MANUAL
SystemRoMedicTM
English
MiniLift160 is a mobile sit-to-stand lift which has been developed to, as gently as possible, assist the user when rising
from a sitting to a standing position. When MiniLift160 is combined with the appropriate lifting accessories, the user gets
support under the feet, for the front of the lower legs and behind the back, which provides for a safe and secure
sit-to-stand procedure. The construction safely moves the user forwards and upwards in a natural movement pattern
and, at the same time, the leg muscles and balance is exercised. MiniLift160 is available in four variants with electrical
(EE) or manual (EM) base widening and with standard height or low legs for use with lower beds. All variants are
manufactured in steel for stability and strength and are suitable for users weighing up to 160 kg/350 lbs.

Instructions for use
These instructions must be followed for correct use of MiniLift160.
Caution
The actuator does not lower the lift arm when the lift is being lowered. This reduces the risk of the user being pinched by
the lift arm. To prevent the lift arm from at first catching, and then suddenly fal the lift arm must be loaded throughout the
entire lowering procedure, so that it is always supported by the actuator.
Hand control functions
The hand control has four functions: up and down (lift arm), out and in (base width).
Two functions cannot be used at the same time.
NOTE: The hand control functions do not operate if the emergency stop button is activated
NOTE: MiniLift160 is not intended for transporting users. It may only be used for short transfers.
Caution Never move the lift by pulling on the actuator.
Caution Ensure that the user’s feet do not get caught between the footplate and the floor. Ensure that the user’s feet do
not get caught between the footplate and the base when adjusting the base width.

MANUAL
SystemRoMedicTM
Using MiniLift160
Place an appropriately sized ThoraxSling behind and below the user’s hips,
(see user manual for ThoraxSling). (1)
When the user has placed his/her feet on the footplate, move the lift forward
towards the user. Place the lift as close as possible to the user. Take care to
ensure that the user’s shins are resting securely against the leg support, and
then adjust (2) the leg support so that it does not press against the user’s
kneecaps (about 2 cm lower). (3)
Raise the locking handle (4) on the lift arm and pull the lift arm out as far as
possible towards the user.
Select the sling loop that reaches the hook on the boom (shortest loop

standing with both feet on the footplate and is grasping the sling bar handles with
both hands to avoid being pinched between the slingbar and lift loops. (7)
