1.4 The OpeMax Lite hoist
The OpeMax Lite is a mobile floor hoist intended to
provide a passive transfer for people who live at home
and need care. The person in need of care can be
hoisted by means of a sling, which is attached to the
spreader bar. The user can be placed in a sitting or lying
position so that he or she can easily be moved from e.g.
a chair to a bed.
The OpeMax Lite is a robust, compact, lightweight
and manoeuvrable hoist intended for home care. The
operation of the hoist is very simple.
The hoist is available with a two point spreader bar or a
self-balancing cradle. The two point spreader bar is for
slings with loops, the self-balancing cradle is a four point
spreader bar for slings with clips. The legs of the hoist
are electrically adjustable in width for better positioning.
The OpeMax Lite can be used for the following
transfers :
• From and to chair, wheelchair.
• To and from the toilet.
• From and to shower-bath-toilet chair.
• To and from bed, stretcher.
• To and from the floor.
The OpeMax Lite is different to the OpeMax as it is more
compact. The OpeMax has a larger range and has more
options such as an electric spreader bar, weighing unit,
etc.
The expected lifespan of the OpeMax Lite, in normal use
and under normal circumstances, apart from slings,
spreader bar and batteries, is 10 years (100,000
transfers) when serviced according to the instructions.

1 Introduction
1.5 Points of attention
Handle the hoist with care and ensure a clean and tidy
working environment.
The OpeMax Lite is designed to hoist and move users in
combination with a suitable sling and as such may only
be used for this purpose. Any other use is not permitted.
Operation of the hoist is only permitted by persons
demonstrably qualified to do so.
It is not permitted to hoist anything else (e.g. a chair or
wheelchair) together with the user.
The OpeMax Lite is designed for persons weighing up to
and including 160 kg, unless otherwise indicated on the
hoist.
When approaching and moving the hoist, always check
that the area where the transfer takes place is free of
obstacles. Also check under the bed or (wheelchair)
seat. The hoist must never get stuck or get stuck with
the legs or the mast.
The hoist must not be used on inclined surfaces with an
angle of inclination of more than 5 degrees.
Only use the OpeMax Lite with a sling supplied by
OpeMed. (Always contact OpeMed if you intend to use a
different type of sling).
Attaching the clips of a sling to the spreader bar of the
OpeMax Lite must be done carefully, if a clip is not
attached correctly, the user may fall out of the hoist and
cause serious injuries.
The hoist motor of the hoist is only intended for hoisting
the hoisting arm, and thus hoisting the user, and should
never be used as a support or as a handle. It is therefore
not permitted to pull or push the hoist motor.
The OpeMax Lite should be inspected periodically at
least once a year.
When hoisting, always check that there is sufficient
space above the hoist; the hoist must never get stuck at
the top.
When passing through a door frame, always
check that there is sufficient space above the
hoist arm.
Service and maintenance of the hoist is only permitted by
persons who are demonstrably qualified to do so.
Replacing spreader bars or other structural parts of
the hoist is only permitted by demonstrably
authorised persons.
The battery must always be charged in a well-
ventilated, dry room.
During a transfer, put the hoisting arm in a half-height
position.
If the hoist has been deformed due to improper use or
transport, it may no longer be used and must be
returned to the supplier.
Always report any defects to the hoist or to a sling(s) to
the supplier of the hoist.
Do not use a defective hoist or sling. If there is a red
'rejection' sticker on the hoist, the hoist may not be
used. If it is used, this is entirely at your own risk.

2 Description
2.3 Manual operation
The OpeMax Lite can be operated with the hand control
and on the control box. The curl cord allows you to
stand next to the user during hoisting. The hand control
is used to:
• Move the hoist up or down.
• The legs can be spread electrically..
The control buttons are shown below
Hoist arm up
Hoist arm down
Legs spreader
Legs close
2.4 Control box
The engine is controlled by the control box, which is
attached to the frame between the handlebar.
On top of the control box is a battery that provides the
power. At the bottom of the control box are the motor,
hand control and power cable connections.
In the following chapters we will discuss the
operation of the control box in more detail.
Emergency stop
Control box operation
Control lights
Battery status
Service light
2.4.1 Emergency stop
By pressing the red emergency stop button (figure 2),
the hoist immediately stops moving.
The hoisting of the emergency stop can be done by
turning the knob.
Also use the emergency stop to turn the hoist off when
you don't need it for a long time. This will keep the slow
discharge of the battery to a minimum.
2.4.2 Control box operation
The buttons of the manual control are also located on
the control box (figure 2). This can be used when the
manual control does not work, is lost or is out of reach.
2.4.3 Control lights
On the control box are a number of lights.
The green control light "on" (see figure 1) means that the
control box is on and ready for use. The lamp "charge"
next to it lights up when the battery is being charged.
How full the battery is can be seen on the "battery status"
lights (see page 6).
The "service" light with underneath the sign of an open-
end wrench lights up when the hoist is ready for service.
It will blink orange and can be reset by a service
technician. This is to guarantee that the hoist is and
remains safe.
2.5 Battery
There are two types of batteries available. Lead (Pb) and
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries. A Pb Battery is included
with the hoist as standard.
Pb Batteries are cheaper to buy and have the property
that when the battery is low, the hoist can still be used
with the rest of the power, Li-ion batteries are one on top
of the other empty. Li-ion batteries have about 5x longer
life span, are lighter, more environmentally friendly and
can be left unused for longer. Self-discharge is minimal.
(Art.nr. Pb battery = 31101070, Li-Ion battery =
31101071)
The battery is equipped with a simple mounting
mechanism. On the back of the battery is a handle that
locks and unlocks the battery on the OpeMax Lite. The
best way to do this is to press the handle of the battery
on the top side during installation so that the lock is open
during installation.

It is also possible to take a second battery with the hoist
to ensure a full battery. A separate wall charger
(32106680) can also be supplied.
Always make sure that the battery is sufficiently
charged before you start using the OpeMax Lite.

REF0315 March-2015
2 Description
2.5.1 Charging the battery
Batteries are charged with the internal battery charger
in the control box.
To know if the battery needs to be recharged, a battery
indicator is provided on the control box..
Battery full - hoist can be used.
Battery half-full - hoist can be used.
Charge the battery after use
Battery low - Hoist needs to be
charged. Charge the battery according to the following
procedure:
• Place the battery on the Control Box.
• Turn the emergency stop off (turn the hoist on).
The green “ON” light is lit.
Connect the power cord to the mains.
The orange “CHARGE” lamp lights up.
• During charging, the charge lamp lights up.
• When the battery is fully charged, the "charge" light
will go out.
• Please allow for a charging time of approx. 8 hours.
It is recommended to charge the batteries at least
once a week. Li-Ion batteries can be left unused for a
longer period of time, but it is also best to charge
these batteries regularly.
Regularly charging the battery prevents
the hoist from being used and extends the
life of the Battery.
2.5.2 Battery life
The number of hoisting movements that can be made
with a fully charged battery depends on the duration of
the hoisting operations, the hoisted weight and the age
and condition of the battery.
A battery that is not used for an extended period of
time will slowly discharge. Li-ion batteries may be
unused for longer than Pb batteries. It is recommended
to charge both types once a week. Over-discharging
the battery is detrimental to the capacity of the battery.
Li-Ion batteries last longer than Pb batteries. When
used extensively, the Li-ion can last up to 4 to 5 times
longer. Aging and not charging on a regular basis will
reduce the life span of the Li-ion. The strength and
charging behaviour of both are the same.
To avoid problems, it is advisable to replace the Pb
battery every two years. And replace Li-ion every 7
years.
2.6 Lifting motor
The motor is a strong and robust motor with a very low
noise level. It is equipped with a ballscrew spindle and
electric splines. Electric splines means that the motor
stalls when lowering if something (e.g. shoulders) gets
under the hoist arm. The motor has internal limit
switches. The motor is connected to the control box (fig.
1, page 5). A manual control is connected to the control
box to control the motor.
2.7 Chassis
The legs of the undercarriage can be adjusted in width.
The legs can be spread electrically and are operated by
hand.
Make sure that there is enough space to
spread the legs. If the legs get stuck, this can
cause damage to the hoist or its surroundings.
Transfers as much as possible with the legs in the
narrow position.
2.8 Wheels
The OpeMax Lite has four swivel wheels of which the
rear wheels are fitted with a brake. The rear wheels
brake the wheel in the roll direction and in the rotation
direction (figure 2).
Figure 2 – Brake off Brake on
Moving the hoist from a stationary position takes the
least amount of force if the wheels on the chassis are
already in line with the direction of travel.

2 Description
2.9 Spreader bar
The OpeMax Lite is equipped with a spreader bar.
The spreader bar is a construction to which the sling
is attached in which the user sits. The spreader bar
is connected to the hoisting arm by means of a
coupling (cardan shaft). This coupling ensures that
the spreader bar can rotate and tilt freely, in order to
make a smooth transfer through balance. There are
two types of spreader bars available for the OpeMax
Lite:
• self-balancing cradle
• two point spreader bar.
The self-balancing cradle can put the user in a sitting as
well as a lying position.
The spreader bar moves under the influence of the
posture of the user in a sitting or lying position.
Attaching the sling to the spreader bar is done with clips
that are attached to the sling.
Shoulder side
2.10 Slings
2.10.1 General information on slings
When hoisting, the user is seated in a hammock shaped
sling, which is attached to the spreader bar of the hoist
with clips or loops. There are different types and sizes of
slings, each with its own application (page 17). The
following factors play a role: weight, height and size of
the user, degree of hip stability, pain, amputation, etc.
Head side
Leg side
Shoulder
side
Leg side
Some users may only be hoisted with a certain type of
sling.
Always use the OpeMax Lite in combination with a sling
supplied by OpeMed. Always contact OpeMed if you
intend to use a different type of sling.
The two point spreader bar is used in combination with
slings with loops. These loops can be hung on the
hooks of the two point spreader bar. Due to the
different lengths of loops, the user can be hoisted both
horizontally and in the seat.
Loop hooks
Loop hooks
The sling should support the user in both a sitting and
lying position. For additional head and neck support, two
plastic ribs should be slid into the appropriate slots on
the head side of the sling.
Standard OpeMed slings have a maximum
hoisting weight of 230 kg (unless otherwise
indicated).
Check the slings before use for wear and
tear or damage.

REF0315 March-2015
2 Description
2.10.2 Clips for mounting
Please read these instructions carefully before using the
sling.
It is very important that you fully understand
how to hang the sling correctly.
(see figure 3)
1 Insert the large hole of the clip over the clip hook pin
of the spreader bar. Make sure that the strap leading
to the sling is not twisted. It should be flat in relation
to the clip.
2 Take the sling (that goes to the sling) from the clip
and pull it down, pull the clip off the sling so that the
suspension point falls into the security.
3 The suspension point is now locked in the hole at the
top of the clip.
4 Bring the sling under tension but do not hoist yet.
5 First check all the clips again to make
sure they are properly attached. Now
the user can actually be hoisted.
Figure 3
2.10.3 Washing instruction slings
It is important that the sling is in good condition. The
condition of a sling is partly determined by the way it is
washed or disinfected.
Every OpeMed sling has a label on which the maximum
hoisting weight and the washing instructions are shown.
Such a label is shown in the pictures below.
The icons on the label show how the slings can be
washed. This is sometimes different due to the use of
different materials.
Slings can be machine washed at 60 degrees
(if different, see pictogram).
Tire may be tumble-dried at low
temperature or
Tire may not be tumble-dried.
Not suitable for dry cleaning
Do not use bleaches
Do not iron the slings
Regularly check the slings for wear and tear.
Always remove the plastic ribs from the sling
before washing or disinfecting it.
When disinfecting, use the correct concentration
as indicated on the packaging of the product..

3 Usage
3.1 Commissioning
Check the OpeMax Lite before use at the following points:
• Check that the battery is sufficiently charged.
• Switch the hoist on by turning the emergency
stop clockwise.
• Check the condition of the sling and the
condition of the clips.
• The hoist is ready for use. Always ensure a
clean and tidy working environment.
3.2 Attaching the sling
Make sure that the user is allowed and/or
wants to be hoisted.
Take the right type and size of sling.
Always tell the user clearly what is going to happen at
each operation.
Make sure that the plastic ribs are placed
in the head section of the sling.
3.2.1 Attaching the sling while seated
• Apply the sling behind the back of the user up to
the seat. Lean the user slightly forward in the
chair.
• Position the sling so that the label with washing
instructions is on the outside.
• Then apply the other leg slip in the same way.
• If necessary, pull up the top of the sling to the
correct height. The sling now sits like a "bucket
seat" around the user.
3.2.2 Applying the toileting sling
Apply the toileting sling in the same way as the standard
one, but with the following points in mind:
• Insert the user's arms through the loops on the
head of the sling with the round pads under the
armpits (marked in the illustration).
• Put the leg panties on the outside of the legs,
under the legs, and both panties on the inside
back up.
• Now place the clips on the spreader bar of the
OpeMax Lite.
Head side
Arm
opening
Leg slips
Leg side
• Guide both leg panties of the sling forward
along the user's buttocks.
• After this, pull both leg panties slightly
forward. The user is already 'in' the sling..
• Hoist one of the user's legs and insert one leg
slip from the sling under the leg to the inside of
the leg.
Toileting slings are only safe to use with users with
sufficient shoulder function and core stability. A toilet
sling is not for long-term use and therefore not suitable
as a general sling.

10
REF0315 March-2015
3 Usage
3.2.3 Installing the sling horizontally
• Fold the sling lengthwise by half a couple of
times. One half folded and one half loose.
• Turn the user to the side, towards the caregiver.
• Place the sling with the folded side against the
back of the user.
• Position the sling so that the label with washing
instructions is on the outside (currently the
bottom).
• Turn the user over the sling on the other side.
• The rolled up part of the sling will be on the side
of the caregiver.
• Unroll the rolled up part of the sling and pull it
further into the correct position.
• Now turn the user back on his back so that it lies
on the rolled out sling..
• Hoist one leg from the user and insert one leg slip
from the sling under the leg to the inside of the
leg.
• Then apply the other leg slip in the same way.
• If necessary, pull the sling straight so
that the user lies stable in the sling when
hoisting.
3.3 Hoisting with the OpeMax Lite
The self-balancing cradle can be placed slightly horizontally
beforehand if you have to start hoisting from a lying position
and vertically if you have to start hoisting from a seated
position.
• Manoeuvre the hoist carefully
• If necessary, extend the undercarriage with the
help of the leg adjustment in order to be able to
place the hoist close enough to, for example, a
chair.
• Attention! Drive the last part quietly!
Attaching the sling to the spreader bar
• Make sure that the user is facing the spreader bar.
• Attach the two clips from the head side of the sling
to the attachment points on the head side of the
spreader bar.
• Then attach the two clips from the leg side of the
sling to the attachment points of the leg side of the
spreader bar. Make sure that the straps of the
clips are straight; the strap must not be twisted.
When using a two point spreader bar, the leg
panties of the sling must be attached crosswise
with loops. Left slip on right hook and right slip on
left hook.
Check the position of the user's arms. With standard
slings, place the user's arms inside the sling, e.g. on the
user's lap.
In the case of toileting slings, the user's arms must
protrude through the strap outside the sling.
Take the hand control and stand as close to the user as
possible. Move the hoist up a little so that there is
tension on all the clips.
Check all the attachment points again. Inform the user
that hoisting is commencing.

REF0315 March-2015

3 Usage
3.3.1 Hoisting to the toilet
• Before placing the user on the toilet, lower the
user's trousers to the hollow of the knee, and do
not lower the trousers any further until the user
has been placed on the toilet.
• When toileting, detach the toileting sling from the
spreader bar fixing points.
• After the toilet visit, hoist the user's trousers back
up over the knee cavity, hoist the user up and
then fully reattach the trousers.
3.4 Manoeuvring
Do not hoist the user higher than is
necessary to move the hoist.
If you want to drive, put the hoist in a half high position.
The spreader bar is also in a half sitting and half lying
position.
3.4.1 Manoeuvring the hoist
• Moving the hoist is easiest when the castors are in
the right direction (in line with the direction of
travel).
• Walk along with the hoist when moving.
• Push the hoist to its destination and only hoist it to
the required height to bring the user into the final
position.
• When moving the hoist, the legs can be in the wide
or narrow position. Preferably use the narrow
position to move.
3.4.2 Turning the hoist
• Avoid turning from the back when turning the
hoist. Stand on the side of the hoist while turning
and use the arm, spreader bar and legs to pull or
push.
• Hold the spreader bar or hoist arm with one hand
and the mast with the other.
• Start the rotation by pushing one foot against the
undercarriage.
• Continue the rotation with the arm resting on the
spreader bar and on the hoist arm to push the
hoist further.
3.5 Removing the user from the OpeMax Lite
Hoisting to a bed / chair
Move the user to the final intended position (lying or
sitting). Position the user as well as possible. Lower the
user.
• Make sure that the user is properly positioned in
the back of a chair.
• Do not put the hoist on the brake in order to be
able to position the user properly.
• Release all clips from the sling.
• Drive the hoist away.
• Remove the sling (unless a personal sling has
been used).
• If necessary, place the hoist on the charger after
use.

4.1.4 Annual inspection and maintenance
Once a year, the hoist must be inspected according to
NEN. This must be done by OpeMed or by another
authorised body. OpeMed offers you the possibility to
have your hoist thoroughly inspected once a year, by
means of the Periodic Inspection Agreement. The next
inspection date is shown on the service control sticker
(figure 4). This is always on the hoist, near the serial
number plate. For more information about this, please
contact OpeMed by telephone.
The service control sticker (figure 5) indicates the date on
which the next Periodic Inspection must be carried out on
the OpeMax Lite.
Chargers must also be inspected each year in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
