1Safety Instructions and Warnings
1 . 1 Intended Use
For internal use only.
The mobile hoist is a lifting aid used by trained personnel. The mobile hoist makes it possible to transfer/lift
mobility impaired clients with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete safety, dignity,
and comfort to the client.
The mobile hoist is one of two components that makes this possible. The other component, the sling, is a
specially designed fabric accessory that attaches to the Hoist by means of a carry bar and straps and holds the
client during the lift/transfer.
Please refer to the user guides supplied with the sling and reference them while reviewing this manual.
The functions of raising and lowering the boom and opening and closing of the legs on the Hoist, are
accomplished by pressing buttons on the hand control. The hand control is attached to the Mobile Hoist.
The device is used under instruction, and the operation of the aid is undertaken by a trained carer.
A risk assessment must be performed before using any other manufactured slings or Mobile Hoist, to
ensure safe use can be established.
•The 130 Mobile Hoist is intended to be installed on a flat and levelled surface prior to use.
•The Hoist must be installed only by persons authorised by Smirthwaite or who have the rights to install
and commission the Hoist safe for use.
•Under no circumstance should the Mobile Hoist or entire system be put in control of a person who has
not been properly trained in the use and care of this equipment. Failure to adhere to this warning may
result in serious injury to the operator and/or the individual being transferred.
•In facilities where more than one operator will be responsible for using the Mobile Hoist and sling(s) it is
imperative that all such members be trained in the Mobile Hoist proper use. A training program should
be established by the facility to acquaint new operators with this equipment.
•The Mobile Hoist, and associated slings are not toys. Do not use it for unsafe practices. Do not allow
children to play with the Hoist or any of its components.
•Your guarantee is void if persons unauthorised by Smirthwaite perform work on the Mobile Hoist.
•To maintain optimum function, the Mobile Hoist should be inspected and maintained on a regular basis.
See section ‘General Inspection, Maintenance and Cleaning’ within this user manual.
•Any accessories used with this Mobile Hoist including belt(s), should be checked to ensure that they are
in good working order. Check for signs of wear to each component prior to use. Report any unusual
wear, or damage immediately to your local authorised dealer.
•The 130 Mobile Hoist and Slings(s) are intended only for transferring of a person. The manufacturer or
Smirthwaite will not be responsible for any damage caused by the misuse, neglect or purposeful
destruction of the Unit and/or its associated components.
•The Mobile Hoist and its associated parts are certified to a maximum load of 130 kg. Do not exceed the
maximum rated load of any of the components.
•Ensure that a clear space is maintained around the Mobile Hoist. Before performing a transfer, check for
and move all obstacles out of the way.
•Your product is for aiding and transferring a patient. Do not use it, or allow it to be used, for any other
purpose.

993151-en-gb – Revision A - 04 . 2023 4 of 12
•Protecting the people present, visually monitor the sling(s) loops connection points during transfer
stages, so the belt remains firmly attached to the clipped carry bar.
•In areas where children are prone to be present be vigilant when carrying out a transfer.
•To reduce the risk of unintended use, when the hoist is not in use, remove the sling(s) from the product
to prevent entrapment or strangulation should the device be tampered with.
•Between Hoist, Spreader Bar and Body-Support Unit, the lowest maximum load shall always be used.
You may need to seek specialist advice on how to assist some people with specific moving and
handling needs. Sources of advice include, but is not limited to, professional bodies and
organisations, occupational therapist, physiotherapists, manual handling advisers and ergonomist
with experience in health and social care.

2Slings
The mobile hoist is designed to be used in combination with a Sling to perform its intended use. The sections
below include the correct and safe manor of attaching/detaching the Slings as well as a list of approved slings
for use.
2 . 1 . 1 Sling Attachment/Detachment
Sling loops should be attached as follows:
1. Put the required sling loop onto your finger and thumb and then using the same finger or thumb, pull
back the spring locking mechanism on the correct hook on the correct side of the carry bar (Figure 1).
2. Slide the sling loop from your finger and thumb over the edge of the hook (Figure 2).
3. After positioning the loop below the locking mechanism (Figure 3) release the spring locking
mechanism to secure the sling loop (Figure 4).
To remove the sling, simply reverse the process – pull back on the spring locking mechanism, lift the loop out
of the hook and release the locking mechanism.
2 . 1 . 2 Compatible Slings
Below is a list of slings that are recommended and have been approved by the manufacturer for use in
combination with the product.
The manufacturer recommends the use of the Smirthwaite sling range (type ‘BF’ applied part) to be utilised with
the Smirthwaite 130 Mobile Hoist. It is at the user’s discretion to use alternative supplied product. In utilising
another manufacturer’s sling, checks must first be made to ensure the sling is safe to use and meets the
requirements of BS EN ISO 10535 before its use.
The slings with a safe working load of 130 kg that can be used with the Mobile Hoist are shown below in the
Table, complete with product codes. For all components, the lowest maximum safe working load must always
be adhered to.

7Cleaning
Please follow the cleaning guidelines below on cleaning and disinfecting the Hoist.
7 . 1 . 1 General Cleaning
It is recommended to clean the Mobile Hoist and accessories before the use by a different patient,
reducing the risk of cross–contamination.
The exterior of the Mobile Hoist can be cleaned using a damp soapy cloth for general cleaning duties.
Please ensure the cloth is damp and not wet. Ensure the exterior of the device is dry after cleaning. Dry using a
clean dry cloth.
7 . 1 . 2 Disinfecting (if necessary)
Should the Mobile Hoist require a more thorough clean, the use of the Actichlor™ disinfectant product (which is
widely available in tablet form and used throughout the health care industry) is recommended.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions for the use of the cleaning product before use to
ensure safe use for the operator and the patient.
Ensure the cloth is damp before the cleaning process.
Application is through a clean damp cloth applied to wipe the device down. Use in the following dilutions to
ensure an effective clean:
•Actichlor™ dissolvable chlorine tablets provide a concentration of 1000 ppm of available chlorine (0.1%)
per 1 tablet
•1 tablet (1.7g formed tablet (x1)) will create a virucidal solution, diluted in 1 litre of water to provide
effective means to clean a “dirty” device. This is also ideal for use after an outbreak of the
Norovirus/winter vomiting and can be used as a precaution against Sporcidal. It is effective against
viruses, bacteria, spores, yeasts and moulds.
•The contact time against the outer components of the device should be for 5 minutes to prevent any
virucidal infections without a degradation to the functionality of the device. 5 minutes is a
recommended contact time. The device can withstand a longer contact period but the 5 minute
recommendation as a minimum must be followed to provide an effective cleaning regime.
•Blood spills should be dealt with by an increased concentration of the solution – please refer to the
instructions on the manufacturers product labelling.
