Product Description
Caution triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention.
FreeStand is a freestanding lift system that is intended
for use where there is need for lifting in a specic loca-
tion, e.g., near a bed or in a hygiene room, etc.
Freestanding systems are a good alternative if you
need the features of a xed-installation overhead lift
system but do not wish to install permanent xtures
in the walls or ceiling, or if the need for lifting is only
temporary.
With its simple and safe structural design, the Free-
Stand lift system is ideal for home-care and other care
settings.
Since FreeStand requires no wall or ceiling xtures,
it enables great exibility of placement in the room.
The width of the FreeStand rail system depends on
the choice of lift rail length. The lift rail (H100) is avai-
lable in 7 different lengths: from 2.0 m (79 inch.) up
to 3.2 m (126 inch.).
For a complete lift system, FreeStand is combined
with lift rail H100, a lift unit, parking set and other
accessories.
With the FreeStand lift system, Liko’s stationary lifts
Multirall or Likorall are used.
FreeStand complies with EN ISO 10535 according to
the requirements of directives for medical- technical
products, MDD 93/42/EEC.
In this document, the person being transferred is referred to as the patient and the person helping them is
referred to as the caregiver.

Mounting the Charger and Parking Set
A battery charger for Likorall and Multirall is available as an accessory. The charger is afxed to the inner side of
one of the upright supports using the pre-mounted double-adhesive tape (see instructions, below).
Remove the protective lm from the double-adhesive
tape (on the inner side of one of the upright supports).
Carefully place the charger over the tape, so that the
edges are aligned. Apply pressure. For best results,
allow the tape to bond for 24 hours before using the
charger.
Mounting a Likorall Lift Unit
Guide the other rail carrier onto the lift unit’s mounting
rail and align it with the outermost hole. Use the nut and
bolt provided to secure the rail carrier to lift unit via the
outermost hole in the mounting rail on the top of the lift
unit.
Loosen and remove the nuts and bolts from the rail
carriers. Guide the lift unit onto one of the rail carriers.
Use the nut and bolt provided to secure the rail carrier
to lift unit via the outermost hole in the mounting rail
on the top of the lift unit.
Remove the protective lm from the
double-adhesive tape on the parking
bracket.
The parking bracket should be positioned
so that the distance between the upper
edge of the charger and the lower edge
of the parking bracket is at least 15 cm
(5.9 inch.).
Apply the protective wear-guard
foil behind the parking hook, as
illustrated.
Afx the parking bracket to the
upright support with the hook
facing upward. For best results,
allow the tape to bond for 24
hours before using the parking
hook.

Operation
During lifting and transfer, FreeStand should be positioned so that the rail is always centred as much as possible
directly above the centre of gravity. Lifting in a skewed direction has a negative effect on stability. This means that
when lifting e.g., from a bed, the rail should be centred directly over the bed. This applies both when lifting from
the bed to the bedside and to a location below the foot of the bed.
Now the charger and parking hook are ready for use.
• Charger connected to
power supply
• Charging in progress
• Not charging
Use of Support Arms
The support arms are used to stabilize FreeStand
against the walls. This is not normally necessary, since
FreeStand will not tip, even without support arms. To
ensure optimal function, the protruding ends of the
arms must be ush with the wall surface. If there is a
gap between the support arm and the wall, there may
be a risk of the support arm chang against the wall,
thus damaging the paint or wallpaper. Each support
arm may only protrude at most 855 mm (33 inch.).
The red marking on each support arm must not be
visible after assembly (see illustration).

Disassembly
1. Unscrew bolts and nuts from the rail carriers. 2. Grasp the lift unit and slide off the rail carriers. Lift
off the lift unit.
3. Remove the cover caps from the screws on the
corner/locking rail and stop bolt on one end of
the rail.
4. Remove the stop bolt.
5. Loosen the screws on the top of the corner and
locking rail (1, 2 and 3).
We recommend that the charger and parking bracket be left on the upright support. If these are removed, the tape
will lose its adhesiveness, making it difcult to re-mount them.
End stops and rail carriers can be left on the rail.
We recommend that the bases be left on the upright supports. Should it be necessary to remove the bases, for
example, for transport, simply remove the screws from the bases and separate them from the upright supports
(4 screws per upright).

6. Pull out the support arm.
7. Separate the rail from the upright support.
Lay the rail end and the loose upright sup-
port on a stable underlying surface. Repeat
steps 3 to 7 at the other end of the rail.
Recommendations for Disassembly

To ensure trouble-free operation, certain details should be inspected each day the lift system is used.
• Check the lift system for any signs of external damage.
• Check rail carrier function.
• Check, where applicable, Quick-release Hook safety function.
• Ensure that all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
When necessary, clean the lift system regularly using a damp cloth. NOTE! Do not use cleaning agents that
contain phenol or chlorine, since these can damage aluminium and polyamide material.
Inspection
FreeStand should undergo thorough inspection for wear at least once per year.
Inspection must be performed according to the Liko service manual and by authorized personnel.
IMPORTANT!
Repairs and maintenance may only be carried out by authorized Liko service personnel using original Liko spare
parts.
Storage
The lift system must be stored at a temperature above the freezing point and at normal relative humidity (not
exceeding 60%).
