GENERAL GUIDELINES
Your lift chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase
mobility. Please be aware that the nal selection and purchasing decision
regarding the type of lift chair to be used is the responsibility of you, the lift chair
user, if capable of making such a decision, and/or your healthcare professional
(i.e., medical doctor, allied health professional, therapist, etc.).
Please read and follow the information provided in this owner’s manual before
attempting to operate your lift chair for the rst time.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will
need to practice operating the lift chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A
trained attendant can be dened as a family member or healthcare professional
specially trained in assisting you with performing various daily living activities
while safely operating a lift chair.
Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help
you become accustomed to operating the lift chair in a safe manner.
MODIFICATIONS
MaxiComfort chairs are designed and engineered to provide maximum comfort
and utility. However, to prevent personal injury and/or damage to your lift chair,
you should not modify, add, remove or disable any feature, part or function of your
lift chair. Unauthorised modications may also void your product’s warranty.
Use MaxiComfort approved parts only for all repairs and replacements.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your lift chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to “Specications” for
more information. Ensure you stay within the specied weight capacity of your lift
chair. Failure to do so may result in injuries and/or product damage, CareCo will
not be held responsible for any such issues/failures.
HAZARDS
The scissor and lift mechanisms are labelled as pinch/crush point hazards on
your lift chair. Keep clear of these areas and make sure the path of motion is
unobstructed. See gure 3.1 for pinch/crush point locations.

WARNING!
Do not place objects or appendages in the path of moving parts.
STORAGE AND OPERATION TEMPERATURES
Transportation or storage: -75°C/-104°F to 70°C/158°F
Operation: 10°C/50°F to 40°C/104°F
ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves
can have an adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered devices,
such as lift chairs.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such
as mobile phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations,
TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, Wi-Fi,
microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers
used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended
movement or damage to the control system of electrically-powered devices. The
lift chair user can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment. It is recommended that at least 3 metres (9 feet) of distance be
maintained between the lift chair and any hand-held equipment emitting 10 W
or more of output power. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the hand-held
device to determine the maximum output power of that device.
Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The
higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC
standards, this product has passed immunity testing and is rated as a Group
1, Class B product, meaning the lift chair uses RF energy only for its internal
function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any
interference in nearby electronic equipment making the lift chair suitable for use
in all establishments, including domestic establishments and hospitals.

PAGE 4
Be aware that mobile phones, two-way radios, laptops and other types of radio
transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered
device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while
operating your lift chair.
The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can increase the
susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your lift chair in any way.
Your lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices located
nearby, such as alarm systems. If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of
the lift chair. Contact CareCo to report the incident.
DELIVERY
Before using your lift chair, make sure your delivery is complete as some
components may be packaged individually. If you do not receive a complete
delivery, please contact your authorised MaxiComfort Dealer immediately. Where
damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content, please
contact the delivery company responsible.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
If you will be transporting your lift chair in a motor vehicle, individual components
(external transformer, etc.) should be secured. The lift chair itself must also be
secured (a possible hazard during vehicle braking).

PAGE 5
External Transformer: Connects to a standard electrical outlet to provide power
to the lift chair. The transformer may be equipped with an LED indicator, which
shows green when power to the transformer is on.
Batteries provide the power needed to return the lift chair to an upright or semi-
upright position in the event of a power failure. Batteries are not included and
must be installed into the external transformer. See “Assembly”.
The batteries will provide power for only a short period of time after power is
removed from the system, so it is important to act quickly in the event of a
power failure. Engage and hold the up/down switch in the UP position as soon as
possible. Maintain a steady pressure on the switch to avoid excessive draw from
the battery and achieve the most amount of lift. Keep in mind that the amount
of lift the batteries will be able to provide is affected by user weight and battery
condition.
COMPONENTS
This section describes the features of your lift chair. Carefully review the function
and location of each item described and note that the illustrations and option
locations shown in this manual may not reect the type of lift chair that you own.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Your MaxiComfort Lift Chair is equipped with a low voltage DC motor system that
reduces the standard household alternating current of 90V AC - 264V AC to direct
current (24/39V DC). The electrical components include the external transformer,
batteries and hand control. Keep these areas free from moisture at all times.
WARNING!
Keep all electrical components free from moisture at all times to
prevent shock and/or electrical hazard.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO POSITION THE
LIFT CHAIR IN A SAFE MANNER
1. The back of the lift chair should be positioned with sufcient clearance to
avoid any obstructions, particularly behind the chair after reclining.
2. To allow for unimpeded reclining make sure there is a minimum of 65cm
behind the chair
3. Ensure there is at least 40cm in front of the chair.
4. Place the chair on a at surface/oor in a dry room.
5. Make sure there is no obstruction behind or in front of the chair for a safe
recline and lift during operation.
6. The area between the seat and the footrest should be kept clear to avoid
pinching hazard while the chair is operating.
If you discover a problem at any point during the set-up and positioning of your
lift chair, stop and contact your authorised MaxiComfort Dealer immediately.
To avoid personal injury and/or product damage, do not plug the unit into the
electrical outlet until the problem is corrected and do not attempt to x electrical
problems by yourself.
BATTERY BACK UP SYSTEM
Your lift chair is equipped with a battery backup system that will activate during
a power failure. Two 9-volt batteries are required and not supplied with the chair.
In the event of a power failure the chair will automatically switch over to battery
power but only run for one cycle before the batteries are replaced after each
emergency use.
Always make sure the external transformer is equipped with two fresh 9V
batteries. The battery backup system does not recharge itself. Fresh batteries are
dened as 9V alkaline batteries that are replaced every time the battery backup
system is activated during a power failure, or once a year if the battery backup
system has not been activated
NOTE: If you unplug your lift chair for an extended period of time (more than one
hour), remove the batteries from the external transformer. The lift chair will draw
power from the batteries even when it is not in use.
