1.3 Intended proper use
The Patient Hoist is for use in care facilities, hospi-
tals and home purposes. The hoist described here-
in is exclusively for moving (lifting and transferring
a patient in a sling).
The max carry load of the hoist is 250 kg.
The Patient Hoist may not be used for longer
transport distances, or over to other floors, or trav-
el over uneven surfaces. It may not be used for
other purposes such as transporting other objects,
as it is not designed for this purpose. The Patient
Hoist may be used indoors only! Do not use the
Hoist near life-supporting equipment.
1.4 Operating comfort
The Patient Hoist is equipped with an electric
hoisting unit, jamming protection, low charge pro-
tection, emergency lowering, emergency OFF
function and a rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery makes the Patient Hoist
independent of an external power supply for a
certain period of time (depending on the charging
capacity of the rechargeable battery) and thus
increases mobility during its use.
By activating the foot pedal, the transport base
frame spreads apart and thus increases stability.
The rear swivel castors can be easily locked by
pressing the locking lever lightly with your foot.
Using the hand switch, the lifter arm can be moved
up or down without any jerky movement, and step-
lessly via the motorised drive unit.
1.5 Accessories (sling and hoist)
Various sling systems are available as accessories
for individual seating requirements and areas of
applications.
Use only REBOTEC accessories as only these
can assure a trouble-free and safe function.

Manufacturing information
The name-plate is very important for product identi-
fication, and thus must never be removed.

4. Re-use, operating lifetime
The product is designed for re-use. The number of
times of re-use depends on the frequency and
manner of use.
Before re-use, the product must have the proper
level of hygiene, and the technical functional integ-
rity of the product must be checked over and, if
necessary, re-established.
The expected lifetime of the Patient Hoist can be
up to 5 years when used properly and the safety
instructions, maintenance intervals and care in-

6. Safety advisories during use
When using the Patient Hoist, the fol-
lowing safety advisories must be ob-
served:
Attention! Operating instructions!
Before the first use, the User Instructions must
be read completely in order to avoid faulty opera-
tion or hazards.
Before each use, check the Patient Hoist for
visible damage or deficiencies.
Operating and adjusting the Patient Hoist must
be done only by persons who are knowledgeable
and trained on how to properly handle the Pa-
tient Hoist. This requires the ability to use the
unit with the patient.
Patient Hoists used in wet rooms may be ex-
posed to ozone moisture, chlorine and heat,
which can lead to oxidation that appears as a
white coating.
When functional faults or damage of any type
occur, then the Patient Hoist may not be used.
Danger of breakage!
The maximum allowable load of 250 kg may
not be exceeded because no safe operation
can be assured.
Whenever using a sling, be sure that it is secure-
ly hung to the carrier of the Patient Hoist. Do not
use any sling that shows signs of damage.
Do not place any objects between the main col-
umn and the drive axis. No perpendicular loads
may be applied to the drive axis.
The patient must not hold onto the drive axis.
No weight loads may be hung onto the carrier for
an extended time period.
Danger of injury!
The Patient Hoist may not be operated while it is
being charged up.
The Patient Hoist may be used only inside on
even, slip-free surfaces. Using the Patient Hoist
on slopes, grades or inclinations must be avoid-
ed due to the increased risk.
Use caution when travelling in tight spaces.
Paths used by the Patient Hoist must be cleared
before they are travelled on.
Sudden movements and pushing, as well as
patient-swinging must be avoided because of an
increased risk of an accident.
Never leave the patient unsupervised when us-
ing the Patient Hoist! An unforeseen movement
or action by the patient may lead to a risk of inju-
ry.
In the event of an emergency lowering of the
patient, use extreme caution to avoid putting the
patient in danger. In difficult situations, seek the
assistance of another person.
Check to be sure the connection between the
carrier and the lifter arm is secure.
Danger! Function hazard!
It must be assured that no moisture reaches
inside the electrical systems. (Observe protec-
tion class!)
Do not open up the control / drive / battery unit or
manual switch systems!
Do not charge up the rechargeable battery in wet
rooms (e.g. bathrooms, shower stalls).
In the event the electric jamming protection does
not function (drive unit must not run when there
is blocking), the Patient Hoist must not be used.
Watch out for possible electromagnetic disturb-
ances from unit(s) such as mobile phones, medi-
cal equipment!

ries). Be sure the screw is firmly tightened!
Step 3: Hook up the operating unit
