assembly of charger unit.
1) The lift unit is charged via a wall-mounted charger station. Place the hand
control in the charger station. The charging lamp on the lift unit indicates charging
for 15 minutes after being activated. Charging continues until the battery is fully
charged.
2) For in-rail charging, the lift unit is always kept charged, which means that it can
be left anywhere on the rail and will charge automatically.
3) For end-point charging, the lift unit is placed at the charger station at the end
of the rail. If the rail system is of the traverse type, the secondary rail is placed at
the end of the primary rail at which the charger station is located. Check to ensure
that the battery symbol on the lift unit lights up.

Alternative 2: In-rail charging (Accessory)
If the in-rail charging option is chosen, the lift unit must be fitted with a charger contact (70200062) and charger rails
before installation. The charger that is included with the lift unit is used.
Alteration of the charging method must be performed by authorized
personnel according to instructions issued by Handicare.
1) Set the charging points for in-rail charging; the charger plate is not secured with the spring pins, see figure 1. To set
the charging points for in-rail charging, remove the spring pins that hold the charger plate in place. Then, the dip switch
on the circuit board is set for the desired charging function.
2) Check to ensure that the charger plate springs in and out when pressure is applied to the charger plate, see
figure 2.
3) Check to ensure that charger rails have been installed (installation of charger rails is described in the installation
manual for MilkyWay).
4) Guide the lift unit onto the rail so that the plus on the charging point is on the right side, according to figure 3.
5) Connect the red cable to the charger rail on the right side, the charger plate’s plus side (positive), and the black cable
on the left side (negative), according to figure 4.
