1PURPOSE AND SAFETY
The tilting spreader bar is an add-on for the Luna IPx4 2 channel model. The tilting spreader bar
works as a dynamic positioning system (DPS) and will be referred to as DPS in this user guide.
The DPS is powered, meaning that it is operated by the Luna hand control. This allows for
powered patient positioning, resulting in less strain on the caregiver.
The DPS is rated for 275 kg.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the DPS is to ease the transition of a suspended person from (a) sitting position
to (b) lying down position. It also allows the caregiver to reposition the angle of the suspended
patient while in the sling to facilitate a more comfortable and optimal user position.
The DPS is suitable for all types of users, especially users having difficulty in reaching a 90-
degree sitting position, for example due to their medical condition.
After thorough cleaning the DPS can be used by multiple users (See 4.1).
NOTE: Do not use DPS for purposes other than originally intended.
1.2 Safety instructions
Important - Warning!
Read user manual and safety instructions before using the product.
•NEVER use the DPS if there are any indications of wear or suspicion of other defects on
the track systems, the Luna, accessories and the DPS itself. In such cases the DPS must be
taken out of service immediately and you must contact your dealer or Winncare Nordic.
•Take the necessary steps to ensure that neither caregiver nor patient can be injured
when carrying out lifts, transfers and tilts. Always check surroundings and move obstacles
out of the way.
•Always ensure that the sling is attached correctly, before lifting a patient.
NOTE: Read the user guide for Luna IPx4 before using the DPS.
1.3 Before use
The caregiver or user is responsible for making the following checks before use:
•The caregiver has received instructions or read the user manual for the DPS.
•Ensure that the annual service check has been carried out.
•If in doubt about how to use the DPS please contact your dealer or Winncare Nordic for
advice and guidance.

1) Lift the spreader bar. Hold the strap and depress
the safety spring-plate on the hook.
2) Attach the hook onto the attachment point on
the spreader bar and release the safety spring
plate.
3) Ensure that the hook is safely locked onto the
spreader bar attachment point.
4) Connect the DC cable to the Luna. The socket is
located on the side opposite the hand control
socket.
The DPS is ready for use if the instruction has been
followed correctly.
Detaching the DPS
1) Detach the DC cable
2) Press in the spring-plate on the hook.
3) Tilt the hook to detach the spreader bar.
2.2 Operating the DPS
Operating the DPS

3USING THE DPS
3.1 Compatible slings
Important - Warning!
Use only slings intended for the DPS.
The DPS is compatible with slings of the type “clip slings” as
seen on the right.
All 4 attachment points must be used to ensure the right
stability of the DPS.
Make sure all 4 clip fixings are mounted correctly on the
attachment points before carrying out a lift.
If in doubt contact Winncare Nordic for assistance choosing
the right sling.
3.2 Bed to chair
When lifting a patient from a bed the DPS should be
positioned in the lying position.
For a smooth transfer, the caregiver can use the bed’s
adjustment functions if available.
Position the patient in a semi-supine position and adjust the
DPS to place the patient in the best position. Doing this
allows easier access to the patient.
3.3 Chair to bed
When lifting a patient from a chair or similar the DPS
should be positioned in the sitting position.
If it is a wheelchair with an anti-tilt function, this can be
used to position the patient.
The DPS can be activated while attaching the sling to allow
easier access to the rear attachment points.
