Battery
Always ensure that baery is suciently charged
before using this li. The baery will not charge if
the emergency stop is engaged.
The baery in this device is located in the module
along with the control box.
These batteries have a tamper proof seal that is
located on the battery to make it easier to see if
the battery has been tampered/replaced by a non-
authorized person. This seal should be replaced
after battery replacement.
Changing the Battery
Remove all external cables
from the control box. Remove
from frame.
On the back side of the
module, unscrew and remove
the 7 torx screws on the rear
of the control box/battery
module to open.
Disconnect the battery
connectors and remove the
old batteries.
Insert the new batteries in
the same direction as the old
batteries, with the connectors
at the top and connect (Note:
+= red, - = black). Be careful
not to bend the connectors.
Do not cover the holes.
Ensure that none of the
wires are squeezed or caught
when reinstalling the cover.
Ensure the mains is not
connected.
Ensure that the silicone string
is in place and properly fitted
before reinstalling the cover.
Replace seal if necessary.
The silicone string separates the battery from the
electronics and must not be damaged or modified
as it will allow penetration of battery gas into the
electronics components with risk of explosion. Do
not use if this seal is damaged in any way.
Charging the Battery
The battery should be charged minimum 8 hours
before used for the first time.

ENGLISH
www.humancaregroup.com 11
Connect the power cord
to the mains to charge
the battery. Make sure to
disengage the emergency
stop located at the side of the
control box.
It is recommended that the baeries are charged
at minimum once per week (depending on use).
Regular charging prevents problems and extends the
life of the baery.
Battery Lifespan
The number of liing movements that can be made
with a fully charged baery depends on the duraon
of the operaon, the frequency of use, the paent
weight and the age and condion of the baery.
A baery that has not been used for a long period of
me will slowly drain. It is recommended that the
baery is replaced every four years. These batteries
have an anticipated lifespan of 2 to 4 years
depending on usage.
Lifting Motor
The Levanto is equipped with a very fast, low-
noise and robust motor that is designed with a ball
circulaon spindle, limit switches and automac
electric shut o in the event that the paent has
come in contact with the arm or is sinking.
The motor is connected to the control box and
allows the raising and lowering operaon of the arm
and the opening and closing operaon of the legs.
The liing operaons are performed with either the
hand control (which is also connected to the control
box) or from the control box itself.
Adjusng the legs
Always ensure there is sucient space to spread the
legs. If the legs get stuck, this can cause damage to
the li or the surroundings.
To increase leg width, press
on the open buon on the
hand control unl desired
spread is achieved.
To decrease leg width, press
on the close buon on the
hand control unl desired
spread is achieved.
The Levanto can be used with the legs in the wide
or narrow posion. The choice between which
posion to use depends on the necessity and
available space.

12 www.humancaregroup.com
Adjusng the arms
Take care when lowering or raising the arm not to
hit the paent.
To raise the arm, press on
the up arrow buon. To
lower, press on the down
arrow buon. Release to
stop.
Wheels
The Levanto wheels have a very low resistance
to rolling due the integrated ball bearings at the
turning point.
To brake, press down on
the red brake lever. To
release, kick up the brake
lever.
In order to ensure smooth
movement, ensure the
brake is in the unlocked
posion line up the wheels
with the chassis and the
direcon of travel.
Footplate
The footplate is removable for hygiene control.
To remove, li footplate up
to clean.
Clean with a household
cleaning agent or an
alcohol-based detergent
with a maximum rao of
5% alcohol.
Shin Supports
The angle of the shin supports automacally
adjusts as the mast raises. The shin pads are
adjustable with a handle.
Ensure the shin pads are
approximately 2cm/0.8”
below the paent’s knee
and the front of the leg
touches the shin pad
without space.
Clean with a household
cleaning agent or an
alcohol-based detergent
with a maximum rao of
5% alcohol.
