Before use:
Make certain the lift is properly assembled.
Lifting accessories must be properly trial fitted and tested in relation to the patient’s needs
and functional ability.

Final Inspection
• Final inspection of the lift is required
before putting the lift into service. Once
the lift has been removed from it’s
shipping pallet, inspect it for signs of
damage.
• Make sure all four casters are working
properly, check castor locks (figure 1)
• Inspect all connections, nuts and bolts.
Look at the packing material to see if any
loose nuts, bolts, screws are discovered. If
any are found identify where they go and
put them back on.
•
T
urn the emer
g
ency stop button clockwise
so it pops out. (figure 2)
• Now the lift should be ready for
operation. Take the hand control and push
the up bottom. Run the lift arm all the wa
y
up. Then push the down button and run
the lift all the way down.
• Verify the emergency stop button works
by pushing it in and push the up or down
button to verify the lift doesn’t work.
• Follow the instructions for a sling that you
are using and lift a person (that is not a
patient) in the lift to test operation.
• Verify that emer
g
ency lowerin
g
works with
someone in the lift. (figure 3)
• If everything has checked out
satisfactorily, plug the lift in for charging,
verify the yellow charging light comes on.
(figure 4)
• View the video in-service DVD for proper
trainin
g
on the Rino before you put the lift
into use with a patient.

User’s Guide
Operation
• Operate the lift using the pushbuttons on
the hand control. (figure 5)
• For raising and lowering:
Directional arrows show the direction of
movement (up/down). The lift stops when
you release the buttons.
• For base-width adjustment:
Press either of the two lower pushbuttons.
Emergency Stop
• To use the Emergency Stop:
Push the red Emergency Stop button on
the control box. (figure 6)
• To reset:
Turn the button in the direction of the
arrows.
Electrical emergency lowering
• With a narrow object that is not sharp (a
key or allen wrench), press the hole
marked "EMERGENCY" on the control box.
(figure 6, arrow is pointing at holes)
Mechanical emergency lowering
• Pull the red emergency lowering regulator
upward one inch. (figure 7) The
mechanical emergency lowering device
functions only when the lift arm is loaded,
i.e., when the patient is in the lift.
Locking the wheels
• To lock the wheels, press the brake lever
above the wheel down with your foot.
(figure 8)
• 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 floor.
Warning! Never move the lift by
pulling the actuator! (figure 9)

Charging the batteries
Battery Charge Level
• Your Rena lift has three different
indicators to alert you to the charge level
of the batteries. One is a yellow LED light
on the hand control. When it remains on
when a button is depressed, the battery
has less than 25% charge left. (figure 10)
• The battery gauge is the best indicator of
charge level. When less than 1 bar
symbol, (figure 11) that indicates the
charge level is below 25%. When the
gauge appears like this it could also mean
the emer
g
ency stop button is pushed in or
the battery pack is not properly seated.
• When all fields of the display are black,
the battery is fully charged to 100%.
•
T
he third indication the battery is low is an
audible beep as the lift is being operated.
If you hear a beeping sound, the lift is
below 25% charge level.
Charging methods
• Your Rena lift comes standard with a
built- in charger. (fi
g
ure 12) Simply plu
g
it into a electrical outlet to charge. Verify
the green LED light comes on to indicate
the charger is receiving power. Verify the
yellow LED is on indicating charging. Lock
the wheels of the lift while it is charging.
• An optional wall mounted charger is
also available. (figure 13) Remove the
battery from the lift and seat it on the wall
mounted charger. Verify LED’s light as
stated above.
Notes
• For maximum battery life, charge
batteries often.
• Don’t allow battery charge level to fall
below 25%, it’s best to char
g
e before the
charge level reaches 50%.
• Never charge in a wet area.
• E-Stop button must be out to char
g
e.
