1.3 Intended proper use
The Patient Hoist is for use in care facilities, clinics
and home purposes. The lifter described herein is
exclusively for moving (lifting and transferring) a
patient in a sling.
The maximum load is 125 kg.
The Patient Hoist may not be used for longer
transport distances, or to other floors, or travel
over uneven surfaces. It may not be used for other
purposes such as transporting other objects. Don’t
use the patient hoist near life-sustaining devices.
1.4 Operating comfort
The Patient Hoist is equipped with an electrical
hoisting unit, low charge protection, emergency
lowering, emergency OFF function and a re-
chargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery allows the Patient Hoist
to be used independently of an external energy
supply for a certain period of time (depending on
the charge level of the battery) and so increases
mobility during use.
The base frame can be spread apart simply by
activating the foot pedal, and thus increases stabil-
ity. The rear castor wheels can be easily locked
with the brake lever using your foot.
Using the hand switch, the lifter arm can be moved
up or down without any jerky movement and step-
lessly via a motorised drive unit.
1.5 Accessories (sling)
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.

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 Lifter. This requires the ability to use the
unit with patients.
Patient Hoist used in wet rooms may be exposed
to humidity moisture, chlorine and heat, which
can lead to oxidation that appears as a white
coating.
When functional faults or damage of any type
occurs, then the Patient Hoist may not be used.
Danger of breakage!
The maximum allowable load of 125 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 holder 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 possible
risk of injury.
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 for a secure connection between the car-
rier and the lifter arm.
Danger! Function hazard!
It must be assured that no humidity reaches
inside the electrical systems. (Observe protec-
tion class!)
Do not open up the control / drive / battery unit or
hand switch systems!
If the drive doesn’t work (drive mustn’t start up
while it’s blocked) it’s not allowed to activate the
patient hoist.

9. Setting up the Patient Hoist for use
The product is delivered partially pre-assembled.
The following assembly instructions must be car-
ried out before first-time use.
Step 1: Unpack
Remove the Patient Hoist out of the packaging and
place it on a level floor.
Lock the wheel castors (see: page 8, section 13)
so that the Hoist cannot roll away.
Step 2: Install the control-/battery unit
Securely screw the control unit (K) to the column
(A) using both M6x16 screws (1) (included in the
accessories) using an SW5 Allen key.
Be sure that the red button of the control unit is
correctly positioned, facing the handle!
Step 3: Set up the column
Before setting up column (A), first unlock the wheel
brakes (F). To avoid damaging the paint coating on
the column, first straighten the pedal (D).
Notice the sign (X) at the bottom of the column.
Next lock the wheel brakes!
Step 4: Install the column
Remove the key ring (1) or spring clip (3) from the
bolt (2) and then pull the bolt completely from the
hole.
The column (A) can now be set up together
with the lifter arm (B).
By inserting bolt (1) into the borehole, the column
(A) is arrested.
Next secure the bolt against slipping out by in-
stalling the key ring (2) “or spring clip (3)” and then

Step 5: Install the Hoist axis
To mount the drive motor to the Hoist axis, first
remove the key ring and bolt (1) “or spring clip (2)”
from the hole of the Hoist arm (A).
Next lift up the Hoist arm (A) and align the bore-
hole of the Hoist axis (X) with the Hoist arm.
Then insert the bolt and secure it with the key ring.
Now the Hoist arm is secured.
Be sure that the key ring (1) or spring clip (2) is
fully closed!
Step 6: Cable connections
Carefully insert plug (1) of the drive unit into the
jack (X) and the plug (2) of the hand switch into
jack (Y) on the side of the control unit.
Step 7: Emergency OFF button
Before starting up the Patient Hoist, the emergen-
cy OFF button must be deactivated. To do this,
rotate the button clockwise until it pops out.
10. Charging the battery
10.1 Rechargeable battery
If the lifting and lowering of the Hoist arm becomes
noticeably slower, then the battery charge is too
low. Recharge the battery as soon as possible!
This extends the lifetime of the rechargeable
batteries. Rechargeable batteries that are
not used for an extended period of time
should be recharged every 3 months in or-
der to avoid low charges. Otherwise the
charging capacity of the battery is negatively
impacted.
The lifetime of the batteries depends on the
loading and the charge level.
10.2 Connecting and charging
Observe the following instructions!
Check over the charging unit to be sure that the
connector cables or the plugs are not damaged.
DO NOT USE cables or plugs that are damaged!
Check the power mains supply (see 7.2) and
power supply fuse protection for the charging
unit.
The charging unit and the rechargeable battery
may not be opened under any circumstances!
The Patient Hoist may not be operated while
it is being charged!
Insert the flat plug (1) of the charging cable (see
accessories) into the jack (C) of the control unit
and then insert the plug (2) into the wall outlet.

Depending on the battery charge level, the charg-
ing process can be as long as 14 hours. If the
charging process lasts longer than 16 hours, then
the rechargeable battery or the charging unit is
defective.
After charging, pull out the plug from the outlet and
then wind the cable around the holder for storage.
10.3 Charge level / indicator lamps
The LED charge level indicator lamp is located
below the window of the control unit. The LED
display is visible when looking directly at the win-
dow from above.
Indicator / LED
LED-dark: Battery capacity is sufficient
LED-green: Battery is fully charged!
LED-red: If the red LED illuminates when
activating the hand switch, then
it means the battery capacity is
too low.
Battery must be recharged!
10.4 Removing the rechargeable battery
The battery can be removed for replacing or for
storing.
Look at the diagram on the battery unit.
11. Emergency OFF function
By pressing the red emergency OFF button, it
locks into position. The drive system is interrupted
and cannot be operated with the manual switch. It
is activated in emergency situations and in the
event proper operation of the Patient Hoist is im-
paired.
By rotating the emergency OFF button clockwise,
it will pop back out and is thus released. The drive
unit can then be operated using the manual switch.
12. Manual switch
The drive unit is activated with the manual switch
(stepless adjustment) and activates “lifting“
and “lowering“ of the Hoist arm.
For the desired action, the button is kept pressed
down. When releasing the button, the drive auto-
matically stops.

13. Wheel brakes
Both wheel brakes are an important safety feature
whenever using the Patient Hoist. The back swivel
castors are equipped with wheel locks and allow
locking of the rear wheels.
Danger –Risk of tipping over!
Both rear wheels must be locked.
Press the wheel lock
levers down with your
foot. The wheels are
now locked and the di-
rection is secured.
Be sure that the wheels
are not swivelled in-
wards.
The wheel brakes can
be released simply by
lifting up the lever with
your foot.
14. Emergency lowering / jamming protection
14.1 Electric emergency lowering
If the hand switch is out of order due to a defect,
yet the electrical system is still able to function
(battery is sufficiently charged), then the lifting axis
can be lowered one more time by using the emer-
gency OFF button.
14.2 Mechanical emergency lowering
In the event the patient becomes exposed to an
emergency situation, or an electrical defect occurs
with the drive motor, or the control unit fails or the
battery is completely uncharged, then it is neces-
sary to use the mechanical emergency lowering
system.
Before using the emergency lowering, it is
absolutely necessary to interrupt the
power supply from the battery. Press the
emergency OFF button!
Danger! Risk of injury!
When using emergency mechanical lowering,
do not stand under the Hoist arm!
Start lowering
Grab the red rotary grip and
pull it downwards until it
clicks into position. For low-
ering the drive axis, grab the
red rotary grip and turn it
counter-clockwise.
Stop lowering
Let go of the red rotary grip
and turn clockwise a half
turn until it clicks into posi-
tion. Lowering is now
blocked.
15. Stability –spreading the base
The foot pedal allows the spreading of the base
members (left and right) and thus facilitates mov-
ing the unit to the area of use. Press the foot pedal
all the way down to the stop.
Danger of tipping over!
Spread the base members only when the rear
wheel locks are fully disengaged!
Not spread apart
Spread apart
Hold the button
pressed down
to lower!

16. Hoist arm (carrier for slings)
The carrier is for hanging slings in which the pa-
tient can be held and lifted up and transferred.
The carrier can be rotated 360°
Hanging the sling must be done using all four
hooks so that the load is evenly distributed.
Abide fully to the maintenance instructions for the
carrier (see: page 10, section 19).
Depending on the application, there are several
different types of slings systems offered by REBO-
TEC. To assist you in selecting the most suitable
sling system, a guide is available (see: page 5,
section 8.).

18. Care
In general the Patient Lifter can be cleaned
using a mild conventional cleaning and dis-
infecting agent. Simply wipe the product
with clean water and cloth, and then wipe
dry with a clean cloth.
Maximum cleaning temperature of
65C must be observed!
The Patient Hoist must not be washed
inside an automatic washing unit!
Do not use an abrasive scouring agent or cleaner
(read the product instructions!) that contain ag-
gressive solvents (acids, thinners, benzene).
Do not use stiff cleaning brushes, as these will
damage the painting or cause deposits to build up
on the steel parts and other materials.
Emergency lowering
The emergency lowering mechanism may not be
treated with oil, grease or other lubricant.
This will lead to faulty function when lowering.
19. Maintenance
Accidents or damage may be caused by the late
detection of wear and/or improper use, as well as
irregular or no maintenance.
For safety reasons and for preventing ac-
cidents, the Lifter must undergo a com-
plete maintenance at least once a year.
(Refer to the Medical Products Act and the
local regulations.)
Maintenance cope
Check at regular intervals:
The time intervals depend on the frequency of use
and the condition of the product.
The product for visible damage (cracks, break-
age, loose parts).
All screw connections for tightness (especially
the wheels and carrier).
Emergency lowering at least semi-annually (mal-
functions –carry out maintenance!)

REBOTEC / BA No.: 02.09.102/2016-12 GB
