the warranty to lapse.
2.2 General safety instructions
Risk of injuries and/or damage
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Otherwise you may get injured or your
patient hoist may get damaged.
Keep the following general warnings in mind during use:
•The patient hoist must only be operated by qualified staff who have been instructed or trained
in its specific application.
•Do not exceed the maximum load for the patient hoist. This will shut down the control box.
•In case of different user weights for patient hoist and slings, always observe the lowest user
weight.
•An attendant needs to be present during the lifting operation.
•Be aware that some parts of the patient hoist may get very hot or cold due to ambient
temperature, solar radiation or heating devices. Be careful when touching.
•The patient hoist has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies with the
standard. Nevertheless, sources of electromagnetic fields may influence the performance of
the patient hoist, such as the fields of mobile phones, power generators or high-power energy
sources. On the other hand, the electronics of the patient hoist can affect other electronic
appliances too.
•Only use the patient hoist on flat surfaces where all castors touch the ground and where there
is sufficient contact to operate the patient hoist safely. Do not take obstacles with the patient
hoist while transferring a patient.
•Do not use the patient hoist in wet or humid environments.
•Alterations or substitutions should not be made to the patient hoist securement points or to
structural and frame parts or components without consulting the manufacturer.
•Make sure that your hands, clothes, belts, buckles or jewellery don’t get caught by wheels or

3.1 Operating the lift
Risk of injuries and/or damage
•When using the lift, make sure that there is sufficient room around and above it, as the
adjustment movements could otherwise lead to damage or injury.
•Always be aware of the lifting arm to avoid injury.
•Only slings that have been designed and approved for the patients must be used (see usage
instructions for the various slings). Use of any other slings is at your own risk.
•Only use the handles to push/pull the patient hoist, no other components.
Please observe the technical information according to which the patient hoists (620 or 625) may
be operated. The patient hoist must only be operated by authorised staff who have been trained
in its use and operation.
3.1.1 Altering the chassis width
To get the lift around a wheelchair or other seating
furniture, or to increase the stability of the lift in the
standing position, the separation of the chassis legs
can be increased.
Stand behind the assembled lift and take hold of the
handles for pushing the patient hoist (on the left and
right, next to the control box). Press the lever at the
bottom of the chassis (left or right) down with your foot,
and the separation of the legs of the chassis can be
increased or decreased.

3.3.2 Charging the batteries
Use only the battery charger supplied and no other charging equipment.
We recommend that you should regularly recharge the built-in control box batteries in order to
ensure that the hoist remains usable and to extend the lifespan of the batteries. The control box
will give the warning sound to tell you when the battery charge is too low.
Setting up the charger
When setting up the charger, ensure that it is well-ventilated on all sides. A minimum of 100 mm
space should be left free around the unit for this purpose. If the charger is insufficiently ventilated
so that the unit heats up, the charging rate will fall which will extend the charging time. If the
charger overheats (> +50°C), it will stop charging.
The charger should only be used from a wall socket with a voltage of 100 to 240V at 50/60Hz and
in well-ventilated, dry areas.

Clean plastic parts of your patient hoist with commercial plastic cleaners. Read the specific
product information and only use a soft brush or soft sponge.
5.3.2 Coating
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer
coat is damaged by scratching or in some other way, get your specialist dealer to repair the
affected surface.
When cleaning, only use warm water and normal household detergents and soft brushes and
cloths. Ensure that no wetness gets into the tubes.
5.3.3 Electronics casing
L WARNING: Risk of injury - The emergency stop must be activated before maintenance
work, so that no unintentional adjustment movements can be made.
Wipe the control box, motor casing and manual controls down with a cloth moistened by a few
drops of a commercial domestic cleaner. Do not use abrasives or sharp-edged polishing
equipment like a metal scrubber or brush, as these can scratch the surface of the manual control
and destroy its water repelling property.
Regularly check the plug connectors for corrosion or damage, as these could affect the functional
integrity of the electronics.
The manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by insufficient maintenance.
5.4 Disinfection
L WARNING: Dangerous Products - The use of disinfectants is restricted to authorized
personnel.
All parts of the patient hoist can be treated by scrubbing with a commercial disinfectant. Follow
the instructions on the disinfectant.
Washing instructions for slings can be found in the slings manual and on the label of each sling.
