Applies to the following models:
Viking M Prod. No. 2040005
Viking M is an electrically-powered mobile lift, designed
to be used in most of the common lifting situations, for
example:
• between the bed and a wheelchair
• to and from the toilet or bathtub
• loweringandraisingpatientsto/fromtheoor
Selecting the appropriate slings and accessories for
each individual patient is important to assure maximum
function and safety when using a patient lift.
CAUTION!
Carefully read instructions for the lift and lifting accessories before use.
Lifting and transferring a person always presents a potential risk. A thorough understanding of the contents of
this instruction guide is essential. Only trained personnel should use the equipment.
If you have questions, please contact Liko or your local Liko representative.
Viking M can be adjusted to three different heights
to give you the most appropriate lifting range.
The mid-range is the standard position, while the
lower position may be the most suitable for lifting
children. The upper position may be needed for higher
lifts, for example to beds and gurneys that cannot be
adjusted in height.
“Caution!” triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention.
In this document, the person being lifted is called the ”patient” and the person helping is called the ”caregiver”.

Assembly
1. Lock both rear wheels. Place the mast in the tube
on the base.
Before assembly, make sure you have the following:
• Battery box
• Bag containing Instruction Guide, cable for charging
(with connection cable for charging) and the Quick
Reference Guide.
• Mast and lift arm, motor for lift arm, slingbar with
safety latches and control box
• Base with motor for width adjustment
• Handcontrol with cable
• Locking handles (1 pair)
4. Connect the cables as follows:
- Handcontrol cable to socket number 1
- Cable for lift arm motor to socket number 2
- Base motor cable to socket number 3
2. The lift height can be adjusted at three different
levels. Select one of the three holes, as shown in
the illustration above. The middle hole is recom-
mended in most cases. The bottom hole on the
mast is recommended when a greater lifting height
is desired. The upper hole is recommended when a
lower lifting height is desired.
The distance between two holes is 50 mm (2 inch.).
See Measurements, page 4.
3. Secure the mast in the desired position in the base
with the accompanying locking handles. Adjust
the handles so they are vertically aligned (pointing
down).

Locking the wheels
The rear wheels can be locked for rotation and lateral move-
ment.
To lock the wheels, press down the brake lever above the
wheel with your foot.
To release the wheels, press up the brake lever with your
foot.
During lifting, wheels should remain unlocked so that the lift
may shift to the patient's center of gravity. The wheels should
however be locked if there is a risk for the lift moving into the
patient,forexamplewhenliftingfromtheoor.
Operation
Operation
Operate the lift using the pushbuttons on the handcontrol.
For raising and lowering: Directional arrows show the direc-
tion of movement (up/down), when the handcontrol is held
as illustrated.
The lift stops when you release the buttons.
For base-width adjustment: Press either of the two lower
pushbuttons.
Wider
Narrower
To use the emergency stop:
Push the red Emergency Stop button on the control box.
To reset:
Turn the button in the direction of the arrows.
Never pull the lift by the actuator! This may result in
damage to the lift and possible injury.
Electrical emergency lowering
With a narrow object, press the hole marked "EMERGENCY"
on the control box.
The object used to press must not be sharp, since this
may cause damage on the control box!
Mechanical emergency lowering
Pull the red emergency lowering regulator straight upward.
The mechanical emergency lowering device functions only
when the lift arm is loaded, i.e., when the patient is in the lift.

Battery Capacity
If the battery needs charging a beep tone will sound and a lamp on the
handcontrol (A) will light.
There is however enough power left in the battery for a few more lifts.
For maximum battery life, batteries must be charged
regularly. We recommend charging after use or each
night.
Maximum charge is reached after about 6 hours. When
the batteries are fully charged, the charger disconnects
automatically.
NOTE! A yellow indicator lamp on the control box
lights constantly during charging. When the batter-
ies are fully charged, the yellow lamp shuts off. If
With built-in charger:
Plug the coiled cable into a wall
socket (100-240 VAC). Check that
both lamps on the control box light.
The yellow lamp on the control box
indicates charging and the green
lamp indicates electricity to the
charger.
If the charger cable is streched out it
should be replaced to avoid the risk
of the cable getting caught and tear.
With wallmounted charger or table charger housing:
Loosen the holder for the charger cable. Remove the battery pack from
the control box by loosening the locking device on top of the battery pack.
Alt. A. Place the battery pack on the wallmounted charger. Plug the coiled
cable into a wall socket (100-240 VAC). Check that both lamps on the
control box light. The yellow lamp on the control box indicates charging
and the green lamp indicates electricity to the charger.
Alt. B. Place the battery pack on the charger in the table charger housing.
Plug the coiled cable into a wall socket (100-240 VAC). Check that both
lamps on the control box light. The yellow lamp on the control box indi-
cates charging and the green lamp indicates electricity to the charger.
Charging the Batteries
Alt. A Alt. B
Alternative charging procedures
the yellow lamp continues to light after 8 hours, the
batteries probably need to be replaced. Discontinue
charging and replace batteries.
Never charge batteries in a wet area!
If the lift is not in daily use, we recommend that the
emergency stop be pressed in after the lift has been
used. This breaks the current and conserves battery
power.
A
A display on the control box shows the current battery capacity.
Whenalleldsofthedisplayareblack,thebatteryisfullycharged.
When a fuse symbol appears (see illustration), the battery must be
re-charged immediately.
Note! The lift does not operate when the charger cable is plugged into a wall socket.
Old batteries are to be left at the nearest recycling station or given to
personnel authorized by Liko.

Maximum Load
Different maximum allowable loads may apply to different products on the assembled lift system: lift, slingbar, sling
and other accessories. For the total lift system, the lowest max. allowable load indicated for the respective products
on the system always applies. For example: A Viking M that is approved for 205 kg (450 lbs.) may be equipped with
a slingbar that is approved for 300 kg (660 lbs.). In this case, the applicable max. load is 205 kg (450 lbs.) for the
total lift system. Study markings on the lift and lifting accessories or contact your Liko representative if you have
any questions.
Recommended Lifting Accessories
Slingbars and accessories recommended for use with the Viking series of mobile lifts are described below.
Changing slingbars and adding extra accessories affects the maximum lifting height of the lift. Before changing
slingbars and accessories, it is important to ensure that it will still be possible to achieve the desired lifting height for
situations in which the lift will be used.
For choice of appropriate slings and other lifting accessories, see e.g., the brochure ”Lifting accessories”.
For further guidance on choosing a sling, consult the instruction guide for the respective sling model. Here, you will

For safe and trouble-free operation, a few routine procedures should be performed every day the lift is used.
• Visually inspect the patient lift and check for external damage or wear.
• Check that all screws and lock nuts on the slingbar are tight.
• Check that the safety latches on the slingbar work properly.
• Check the handcontrol and the lift and width movements.
• Check the emergency lowering function (both electrical and mechanical).
• Charge the battery every day the lift is used, and check charger function.
When necessary, clean the lift with a moist cloth, using common surface cleaners or disinfectants and check to
ensure that the wheels are free of dirt and hair. NOTE! Do not use cleaning agents that contain phenol or
chlorine, since these can damage aluminium and polyamide material.
Transportation and storage
