Important advice &
precautions
• Read the entire manual prior to using the AirRise260™
• The AirRise260’s weight limit should never be exceeded
• The AirRise260™should only ever be used to hoist one client
• The AirRise260™should not be used where there is a risk of it being splashed with
water
• If a defect appears prior to, during or after use the Innova™ team must be contacted for
repairs and servicing
• The emergency pull cord must not be removed
• If accessories are rated with a lower weight limit than 200kg, this determines the
AirRise260’s maximum load

PLACEMENT OF SLING FOR LOOP FIXING SPREADER BARS:
PLACEMENT OF SLING FOR CLIP FIXING
SPREADER BARS:
Do not use the hand control or spreader bar cord as a towing rope. Instead,
stand behind the care recipient and push him/her gently to the desired
location. The spreader bar can be used as a “handle” during transfers.
Always lift care recipient directly under the hoist, inclined lifting can damage
sling and can activate height stop.
Lifting actions should only be performed by trained and authorised
caregivers/personnel.
Do not lift the care recipient any higher than necessary for the transfer.
WARNING:
A lifting sling with four to six lifting straps designed for mounting on hooks
should be used when using an Innova™ loop fixing spreader bar. Place the straps
from the lifting sling on the hooks on the lifting hanger. Start with the
uppermost set of straps (from the back) and then take the lowest set
of straps (from the legs). When pressing the up button to lift the user,
check again that all the straps remain correctly placed in the lifting
hanger’s hooks.
A lifting sling with clip-fixings should be used when using an Innova™
clip-fixing spreader bar. Position the clips on the lifting sling over the
studs on the lifting hanger. When pressing the up button to lift the
user, check again that all the clips remain firmly fastened to the
lifting hanger’s studs.
If there is any doubt about the selection or use of a
lifting sling, please contact your Innova™ Dealer.
Innova™ shall not be liable for faults or accidents due
to incorrect use of the lifting sling, or for reasons of
inadequate attention on the part of the carer or user.

CAPACITY:
BATTERY DISCHARGE:
The number of transfers that can be made with a fully charged battery depends on the
length of the lifting operations, the lifted weight, as well as the age and condition of the
battery. However, a fully charged hoist will perform a minimum of 40 lifts.
Maximum load*: 260KG
If a battery is not used for a long period of time, it discharges itself. The over-discharge of
the battery is detrimental to the capacity and lifetime.
AirRise260™is equipped with an advanced battery monitoring system which prolongs the
life of the battery considerably. Operation of this system is described in Section 2.5.
Batteries are not covered by the warranty. To ensure
they are kept in good condition, always put the hoist
on charge after use.
2.3
Charging and Battery Life
To ensure a long service life of the batteries, it is recommended to charge the hoist
when not in use.
To charge the AirRise260™, follow the following procedure:
• Place the hand control in the wall charger (Figure 1)
• Check if the indicator light lights up (Figure 2)
• Leave hoist on charge for about 8 hours.
The Batteries
Figure 1:
The wall charger
Figure 2:
Charging indicator light
The component, e.g. track safe working load, lifting sling, etc. labelled with
the lowest load limit determines the maximum load limit for the entire
system. This maximum load limit must not be exceeded.

LED Indicator Lights
GREEN STATUS
If the hoist is active, the indicators light up green.
The hoist switches itself off after approximately 30 minutes,
the green light will then turn off. By pushing the On button,
the lift will activate automatically. This is to save power.
ORANGE STATUS
The orange light indicates that the batteries should be
charged at the first opportunity.
The battery is not at critical level, but gives an indication
that charging is desired. The batteries must be charged as
described in section 2.3.
RED STATUS
The batteries have reached a critical level, the hoist must
not be used, further discharge will damage the batteries.
The batteries must be charged as described in section 2.3.
Indicators & BPS
2.5
Battery Protection Software
Because the fully discharging of batteries shortens their life expectancy and also the capacity
and ease of use, AirRise260™is equipped with a system which protects the battery from
complete discharge.
In the “OR ANGE STATUS”, when charging is desired but not strictly necessary, the
system will beep every 10 seconds as a reminder that the hoist (at first opportunity) needs
to be charged.
If this signal is ignored for a long time, the hoist will go to a “RED STATUS”. The system
will now beep every 2 seconds and only the function downwards is still possible. The hoist
now has to be recharged at least 2 consecutive hours before it can be used again.
“RED STATUS” is only achieved by ignoring the “OR ANGE STATUS”
for a long time.
If the “RED STATUS” quickly follows the “OR ANGE STATUS”, the
end of the battery life might have been reached.
