Charging the lift unit
RiseAtlas can be used with three different charging systems:
1. Charger station for charging via hand control (Standard version for 50100057)
2. In-rail charging (Accessory for 50100057)
3. End-point charging (Standard version for 50100051, accessory for 50100057)
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.

Safe working load
SWL:
Different products on the same lift system (lift unit, sling and other lifting accessories) may have different allowable safe
working loads. The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the assembled
system. Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if you have any
questions.
Description of functions and symbols
RiseAtlas has many built-in functions. Each function is described in the respective section in the manual, or in the

Hand control
Connection of hand control to lift unit:
The outlet for the hand control is under if the lift unit, fig 1. Press the
plug in securely.
Raising/lowering
The buttons with the black arrows raise and lower the lift strap.
Raising/lowering is interrupted as soon as pressure on the buttons is
released, fig 2.
ON/OFF via hand control
The green (ON) button is for activating the lift unit and a button for
switching it off (OFF), fig 3. The lift unit switches off automatically after
15 minutes of inactivity. Normally, the lift must be activated via the
green (ON) button before use.
Activate/start the lift unit
The lift is switched on via the green (ON) button on the hand control.
A battery symbol lights up for about 2 seconds to indicate battery status.
If the lamp does not light, check to ensure that the emergency stop is not
activated.
Active safety
RiseAtlas has a built-in strap guard which prevents the lift from being
manoeuvred up or down unless the lift is loaded with at least 2 kg. The
purpose of this safety feature is to prevent the strap from being run in
and out without load, which may lead to shorter drops when the lift is
subsequently used.
The built-in strap guard RiseAtlas stops automatically when the lift strap is
not loaded e.g., when the slingbar is lowered to a bed. If this happens, the
strap must be stretched in order to be run down or up.
If the lift strap becomes twisted during lifting, RiseAtlas switches off auto-
matically and can only be run down.
To save battery charge, the lift unit switches off automatically after about
15 minutes of inactivity.

MANUAL

Maintenance
The lift must undergo thorough inspection at least once per year. Inspection must be performed by authorized personnel
and in accordance with Handicare’s service manual. Repairs and maintenance may only be done by authorized
personnel using original spare parts.
Spent batteries are to be left at the nearest recycling station. Spent batteries can also be returned to
Handicare or a Handicare dealer for recycling.
Cleaning/disinfection
Clean the lift with warm water or rubbing alcohol. Do not use cleaning agents containing phenol or chlorine, as this may
damage the material.
Storage
To ensure maximum battery life, charge regularly. We recommend that the charger is plugged into the lift unit when not
in use. Do not allow battery charge to fall below 25%. Store the lift at a temperature above freezing point, 10 ˚C to 40 ˚C,
not exceeding normal relative humidity 30 % to 75%. The air pressure shall be between 700 and 1060hPa.
