3.3.2 Unlocking of the actuator cable plug
Unlock with a screw-driver (as shown here), leaning in the notch. In the
same time, turn the ring from the left to the right to unlock the plug.
4. USE
4.1. FIRST USE
Even if battery box is immediately ready to run as it is charged when delivered, make sure the hoist
installation has been strictly done as shown on paragraph 3. Test it off load first to get used to it.
3/ Grip the notches and turn
the ring from left to the right.
The cable is locked when the
ring is turned to 90°.
1/ The 3 notches of this
ring show that the griping
device of the cable plug is
unlocked.
2/ Put the cable plug in
position and lean on it
to plunge into the
lodging.

4.2. LIFTY5 USE
4.2.1 Sling installation and operating :
Reminder: Sling is adjustable. User is responsible for adjusting it in order to not hurt the patient. Lifty5 hoist is
delivered with a 20041 sling. See the user instruction bellow.
1/ Put the back of the sling (largest part of the sling) on the patient back in order to have the 2 hanging-up
straps on both sides of the patient.
2/ Hang up each hanging-up strap to the beam hooks (A1 and B2)
3/ Softly lift up the patient right thigh to put the right thigh support underneath.
4/ Softly lift up the patient left thigh to put the left thigh support underneath.
5/ Cross the two thigh support sling.
6/ Hang up each strap to the beam hooks (C3 and D4)
→You can adjust the patient tilt with the different hanging-up holes. Make sure to always hang-up the
A and B straps at the same hole level (same colour). Act the same way for C and D straps.
Cautions :
- This sling is designed for HMS-VILGO hoists only.
- Always hang-up the 4 straps at the same level.
- Never adjust straps while the hoist is running.
- Always make sure that straps are well-attached on the beam before lifting the patient up.
- Never exceed the maximum running load.
4.2.2 Transferring the patient:
1/ Set the hoist in a way that the beam stands above the patient (if
necessary, open or close side foot to get closer to the patient).
2/ Lock brakes
3/ Set the sling
4/ Push up button of the remote control to lift the support beam (make
sure the strap does not get stuck and does not hurt the patient while lifting him).
5/ Unlock brakes to transfer the patient.
6/ Lock brakes again when transfer done.
7/ Push down button of the remote control to go down

4.3. SAFETY
crushing safety: Lifty5 runs with a single-acting actuator. Any obstacle on its way will automatically stop its
going-down.
Emergency stop : the Lifty5 emergency stop button is located on the control box.
Push it to stop the lifting or going-down. Push it again to unlock it.
Electric safety : lifting and going-down are locked when Lifty5 is connected to charge battery.
Alarm : a red led lights on when the actuator is running while battery is low.
Emergency going-down (only use when patient is stuck above and that it is impossible to go down using the
remote control): There are two actuator release systems:
1/ Electrical release :
To go down, push the blue switch located under the emergency stop.
2/ Manual release :
Push down (1) and turn to the right (2) the red ring of the actuator.
This function can be used if the electrical system is not efficient.
4.4. CONTROL BOX OPERATING, BATTERY CHARGE :
If the charging level is too weak, an alarm sounds (in a constant way) when the control box is activated. The
charging of the battery is then necessary.
The control box has its own integrated charger. To charge batteries, connect the control box to the 220 VAC
main power line, until the green led turn on indicating batteries are charged (approximately 12 hours).
A third person must assist the patient during the
entire emergency going-down process.
The Lifty 6 must be connected to a network which is in accordance with the NFC 15-100
and NFC 15-211 ( 230 V Electric plug + ground connection) for France and CEI 364 for
other destinations.
Make sure that the power supply of the control box (you can find it on the label), is in
accordance with the establishment power supply.
It is advisable to connect the device on a power fitting protected by a differential circuit
breaker of 30 mA Maximum, in accordance with the CEI 364-5-53 publication.

Main cable connection
Warning, the loading of the batteries works only if the emergency button is out of power (put it on the position
‘on’ to load the batteries).
To make batteries last longer, they must be recharged every night.
4.5. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not expose to moisture.
Store in a temperate dry place (5°C to 40°C).
Charge battery before using it after a long time off.
Handling and stocking of the lift has to be done in order to avoid any impact, falling or damage of the material
5. LIFTY5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Sling :
Check the sling by looking at its seams condition: immediately replace a sling that starts to show any tear.
Electrical parts:
Test the emergency stop switch while lifting and lowering the support beam.
Look at the electrical cables cover.
Test crushing safety system by placing an item on the support beam going-down way.
Chassis :
Check the brake of the back wheels.
Look at the global geometry on the Lifty5 (no bent item).
Make sure that the 4 wheels are well positioned on the ground.
Make sure that there is no play between the support beam and the pole.
Strap cleaning instructions:
