Instructions for assembly
Before unpacking the patient lifter, please make sure the package is not damaged. If that is the
case, immediately notify in written to the freight forwarder and contact SCALEO Medical.
These instructions for assembly concern the standard version of the Poweo® 140 and
180 Quick Up. For the instructions of special models, please contact SCALEO Medical.
Please follow the instructions of this manual to properly assemble the patient lifter. If
you note any missing or defective piece, do not use the lifter; contact your distributor
or SCALEO Medical.
Using the Poweo® patient lifters requires a good understanding of transfer systems,
assemblage and disassemble procedures. Contact SCALEO Medical if you require
further information.
Unpacking and assembling the Poweo® lifters requires two people.
SCALEO Medical tests and charges all batteries before packing, however, the batteries
must be completely recharged before the first use.
Our lifters and batteries are always delivered with the emergency stop button on the
“ON” position. Always remember to release the emergency stop button on “OFF”

position before operating or charging the unit.
To start: Unpack the lifter by removing all protection devices and taking the lifter out of its
carton box.
Step 1: Install the actuator
Install the actuator placing one end on the arm and one
end on the mast of the lifter, thanks to a hinge. Secure
the installation by introducing one spacer and fixing it
with two bolts, one at each side. Follow the same
procedure for the other end.
The bolts are coated by the “LOCTITE 243” to avoid the loss of screws during the lifting
operating mode.
The “LOCTITE 243” is a medium thread lock coated on the screws during the
manufacture for the future installation to the customers.
Tighten with a hexagonal wrench or the provided special wrench, without using too much force:
the screw head would be deteriorated and it would be impossible to dismount it later.
These operations are very important for the security of the patient and
caregivers.
Without the security pins, the column or the arm may fall and provoke
serious injuries. You must ensure that these pins are properly secured
and perform regular inspections: screws must ALWAYS be present and
in good condition. A label near the pins allows a quick identification for
inspection.
Step 2: Install the column on the base

DOMU125_EN_v3_20221205_Poweo ® Quick Up user manual 9
Step 3: Secure the installation with the provided screw
and turn it inside the column, without tightening it.
It is VERY important to properly secure the assemblage:
the stability of the hoist highly depends on a strong link
between the base and the mast.
The screw is equipped with a thread lock to prevent the
screw from loosening. Install the screw on two or three
tread without completely tightening.
Step 4:
a) Install the clearance removal wedge and tighten the screw so that the column comes to
press on the front part of the base.
b) Then tighten the main screw to secure the assembly.
Installation of the suspension
Step 5: Attach the suspension with the security pin.
Final result:

Commissioning the Poweo®140 -180 Quick Up
SCALEO Medical provides a universal power supply adapted to any voltage/frequency
value. Before charging the battery, you will need to check that the plug provided fits
to your local AC outlet.
If the place of use was informed before ordering, SCALEO Medical will provide the right
type of AC cord.
Before each use check the correct installation of the lifter and of its accessories, verify proper
operation before use with a patient.
The control points presented below only take a few minutes and allow you to ensure a safe
use of your Poweo® patient lifter:
• Make sure that no part is damaged or show signs of wear,
• Check the tightness of all the safety screws and pins,
• Inspect accessible screws and make sure none are loose,
• Check the lights on the remote control: battery indicator should be solid green;
maintenance indicator should be off,
• Check the features: raise and down the arm, leg opening and emergency stop.
In case of malfunction or doubt about the proper operation, do not use the Poweo®
patient lifter. Inform your technical service, your distributor, or contact us at the
address on the back of this manual.

DOMU125_EN_v3_20221205_Poweo ® Quick Up user manual 13
The Poweo® patient lifters are designed to be used in room temperature, +10 to +40°C.
This should be taken into consideration when transporting the lifter; and therefore,
keeping it in a temperate part of the vehicle. Alternatively, the lifter must rest in a
temperate room until the equipment has achieved proper working temperature.

Instructions for use
Security devices
Emergency stop:
The Poweo® patient lifters are equipped with an emergency stop button that
will turn off the lifter when pressed.
The emergency stop button is located on the top of the battery on the
Poweo® 140 -180 Quick Up. Once pressed It must be turned clockwise to
release it.
Emergency lowering devices:
In case the remote control does not operates correctly, an emergency electric
lowering is still possible by activating the hidden button located behind the
yellow label of the base.
Perforate the center of the yellow sticker and press the hidden button with a
small screwdriver and the patient lifter will perform an emergency lowering.
Maintain the pressure on the button to obtain the desired height.
In case of a complete failure of the electronics, a mechanical emergency
lowering is available.
Activate the RED lever/trigger on the actuator by pulling it upward, and
maintain the position until the actuator reaches the desired height.
Lowering speed will depend on the charge and the pressure on the trigger. In case of
use, make sure that a chair or a bed can receive the patient when he is being lowered.
According to the ISO EN 10535 standard, the Poweo® will NOT operate with a patient
weighing more than its maximum safety load capacity.

DOMU125_EN_v3_20221205_Poweo ® Quick Up user manual 15
The opening of the legs is also secured: in the case of a contact between a leg and an
obstacle, the legs will automatically stop moving. The leg opening movement stop is
therefore a warning for the user: it means that the security device is operating, so the
transfer of the patient is not secured.
Battery management
The Poweo 140-180 Quick Up are equipped with SCALEO® electronics, a NiMh battery and the
Poweo® charger, which contains advanced safety features, including electronic protections
against short circuits, over voltages and over temperature. If one of these parameters exceeds
the specified value, the battery will stop working, preventing the user from overheating and the
risk of fire.
When the LED indicator of the remote control turns red, it means that the battery needs to be
recharged. There is still enough power to perform at least one patient lowering.
When the battery discharge threshold is reached, the user is alerted by a beep. If the battery
does not recharge quickly, the display on the control box turns off and the up / down function
will not work.
Charging the battery
In accordance with current regulations, the Poweo® does not work while the battery is
being charged directly into the patient lifter.
If the emergency stop button is pressed, the battery will not charge.
The removal of the SCALEO® battery from the patient lifter does not require any manipulation.
It simply needs to be removed by pulling it towards you. Its shape prevents it from being
accidentally connected backwards or improperly, either in the patient lifter or in the external
charger.
The SCALEO® battery is exclusively charged using the external charger which is supplied by
default.

16 DOMU125_EN_v3_20221205_Poweo® Quick Up user manual
To charge the SCALEO® battery :
1. Connect the charger to the
AC outlet,
2. Place the battery in the
battery charger,
3. Once the battery is detected
in the charger, the LED
indicator lights up.
The Poweo® 140 - 180 Quick Up will
take from 2h30 to 5 hours to
completely recharge to 100% an empty battery.
For intensive daily use a daily recharge will be necessary.
The batteries cannot be overcharged. However, to ensure better performance and
longevity, it is recommended to let them rest for a few minutes after charging and
before use. It is also important to fully charge the battery.
Upon request, the charger's power connector can be delivered protected by a plug that
ensures additional protection of the charger against splashing water. Remove this plug
for charging, and be sure to replace it after recharging.
To charge the patient lifter, use only the supplied cable: charging a battery with an
unsuitable cable can cause the cable and/or battery to overheat and damage all
components, or cause a fire.
After each charge, be careful to unplug the power cord without pulling it to avoid
damaging the cord.
It is recommended to have 2 batteries to replace the discharged battery with the
charged one. Therefore, Poweo® will remain functional at all times.

The external charger
The external charger allows you to charge one battery while a second battery in being used.
The LED indicator of the SCALEO charger displays the status of the recharge. Depending on the
color of the LED the user can monitor the different status.
Maintenance of the battery
Never recharge batteries in extreme temperatures. If the temperature is too high, the
battery charger may stop functioning for security reasons. If this occurs, place the
battery and the charger in a cool place, wait a few minutes so the security device let
the charge begin, and try again to recharge the battery.
If you plan to not use your lifter for a long time (≥ 1 month), proceed as follows to
keep your batteries in good conditions:
• Fully recharge your battery,
• Push the emergency button to OFF position,
• Remove the battery from its compartment,
• Store your battery charged in a cool, dry, well ventilated area,
• Check periodically (every month) the status of charge of the batteries: even if they are
disconnected batteries tend to discharge.
Compliance with these precautions will help you keep your batteries longer and use your
equipment in the best conditions. Failure to follow these instructions will void the

warranty of batteries that would come to fail due to lack of maintenance.
In case of an intensive use failing to meet the service factor of the lifter (2/10), a
"battery empty" false alarm may appear on the remote control. In this case do the
following:
• Remove the battery from its compartment,
• Wait 10 seconds,
• Put the battery back on its compartment.
This operation allows the electronics to reset and cancels the “false” alarm.
The controls
The Poweo® 140 – 180 Quick Up patient lifters have two controls: one remote control and one
fixed control panel installed on the column of the patient lifter. The user can activate the
functions of the lifter (up, down, opening of the legs, closing of the legs...) from both controls
indistinctly.
Both controls are equipped with "4 buttons": lifting, lowering, opening of the legs, closing of the
legs.

Understanding the information of the remote control
The maintenance LED indicator is used to indicate a possible malfunction
AND the periodic inspection status. Therefore, it can display multiple consecutive status.
Example: in case of default AND periodical inspection date exceeded, the
LED displays alternately flashing RED and solid ORANGE.
Managing the maintenance LED status is easy:
• Continuous solid light = default.
• The light is continuous and the lifter is not operating = main fuse replacement is
necessary.
• Flashing light = periodical inspection management.
According to the EN 10535 standards the time period between periodical inspection default
values is 12 months. The periodical inspection time setting can be changed using the Poweo®
service tool software.

Transferring with the Poweo®140 -180 Quick Up
Lifting and transferring from a sitting position
1. If the patient is sitting in a wheelchair, make sure to activate
the brakes.

20 DOMU125_EN_v3_20221205_Poweo® Quick Up user manual
2. Set the lifter so that the back of the patient is in contact with the back of the chair.
3. Place the suspension above the user until the lower edge of the foam is approximately 2
cm above the thighs of the patient.
4. Position the foams around the chest of the patient and ensure that they remain far
enough below the armpits.
Avoid placing them too high under the armpits
of the patient or too far in front or behind the
arms of the patient. The arms of the patient
must always remain outside of the suspension.
5. Lift one leg of the patient and slide the thigh support in place, either high on the thigh
near the groin or half way along the thigh. Repeat the
procedure with the other leg.
Depending on the chosen position of the thigh support there
will be more or less weight to be carried by the foams. When
the thigh supports are relatively high, there will be less
weight on the foams. When the thigh supports are in a lower
position, there will be more weight on the foams.
6. Adjust the length of the thigh sling so that the legs of the patient are lifted
simultaneously with the torso.
The selected position of the thigh slings and thigh supports directly affects the comfort
of the patient. Please make sure the patient is comfortably positioned before
proceeding to the transfer.
7. Using the remote control, lift the patient for a second, by pressing the "UP" button.
8. Ensure the suspension is well positioned around the patient and the patient is
comfortable. Repeat points 1 to 4 if necessary.
9. Lift the patient until the feet are over of the floor.
