Hillrom Liko FreeSpan SR Manual

Product Description
FreeSpan SR is a freestanding lift system that is inten-
ded for use with Liko’s Multirall or Likorall lift units. It
consists of three main components that can be assem-
bled without tools. The lift motor is mounted in the pre-
tted carriage.
FreeSpan is adjustable to four different heights and
is available in 8 different rail lengths, giving it a width
range of 2 to 5.5 metres (6' 8" - 18' 4").
Equipped with locking handles on the rail, FreeSpan
can be widened a further 225 mm (8.9 in.) in each
corner.
FreeSpan can be lowered to the transport position
(1700 mm/66.9 in.) to simplify mounting of the lift unit
and/or moving the lift system to another room.
FreeSpan SR has lockable pivoting wheels, is made
of aluminium, and despite its light weight, it is extre-
mely stable.
FreeSpan complies with EN ISO 10535 and the medi-
cal devices directive MDD 93/42/EEC.

1. Fit the rail to one of the side supports, as in
the illustration. Make sure the handle is facing
outward. Mount the upper locking handle that
holds the rail to the side support, and tighten.
Note that the upper locking handles lock
the rail to the side supports and may only be
used when assembling or disassembling
FreeSpan, not when adjusting the heights!
2. Repeat the above procedure with the other side
support. Make sure the handles are aligned
lengthwise with the side supports.
3.
Adjustment of overall width
If you need to adjust the width of Freespan:
Loosen the locking handles on top of the rail and
pull the side supports out to the desired width
(max 225 mm/8.9 in. wider in each corner).
Tighten the locking handles.
NOTE! The locking handles for adjusting
corners must not be dismounted from the
rail.
Before assembly, ensure that the side supports are locked in their lowest position and that the upper locking hand-
les have been removed from both side supports.
Unscrew the bolt and nut that is mounted in the car-
riage. Slide the lift unit onto the longer carriage with
the emergency stop end in the opposite direction as
the carriage brake knob, as in the illustration above.
Afx the carriage in the outermost hole in the moun-
ting rail above the lift unit using the accompanying
bolt and nut.
Mounting Likorall lift unit
Then, slide on the shorter carriage from the other
direction. Afx the carriage in the outermost hole in
the mounting rail above the lift unit using the accom-
panying bolt and nut.
4. Mount the lift unit in the pre-mounted carriage. Note that FreeSpan is delivered with a carriage specic for
either Likorall or Multirall lift units. Follow the instructions, below. For mounting with Multirall, see the instruc-
tion in the Multirall instruction guide.
Read the instruction guide for the lift unit you are using!
Assembly Instructions
Before assembly, check that the following components are included:
• Rail with corners, end-stops, carriage and
locking handles
• 2 pcs K6S M4x10 screw
• Side support (2 pcs) with wheels, handles,
locking handles, parking bracket and
charger plate

5. Now FreeSpan is ready to be raised to the correct height. There are four different height positions.
Note that the lift unit slides freely on the rail. Therefore, move the lift unit away from the
 sidesupportthatyouintendtoraiserst.
Start by removing the lower locking handle. Lift the handle to the desired rail height (max total height
2550 mm/100.4 in.). Insert the locking handle in the appropriate hole and tighten. Repeat this proce-
dure with the other side support.
The battery charger for Likorall and Multirall can be mounted on the charger plate, which is placed on the side
support.
Mounting the charger
Hook on the lower part of the charger on the pre-
mounted charger plate (as illustrated).
Fasten the charger on the charger plate with the
two accompanying screws (K6S M4x10).
Now the charger is ready for use.
• The charger is
connected to the
power supply
• Charging is in
progress
• No function

User's Guide
Moving FreeSpan
FreeSpan can be moved when fully assembled with the lift unit, though not with the patient in the lift. Release
wheel locks and move FreeSpan to the desired location. If the lift is to be moved from one room to another and the
door opening is too low, FreeSpan can be lowered to its transport position (1700 mm/66.9 in.). We recommend that
two people move the lift system.
A) Start by moving the lift unit to the side that
is to be lowered rst. Loosen the locking
handle, remove it and lower the side support
to the lowest position. Hold the handle rmly
to maintain a secure grip.
B-C) Repeat this procedure with the other side support.
During use and during lifting operations, FreeSpan should be positioned so that the rail always is directly over the
patient's centre of gravity. Lifting at any angle away from the rail will affect stability negatively. In the case of lifting
a patient from a bed, this means that the rail should be aligned directly over the bed. This applies both to transfers
from the bed to the bedside and to a position near the foot of the bed.
Helpful hint. Where door openings are narrower than
1240 mm (48.9 in.), move the lift according to the illus-
tration above (zigzag).
Locking Wheels
FreeSpan’s wheels can be locked, if necessary. To
lock wheels, step on the foot brake. Release the lock
by pressing the lever up.

For safe and trouble-free operation, a few routine procedures should be performed every day the lift system is
used:
• Visually inspect the lift system and check for external damage or wear.
• Check the carriage function.
• Check possible Quick Release Hook safety-catch function.
• Ensure that locking handles are securely tightened.
Clean the lift regulary by wiping it with a damp cloth or waterbased surface disinfectants. NOTE! Avoid regular
use of cleaning agents that contain phenol or chlorine, since these can damage aluminium and polyamide
material.
Inspection
FreeSpan must be inspected at least once per year. Pay particular attention to parts that are subject to wear.
Inspection must be performed according to the Liko service manual and by authorized personnel.
IMPORTANT
Repairs and maintenance may only be done by authorized Liko personnel using original spare parts.
Storage
The lift system must be stored at a temperature above the freezing point and at normal relative humidity (not
exceeding 60%).
Service agreements
Liko invites you to sign a service agreement for regular maintenance and testing of your lift system.
