Lift and transfer
The patient lifter may tip over if used incor-
rectly! Ignorance of warnings and instruc-
tions may lead to personnel injury. Read in-
structions carefully before attempting to lift
anyone.
The Molift PARTNER 255 has a Safe Work-
ing Load (SWL) on 255 kg / 562 lbs, mean-
ing that it is tested and approved for lifting of
patients up to 255 kg. The Molift Partner 230
with SWL 230 kg / 507 lbs, lifts patients up to
230 kg.
Several factors have to be considered during move-
ment of the lifter:
• the user shall sit as low as possible facing the
lifting column
• the user should rest their feet on the chassis
Stand to the side of the user when lifting. Ensure that
arms and legs are clear of the lift, chair, bed etc. Try
to maintain eye contact with the user - this will help
the user feel safe and comfortable.
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely
fastened to avoid the user slipping or falling
Use the drive handles when manouvring the
lifter, do not push or pull the patient, suspen-
sion or lifting arm.
Do not touch the underside of chassis or bet-
ween chassis and legs when monouvring the
legs.
Molift slings shall ONLY be used to lift per-
sons. NEVER use the sling to lift and/or move
objects of any kind.
Molift Partner 230/255 should not be run
constantly for more than 10 min during 1
hour.
Safety precautions
General
Before putting a Molift Partner 230/255 into opera-
tion, the operator must ensure that the lifter and ac-
cessories are in good working order, especially with
regards to safety. The lifter must be taken out of
service immediately, or not returned to use, if faults
and/or irregularities that may have inuence on the
safety are discovered.
A Molift Partner 230/255 shall only be used when
all safety devices and equipment is in place and ful-
ly operational.
The lifter is designed for indoor use in room
temperature, +10 to +40 °C. This should be
taken into consideration when transporting
the lifter, and therefore keeping it in a tem-
perate part of the vehicle. Alternatively, the
lifter must rest in a temperate room until the
equipment has achieved proper working tem-
perature.
The lifter has an expected lifetime of 10 years
or 30 000 lifts with max load (SWL), when all
recommended service is performed.
If defects or faults occur
The lifter must be switched off immediately if one
of the following conditions occur;
• damage to electrical devices or cables, or damage
to parts of electrical insulation
• damage or failure on safety devices
If the lifting movement does not start when
the corresponding button is pressed, please
consult the fault finding table in the mainte-
nance chapter to locate the fault.
Injury to personnel or equipment may occur if Molift
Partner 230/255 is used in an incorrect manner and
if:
• covers are removed by unauthorised personnel
• used incorrectly
• insufcient maintenance
• load exceeds maximum limit, stated as SWL in
this manual and on the lifter.
• unauthorised repair of electrical devices or cables

Page 5 of 24
Safety devices
Molift PARTNER 230/255 is equipped with several
safety devices, which are intended to prevent dam-
age to personnel and equipment in the case of incor-
rect use.
• The lifter has an overload sensor preventing the
lifter to be operated with more than SWL.
• The lifting arm is hinged to prevent the arm and
suspension from squeezing the patient if it is
lowered too much. The lifting arm will not pro-
duce any force when moving downwards.
• The suspension has safety hooks to prevent the
sling loops to fall off.
• When activating the emergency stop button, the
power supply will be disconnected, and the lifter
will stop.
• If an error occurs on the lifter, it is possible to
lower the lifting arm electrically on the battery
holder or manually by operating the emergency
lowering switch on top of the column.
• The lifter has a service lamp which gives a signal
when the lifter needs service.
About the product
Molift Partner 230/255 is a mobile lifter intend-
ed for lifting and transferring persons. The lifter is
made out of light materials, it has castors, electrical
adjustable legs and a battery. It is therefore ideal for
use in institutional care.
Main parts
The lifter is built around a chassis unit comprising
a lifting column xing unit, rear castors and spread-
ing mechanism for legs. The adjustable legs are op-
erated by an electrical motor and gives the operator
a possibility to adjust the width of the lifter to differ-
ent needs and situations. On the lifting column there
is a drive handle and a battery holder. On the battery
holder there is a connection for the hand control and
an emergency stop button.
On the lifting column there is a trolley on which the
lifting arm is attached. The suspension is attached to
the lifting arm, and the suspension rotates freely, al-
lowing the Molift PARTNER 230/255 to be used at
any angle.

Assembly / disassembly
To be able to operate the Molift Partner 230/255, the
operator must have good knowledge of the lift, in-
cluding assembly, disassembly and preparation be-
fore use.
Assembly and use of charger
The charger shall be connected to the power outlet
at all times. It is possible to mount the charger on a
wall surface or place it on a table.
Molift AS tests and charges all batteries be-
fore packing and shipment. However, all bat-
teries must be charged before use.
Unpacking
• The lifter comes in one cardboard box. Verify
that the box has no apparent damage. If dam-
aged, - check the content and contact your dealer
for assistance if components are damaged.
• The box contains chassis, lifting column, lifting
arm with suspension, drive handle, hand control,
battery and battery charger.
Assembly
• The chassis should be rolled out of the box.
The battery must not be in the battery holder
during assembly!
• Place the column in the attachment on the chas-
sis, and the column will nd the correct position.
If the column does not place itself correctly, ro-
tate the drive with the Allen key on the top and
try again until the column has found the correct
position.
• Make sure that the red arrow on the lower part
of the column corresponds with the edge on the
chassis. Fix the column with the lock handle.
• Mount the lifting arm with suspension and rub-
ber protection on the trolley on the lifting col-
umn.
• Slide the rubber protection up on the arm and
guide the lifting arm on the trolley. Push the arm
down until the locking handle makes a clear click
when the lifting arm is xed correctly.
Be careful not to put fingers or similar under
the lifting arm between arm and trolley. Dan-
ger of personal injury.
• Slide the rubber protection back to cover the trol-
ley, and pull it over the top and bottom edge.
• Connect the hand control cable to the contact on
the battery holder. The hand control has a hook
that makes it possible to hang it on the drive han-
dle or the plastic hooks on the column.
• Place the battery in the holder with the connec-
tors facing down. Release the emergency stop
and run each function of the lifter a couple of
times without load to verify proper function.
Molift AS tests all lifters with and without
load before shipment. The control is an extra
precaution to uncover any shipment damage
and/or incorrect assembly.

Checklist before use
• Check that the lifter has no apparent damage or
other faults, especially that the suspension has no
damage or cracks.
• Ensure that the lifting arm and lifting column are
properly xed and that there is no loose parts on
the lifter. The lifting column must be xed tight
in the chassis attachment.
• Check that the emergency button is deactivated
and that the lifter works.
• Check that you have sufciently charged batter-
ies to complete the task you have planned.
• Check that the servicelamp gives a green light
indicating it is ready for use. If the servicelamp
gives a yellow or red light, the lifter needs serv-
ice.
Make sure that the suspension has no dam-
age or cracks, and that the lifting arm and
column is properly fixed before use!
Disassembly
The Molift Partner 230/255 can easily be disassem-
bled in three main parts (battery not included).
• Remove the battery.
• Remove the lifting arm with rubber protection by
pulling the locking handle up and forwards while
lifting off the lifting arm.
• Release the lock handle on the chassis, and then
lift off the lifting column.
It is recommended that the emergency stop is
activated during storage for safety reasons.

Operation
Battery care and charging
Molift Partner 230/255 is supplied with a battery
with a 26,4 V cell unit that is placed in the battery
holder on the lift.Acharger is also supplied to charge
the battery whenever needed. The charger can be
mounted on a wall surface or placed on a table.
The charger has a LED (Light Emitting Diode) indi-
cating the status of the battery as described below:
LED Mode
Yellow No battery
Yellow Initiation (10 sec)
Orange Fast charge
Green/yellow Top-off charge
Green Trickle charge
Orange/green Error
Place the battery in the charger. After a few seconds
the LED will change from yellow to orange, indicat-
ing that the battery is charging.When the LED gives
a constant green light the battery is fully charged.
Battery capacity
A Battery LED is situated on the battery holder on
the lift. If the voltage of the battery falls below a cer-
tain level, the diode will change to orange, indicating
the need for charging. There is still enough capacity
to perform 3-5 lift cycles (75 kg) at this point.
If the battery is discharged during a lift, it is
always enough power to lower the user down
again.
Operating the hand control
The hand control to Molift Partner 230/255 has
four buttons, two buttons for up and down, and
two buttons for adjusting the adjustable legs.
In addition there is a green diode which illuminates
when the battery needs charging.
Emergency stop and lowering
Emergency stop
All of the Molift patient lifts are equipped with
emergency stop and lowering. The emergency stop
button is situated on the battery holder. Push the red
button to cut the power to the motor. Turn the but-
ton clockwise until it pops up to reset the emergen-
cy stop.

Emergency lowering
It is possible to perform an emergency lowering
in case of a general malfunction. Molift Partner
230/255 has both an electrical and manual emergen-
cy lowering.
Electrical emergency lowering is placed on the bat-
tery holder. Push the button and hold until the pa-
tient is lowered.
There is an allen key situated on the top of the col-
umn for the purpose of manually lowering. Push the
allen key through the hole on the top of the column,
and turn until the patient is lowered down.
Remember to remove the allen key fom the
hole immediately after lowering.
Contact the Molift service partner if the rea-
son for the failure causing an emergency low-
ering is unknown or if it is a result of failed
components or parts.
The electronics has a power save-function which
makes the system sleep after a while with no ac-
tivity. All lights will go out. Activate the system by
pushing one of the buttons on the hand control.
If the lifter is run up and down constantly for a long-
er period, the electronics may be overheated and the
lifter will stop. Let the lifter rest until the lifter is
cooled down enough for further use.
Lift and transfer
The suspension shall always be positioned across
the user as shown left in the illustration below.
When using slings intended for two point sus-
pension, the suspension shall be used diago-
nally, i.e. loops from the sling shall be fas-
tened on hooks diagonally opposite.
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely
fastened to avoid the user slipping or fall-
ing.
Try to position the user as low as possible (prefera-
bly resting the feet on the chassis) when transferring
the lifter with a suspended user. In this way, the cen-
tre of gravity will be as low as possible and there-
fore reducing the risk of instability. The lifter should
be manoeuvred with spread legs in outer position to
achieve the highest possible stability.
Be careful during movement - the suspended user
may swing somewhat during turns, stops and starts.
Be particularly careful when manoeuvring close to
furniture to prevent the suspended user from collid-
ing with these objects.

The lifter shall not be used to lift or move us-
ers on sloping surfaces.
Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven
surfaces or other obstacles that may block the cas-
tors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over
such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over.
The lifter shall only be used for movement
over short distances. It is not a replacement
for wheelchair or similar.
Use of spread legs
Use wide legs wherever appropriate, for instance to
position the lifter around wheelchairs, toilets etc.
Using lifting slings
The Molift Easy lifting slings are, as the name indi-
cates, easy to use.
It is recommended to use Molift slings. Slings
from other manufacturers may have other
specifications leading to unexpected insta-
bility and possible personal injury.
Fold the sling as indicated above before use. The
grey side should be facing away from the user when
putting the sling in place. The sling should be held
by one hand, leaving the other free to move and sup-
port the user.
Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail,
resulting in serious injury to the user. Use
slings in good condition only. Destroy and
discard old, unusable slings.
Please read the user manual that comes with
the sling for specific user instructiond.

Lift and movement to and from bed
Lift from bed
Roll user onto her side. Put the folded sling behind
her back. The centre of the sling should be parallel
with the users spine. Roll her then onto her back.
Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs as
shown in illustration above.
Cross the loops one through the other.
If the user has a bed which enables raising
and lowering, it should be lowered before the
lifting starts.
Position the legs under the bed with the suspension
over the user. Be careful not to lower the suspen-
sion too low touching the user. Make sure that the
suspension is centred over the user before you start
the lifting. Remember - the castors should not be
locked.
When all four loops are hooked onto the suspension,
raise the user carefully.
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely
fastened to avoid the user slipping or falling
If the user is in a hospital bed, it will help to
raise the head of the bed
Repositioning of the user may be needed to ensure
thata safeand comfortablesitting positionis attained
as the user is raised. Reposition using the handle on
the back of the sling.

Page 13 of 24
Raise the user until the buttocks are just above the
mattress. Lift the user’s legs and turn her so she fac-
es the lifting column. When clear of bed, and if prac-
tical, lower the user so that her feet rest on the chas-
sis. If possible, lower the bed before lifting. Move
the lifter away from bed.
Beware of obstructions under the bed that
can cause castors to stop or tip.
Lift to bed
Raise the user until the buttocks are just above the
mattress. Position the lifter under the bed.
Beware of obstructions under the bed that
can cause castors to stop or tip. Take care
not to squeeze the users legs.
Centre the user over the bed and turn her/him so that
the feet point to the end of the bed. Lower the user
carefully. Remove the loops from the suspension.
Removing the sling
Gently pull the leg section to the side, out from the
user’s thighs and towards yourself. Pull the shoulder
section under the neck of the user and roll her gently
onto her side. Pull the sling away and roll her onto
her back.
Be careful when rolling the user onto her
side. Make sure you have control over the
movement to prevent her from rolling com-
pletely over and out of the bed.
Lift and transfer to and from oor
Lift and transfer from the oor is almost identical to
a lift and transfer from bed - please read this section.
There are two ways to lift from the oor.
Alternative lift 1
Place the users head on the chassis. Use a pillow if
appropriate to protect the head and neck of the user.
The suspension shall be centred over the user.
Lower the suspension enough to allow the sling
loops to be hooked up.
Raise the user from the oor. Position user in the
sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling.
Turn the user to face the lifting column, and place
the feet on the chassis.

Page 14 of 24 BM03 - English - Molift Partner 230/255 - Rev. G/ 02/2008
Alternative lift 2
A oor based lift can also be performed by position-
ing the lifting column between the legs of the user as
shown above. Otherwise as alternative 1.
Lowering to oor
Place a pillow on the chassis or on the oor to pro-
tect the users head and neck (not necessary if you
are using a sling with head support). Otherwise as
described above.
Lift and transfer to and from (wheel) chair
Lift and transfer from (wheel) chair
Fold the sling as described in “Using lifting slings”.
The gray side should be turned away from the user
when placing the sling.
If the users physique and ability allows it,
the user should be encouraged to take active
part in fitting the sling. The user can lean
forward, lift her thighs and help placing the
leg section.
Lean the user forward gently, but ensure you contin-
ue to support her. Place the folded sling behind the
user’s back and push it down until it touches the seat
of the chair.
The leg sections of the sling are pulled forward and
beneath the user’s thighs by the loops. The loops are
then crossed, one through the other, as shown.

Page 15 of 24
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely
fastened to avoid the user slipping or falling
Move the lifter around the chair, and let the user rest
her feet on the chassis.
If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the
brakes must be locked to prevent the wheel-
chair from rolling away.
Lift/raise the user above seat height, and perform the
transfer. It is not necessary to lift the person very
high.
Lift and transfer to (wheel) chair
Manoeuvre the lifter so that the user is as far back in
the (wheel) chair as possible.
If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the
brakes must be locked to prevent the wheel-
chair from rolling away.
When lowering, you can use the following tech-
niques or a combination of them to position and get
the user seated far back in the chair:
• push gently on the knees
• pull the loop on the back of the sling
• tilt the chair slightly backwards
Lower the user into the chair, unhook sling from
suspension and remove the lifter.
Removal of sling
Gently pull leg section to the side, out from the us-
er’s thighs. Standing by the side of the user, lean her
forward - supporting with one hand. Pull sling up
from behind her back.
Pulling sharply on sling may cause user to
fall forward resulting an injury. Always sup-
port the user by keeping one arm around the
user’s shoulder when fitting or removing the
sling (see illustration).
If the users physique and ability allows it,
the user should be encouraged to take active
part in fitting the sling. The user can lean
forward, lift her tights and help placing the
leg section.
Bathing
The procedure for lifting to/from the bath is in prin-
ciple the same as for to/from bed. A special bath-
ing sling is used for this purpose. This sling dries
quickly.

Toileting
The Easy Toilet Sling is used with the standard 4-
point suspensions.
Easy Toilet sling is a toilet sling with a thick-
er and wider upholstery. It is also available
with head-support. The Molift Easy Toilet
Comfort sling is easier to fit in narrow en-
vironments, and is available with a separate
head support
The toilet sling is tted as follows:
• Insert the sling behind the users back with the
grey side away from user.
• Fasten the belt rmly around the user’s body.
• Place the leg section under the front part of the
thighs and pull the loops up between the thighs.
On Molift Easy Toilet Comfort, place the leg
section over and down between the thighs and
pull outwards from the inner part of the thighs.
Thelegsections ofMolift EasyToiletComfort
Sling are fitted to separate the legs, therefore
they should not be crossed as the other Easy
slings.
• Hook the four loops on the suspension as for oth-
er slings.
• Position the lifter around the toilet and lower the
user.
• Pull the leg sections out of the way. The sling can
be left on during bathroom use.
Alternative
By pulling the leg sections from the outside
and in, you will achieve a wider leg posi-
tion.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Detergents must be pH-neutral. Do not use
solvents or strong liquids - this may damage
surfaces on the lifter and change the quality
of the material. For disinfection when need-
ed; use isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive or
etching cleaning products.
Clean surfaces with a damp cloth using an appropri-
ate detergent. Regular cleaning is recommended and
should accordingly be added to internal routines.
Inspection should be perfomed to uncover unexpect-
ed damages or errors.
Monthly inspection
Make sure that there is no damage or cracks
on supporting parts. The suspension shall
not be used if there are any visible damages
or cracks as it may cause personal injury or
damage to the lifter.
• Check the lifter, and the suspension especially,
for damage. Make sure there is no loose parts on
the lifter.
• Remove hair and pile from the castors and verify
that the castors rotates without abnormal friction
• Verify that the contacts of the hand control is
rmly in place, if necessary clean contact and
hand control with spirit or similar.
• Verify that the battery ts correctly in the battery
holder.
• Verify that the cables for the hand control and
charger are intact
• Run the lifter up and down, and legs in and out
to verify that it runs normally and without any
abnormal noise.
Periodic inspection
Molift recommends annual inspection according to
the checklist on page 22. The inspection is to be done
by an authorized service representative. The owner
of the lifter is responsible to ensure that one check-
list is lled out and signed for each inspection, and
for keeping the checklist.
Service
Molift Partner 230/255 has a LED on the battery
holder indicating if the lifter needs service.The LED
gives a green light when the lifter is ready for use.
The electronics registers how much the lifter is be-
ing used, and the load it is used with. After a given
time of use there will be a signal that the lifter needs
service to the service LED. The LED will rst give
a yellow light, then red. Take contact with your lo-
cal service representative and order service. If there
is a sound together with the light, it means the lifter
needs service immediately.
