Welcome
Thank you very much for deciding to purchase a product of the company
SLK. It has been developed with care by experts and tested and manu-
factured in accordance with the applicable guidelines and standards.
The company SLK uses more than 80 percent green electricity gen-
erated on site exclusively from solar energy for production, chemo-
thermal conditioning, service and the remaining energy consumption. All
solar energy. This is how the company makes a -
tion to the energy transition and climate protection already today.
General Information
Before using the product, be sure to read the complete user guide.
This is how you can prevent errors due to a lack of information.
Sections with headings highlighted in bright blue primarily address
the operator (e.g., the medical supply store). Headings highlighted in
.dark blue address the user (e.g., the nurse). Medium blue means
it is intended for both addressees.
Contents colored orange are particularly important to safety.
The models of the SLK Multy product family are mobile Patient Hoists
for children, adults or heavy patients. These hoists are suitable for use in
home care, in nursing institutions or clinics. Combined with the cor-
responding SLK hoist slings, they can be used by a nurse to carefully
change the patient’s position while the patient is lying down or sitting
up, and it also suitable for use in wet areas.
In the development of our products, we place particular value on user
friendliness. This of course also applies to this user guide, which is
subject to continuous development and improvement. Therefore, you
should always consult the current version for your product, which you
slk-gmbh.de.

Concept of the SLK Multy
The SLK Multy is a modular hybrid hoist, which can be designed as an
active hoist and as a universal hoist. This is done by attachment of a
corresponding lifting arm and optional use of a footboard with shin
support.
Our idea behind this is to provide a unique hoist to our customers that can
also still be used as a highly functional active hoist when the patient still
has a given mobility. If needed or when the patient’s mobility decreas-
es later on, the same hoist can be converted in just a few steps into a
. For this purpose, the
SLK Multy Conversion Kit Aktiv and the SLK Multy Conversion Kit
Universal are available.
This saves you from buying a second hoist or a new hoist.
The SLK Multy has a telescopic mast to adjust its height optimally to
the respective function
the lower position of the mast is 340 mm.
If a footboard with shin support and an lifting arm Aktiv are
attached, the mast is locked in place at the bottom, and the hoist can
active hoist to erect patients by making good
use of a low lifting arm pivot point.
If the lifting arm Universal and a spreader bar are attached, the
mast is locked in its upper position. The SLK Multy Universal hoist
then makes good use of a high lifting arm pivot point to function as a
patient hoist.
Besides this, there is a middle position for special applications. In this
position, the hoist can be used as both an active hoist for large people
as well as a universal hoist for particularly small patients and children.
We have received rights protection for the functional principle of the
SLK Multy under a German utility patent (GPTO No.: 20 2017 003 987).

The model designation “e” at the end refers to the model with
electrical base expansion. Where information is given in this user
guide that applies to both universal models/active models, only
SLK Multy Universal/SLK Multy Aktiv is written; if information
is given that applies to all models, it is referred to SLK Multy in
general terms.

Intended Use and Reuse
The patient hoists of the SLK Multy product family are active medi-
The purpose of the SLK Multy Aktiv hoists is to provide support for the
patient when getting up, sitting down and being transferred while the
hoist is being operated by a nursing professional.
The purpose of the SLK Multy Universal hoists is providing support
to the nurse when changing positions, transferring and transporting
patients with restricted mobility inside of their residence.

patient, which cannot be tolerated by them in all clinical states
(e.g., spinal damages, advanced osteoporosis, unhealed bone fractures).

and their clinical state closely. If you have any doubts, please ask the
treating physician. If the patient’s body weight exceeds the indicated
maximum load, the SLK Multy must not be used.

device for training the patient to stand up or walk on their own.
The SLK Multy patient hoist is not suitable for use by the patient on

dence. These hoists are used when active hoists or transfer aids no lon-
ger do the job.

• The SLK Multy hoists may be used exclusively for the purpos-
es stated as the intended use. They are not approved for lifting
objects, and they are no toys. If this is disregarded, the hoist can be
damaged and accidents may happen. Never leave children unattend-
ed near the hoist.
• Do not exceed the permissible safe working load, which you can
be damaged and accidents may happen.

might overturn.
• Please ensure that no one is near the hoist (e.g., children) or pets
during the use. They might be put in danger and be injured or them-
selves obstruct and imperil the transport process.
• Before lifting the patient, ensure that the area of movement of the
lifting arm is clear and that it does not travel under door frames,
book shelves or similar. The force of the lifting arm may damage fur-

injury from being crushed or from objects falling down.
• For transferring the patient, hoist them up only as much as
needed. The lower the center of gravity, the greater the tilt
stability.

and avoid sudden changes of direction. The hoist may overturn if
you move it too fast.

Improper loads can damage the actuator.
• Never leave the patient unattended during the use. There is a risk
of accident.

that none of the loops of the hoist sling are entangled under
a hoist foot. The force of the actuator can damage the lifting arm,
causing a risk to the patient.
• The SLK Multy patient hoists are not suitable for use by the patient
on their own.
• This also applies to the charging of the battery pack by means of
the charger. While it is plugged into the charger, the user must
never touch the patient at the same time.
• The charger must be unplugged from the socket for cleaning and
disinfection!
• The hoist must not be used under running water, e.g., in a shower.
Penetrating moisture can damage the electronics.
• The annual maintenance of your SLK patient hoist, including
functions test with safe working load, must be conducted and docu-
mented by trained personnel at regular intervals. A hoist that does
not receive regular maintenance services harbors a latent safety risk.
