15
How to Use the Maxi Sky
1000
Ceiling Lift
NOTE: The Maxi Sky 1000 is equipped with a safety system to prevent a misuse of the ceiling lift. If the lift is used above the amount specified by the duty cycle, a heat detection system will signal the processor to block the lifting of a load until the temperature of the transmission cools down. In the meantime, it will still be possible to activate the horizontal displacement and down functions. When the overheat protection is engaged, the red light will stay on during the cooling period.
In addition, a buzzer will sound if the UP button is pressed. The cooling period is between 10 to 30 minutes depending on ambient conditions.
Return to Charge (RTC)
The RTC function is disabled by default. To activate this function, please refer to the “Maxi Sky 1000
Programming” section in this manual.
To engage the RTC function, press on the return to charge button on the handset for 3 seconds. The spreader bar will raise all the way up to avoid any obstacles during the run. When the lift is at the charging station, the spreader bar lowers by itself to the preselected height so as to be easily accessible.
NOTE: You can stop the return to charge at any time by pressing any button on the handset or pulling on the red emergency cord. Moreover, a weight detector prevents the RTC from functioning while a person is in the lift.
Emergency Stop (red cord)
The emergency stop can be activated at any time to stop the functioning of the ceiling lift.
1) To stop the ceiling lift in any emergency, gently pull the red emergency cord once, until you hear a “click” (see Fig. 4 in the “Part Designation” section of this manual).
CAUTION: Do not pull the red emergency cord with excessive force. If the cord is jerked too hard, the ceiling lift may become inoperable.
2) To reactivate the ceiling lift, pull the red cord gently once. A green light confirms that the
Maxi Sky 1000 is on and ready for use.
Emergency Lowering
In the unlikely event of an electrical failure, the
Maxi Sky 1000 has an emergency manual lowering feature.
CAUTION: The Emergency lowering feature is to be used only in case of emergency.
If the ceiling lift malfunctions when a patient is being transferred, the emergency lowering device provides a safe way of getting the patient down onto a chair, bed or wheelchair (see
1) Pull the red emergency cord .
2) Remove the little black cap located on each side of the lift.
3) Find the 8 mm Allen key that came with the ceiling lift.
Insert the Allen key deep into the axle .
Turn it counterclockwise in order to lower the patient. Each turn of the key will slowly lower the patient. Repeat on the other side of the lift.
4 Turn the Allen key counter-clockwise to slowly lower the patient. Repeat on the other side of the lift.
Once the patient is lowered and secure within a chair, bed or wheelchair, call a qualified technician to inspect the ceiling lift.
Emergency Brake
The emergency brake is an additional safety feature that automatically prevents the patient from falling in the unlikely event that of a transmission or motor failure.

Battery Information
The life cycle (number of charging cycles) of the batteries is largely dependent on the depth of discharge within each cycle. The more the batteries are drained, the shorter their overall life span. The life of the batteries is also related to such factors as varying temperatures and rest periods between when they are charged and discharged.
NOTE: To prolong battery life, return the ceiling lift to the charger whenever the ceiling lift is not in use. If the low battery indicator beeps, and a green light flashes, be sure to recharge the batteries as soon as possible. Charge the batteries until the charging indicator light is a solid amber before using the lift again. This will extend the life of the batteries.
NOTE: ArjoHuntleigh uses sealed leadacid batteries. These batteries do not have any memory effect. Therefore, batteries should not be completely drained before recharging.
CAUTION: Never leave a ceiling lift with the power on for an extended period of time without returning it to the charger. The batteries will be drained and damaged.
See Fig. 9 for a graph illustrating the relationship
between the number of lifts versus the load being lifted.
Indicator Lights
The ceiling lift and the charging system have many indicator lights. It is important to understand their significance for the proper use and comprehension of
the ceiling lift (see Fig. 10).
Charging the Batteries
WARNING: Do not operate the charger unit with a damaged cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
Do not bend the power cord by force, or place a heavy object on it. This will damage the cord and may cause fire or electrical shock.
The steps for recharging the batteries are as follows:
1) Press the return to charge button on the handset.
A protection device prevents the ceiling lift from returning to the charger if a patient is in the ceiling lift during this operation.
2) The green indicator light will begin flashing if batteries are low and need to be recharged. If the light does not turn on, verify the
“Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
3) The amber indicator light will flash when the ceiling lift cassette has returned to the charger and the batteries are being charged. Once the charge is complete the light will stop flashing and become a solid amber light.
WARNING: Batteries need to be charged for a minimum of 8 hours prior to the initial use of the lift.

If the batteries have been completely drained it could take up to 6-8 hours to completely recharge them. In order to reduce the charging time, refrain from completely draining the batteries and leave the ceiling lift on the charging station between uses.
Use of Slings
Spreader Bar
WARNING: The Maxi Sky 1000 comes with a four-hook spreader bar and must be used only with BHM bariatric slings, as indicated in the list of accessories.
Programming the Ceiling
Lift
The Maxi Sky
1000
can be programmed so that the user can easily adjust the speed of the horizontal movement, the spreader bar height and the return to charge parameters of the ceiling lift. To learn about the programming mode, see the “Maxi Sky
1000
Programming Guide” on pages 24-26 of this manual.
WARNING: Spreader bars must only be installed by a qualified person.
Using the FIDO Function
(Pre-Programmed
Positions)
WARNING: This function can only be activated by a qualified technician.
1) Using the pre-programmed positions allows the unit to detect stations (positions) located along the track path. The unit will go to the indicated position by using the handset.
2) To do so, indicate to the unit the desired position to go to. For an example, to go to the third station push three times on the PROG button followed by the direction ( LEFT or RIGHT buttons).
Then the unit will go by itself to the requested station and stay on hold there.
If the position you asked for is not correct, you may stop the ceiling lift at any time by pressing any button on the handset. From this position, reprogram the ceiling lift to the new desired position. Count the number of stations from where you are and indicate the direction to go.
WARNING: Before using the Maxi Sky 1000 , always ensure the strap attachment pin is installed correctly through the spreader bar socket and lift strap, and that the split ring is correctly inserted through the hole
Before Approaching the Patient
Attendants should always tell the patient what they are about to do. Make sure to have on hand a sling that is of the correct model and of adequate size for transfer with the Maxi Sky 1000 unit.
To Lift a Patient from a Bed
The lifting technique described here can be used for reclining patients regardless of where they may be lying: on the bed or on the floor of the exercise area.
WARNING: It is vital to always check that the sling attachment loops are correctly attached and remain in tension as the weight of the patient is gradually taken up.
1) Roll the patient towards you, fold the sling in half and place it on the bed, along the back of the
patient (see Fig. 11 and Fig. 12).
Ensure that the sling is positioned so that when rolled back, the patient will lie in the center of the sling. Also check that the head support area of the sling lies directly beneath the neck of the patient.
2) Roll the patient back onto the sling and then slightly further in the opposite direction, so that the folded part of the sling can be unfolded from beneath the patient..

4) Using the handset, lower the spreader bar and connect the sling shoulder strap loops, taking care not to lower the frame onto the patient.
5) The straps must be brought under the thighs. This may involve lifting one leg at a time, and may
WARNING: To avoid the patient swinging excessively during lifting, the lift strap should be as vertical as possible, immediately prior to the lift.
Proceed with the patient transfer to a chair as in section “To lift from a Chair”, or place the patient onto a bed, (reversing the above procedure), by moving and then lowering the patient into the desired position.
When the patient’s body weight is fully supported, detach the leg strap loops, then the shoulder connections.
Move the spreader bar away before removing the sling from under the patient.
To lift a Patient from a chair
The lifting techniques described here, and represented in the images in following pages, can be used for seated patients regardless of where they may be seated (e.g. on the edge of a bed, in a chair, wheelchair or similar).
1) Place the sling around the patient so that the base of his/her spine is covered, and the head support area of the sling is behind the head.
Pull each leg strap under the thigh so that it
emerges on the inside of the thigh (Fig. 13).

3) During the transfer, turn the patient to face the direction of travel, and keep at a normal chair height This affords the patient a measure of confidence and dignity. The patient should not be lifted above the caregiver’s eye-level; this can lessen the impression of height that may confuse the patient. Support the patient to stop excessive swinging and to give a feeling of added security.
4) Proceed with the patient transfer to a chair, or place the patient onto a bed, by moving and then lowering the patient into the desired position
Fig. 13
2) Ensure that all four strap loops are securely connected, then raise the patient using the handset.The head support area of the sling should now come into use. This is the most comfortable position for the patient transfer, as it reduces pressure on the patient’s thighs. The angle of recline can be increased for the comfort of more restless patients, when lowering the patient back into a chair
or transferring to a chair from the bed (Fig. 14).

When lifting from the floor, some operators prefer to connect the leg strap loops first (this in particular applies to patients with large thighs). To use this method, raise the hip and knee into maximum flexion and hook up the leg strap loops.
3) Attach the shoulder strap attachment loops. It will probably be easier to attach the longest loops.
4) When all the connectors are securely attached, raise the patient from the floor in a semi-
recumbent position (see Fig. 16).
Note: To avoid the patient swinging excessively during lifting, the lift strap should be as vertical as possible, immediately prior to the lift.
The patient may then be positioned in a chair, or placed on a bed. patients with extensor spasm may be lifted by the Maxi Sky 1000 , but special attention should be paid to supporting the patient's legs during the early part of the transferring process.
Procedure for Using Bariatric Loop
Slings
The slings to be used with the four-point spreader bar are the ArjoHuntleigh bariatric loop slings. They are available in four sizes (medium, large, extra large and XXL) all colour coded. A range of more specialised slings are available. Please contact
ArjoHuntleigh or their authorised distributors for details. The correct size sling will support the shoulders.
Procedure for Attaching Bariatric
Loop Slings to the Four-Point
Spreader Bar
WARNING: When attaching a loop sling to the four-point spreader bar, always ensure the sling attachment loops are positioned correctly into the
retaining hooks (see Fig. 17).
When the patient has been returned to the bed he/she maybe reclined before the sling is detached from the spreader bar.

Care and Maintenance
Daily Checklist
The following procedures must be followed before each use:
• Charge the batteries. Park the lift on the charger station whenever the lift is not in use.
• Inspect the lift for any damage. If the lift casing does not look properly aligned, or there are any cracks or other damage on the lift, or there are parts missing, do not use it. Contact your Arjo-
Huntleigh representative to have the lift serviced.
• Inspect the strap for any visible signs of wear, frays, loose threads or other damage. If there is any evidence of damage, do not use it. Contact your local ArjoHuntleigh representative to have the lift serviced.
• Inspect the sling for tears, frayed straps or loose stitching. If the sling has any of the above damage, do not use it. Contact your local ArjoHuntleigh representative to have the sling replaced or repaired.
• Inspect the spreader bar for any signs of cracking or damage.
• Ensure the split ring and cotter pins that attach the spreader bar to the strap are secured.
WARNING: Always reinstall the rail end stoppers (if removed) after servicing.
Strap Inspection
If the strap is damaged or shows signs of wear or discoloration, the acceptable load on the strap before rupture can drop rapidly and present a danger for the patient or caregiver. ArjoHuntleigh recommends a thorough inspection of the straps every 2 months as follows:
1) Completely unwind the strap.
2) Look for any signs of wear or discoloration (see
Loose threads in stitched areas
Noticeable discoloration
(strap color is lighter than color in the stitched area)
Edge wear (fraying)
Middle wear
WARNING: Before each use, make sure all end stoppers are in place and secured.
Inspection and Cleaning
To clean the Maxi Sky
1000
, wipe it down with a damp cloth using warm water and a disinfectant cleaner. Disinfectant wipes, supplied already impregnated with a 70% v/v solution of isopropyl alcohol, can also be used.
Rub the lift vigorously when using the wipes, to promote an effective disinfection of its entire surface.
Do not use phenol, chlorine or any other type of solvent that may damage the finish.
To ensure a better rolling surface for the trolley wheels, clean the inside of the track every 4 months.
To do so, insert a damp cloth in the opening and slide it from one end of the track to the other.
Fig. 21
WARNING: If there is any sign of wear as indicated above or any other visual defects, the strap must be inspected by qualified personnel and changed if required. By continuing to use the lift without changing a damaged strap, the safety of the caregiver or patient is greatly compromised.
NOTE: The manufacturer recommends changing the strap at least every two years.
By continuing to use the lift without changing the strap, the safety of the caregiver or patient is greatly compromised.
30
Care and Maintenance
Handling and Storage
Avoid violent impacts while transporting the lift.
The lift should not remain stored for long periods of time without recharging the batteries.
2) Make sure that there is contact between the contact blades of the lift and the contact plates of the charging station.
3) Check the power of the AC outlet on the wall.
4) If the charge station’s green light does not light up, contact your local ArjoHuntleigh representative for assistance.
NOTE: Even if the lift is not used,
ArjoHuntleigh recommends charging the batteries at least every two weeks. This will prevent premature aging of batteries.
If you store or ship the Maxi Sky 1000 , ensure that the power is turned off (green light) beforehand.
Sling Inspection and
Care
For maximum patient safety and hygiene, read the following instructions:
Battery Replacement
ArjoHuntleigh uses sealed lead-acid batteries in the
Maxi Sky 1000 ceiling lifts. ArjoHuntleigh batteries do not have any memory effect. Therefore, batteries should not be completely discharged before recharging.
Verification of the Charger’s Power
Source
If the light does not illuminate when there are batteries correctly installed in the Maxi Sky
1000
, try the following:
Regular Inspections
It is essential that the slings, their straps, and loops are carefully inspected before each and every use. If the slings, loops or straps are frayed, the sling should be withdrawn from use immediately and replaced.
Replace the battery when there is a noticeable reduction in the number of transfers that can be performed between charges. If you hear the
Maxi Sky 1000 lift beeping and notice a red light flashing, see the instructions in the
“Troubleshooting” section of this manual to determine if it is a problem with the battery.
To replace batteries, be sure to contact your local
ArjoHuntleigh representative.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use a battery that was not supplied by ArjoHuntleigh.
ArjoHuntleigh batteries are specially designed for ArjoHuntleigh charging systems. Attempting to use an unauthorized battery may seriously damage the lift and/or the charger.
Sling Laundering
WARNING: The slings should be checked before and after use and, if necessary, washed according to instructions on the sling. This is especially important when using the same equipment for another patient. This minimizes the risk of cross infection.
Before washing the slings equipped with head support pockets, always remove the plastic reinforcement inserts. Always refit the inserts before reusing the sling.
Mechanical pressure should be avoided during the washing and drying procedure (e.g. rolling or pressing), as these can damage parts vital to the safe and comfortable operation of the sling.
The stretcher cross straps and suspension straps should be checked and washed if necessary. Washing and drying temperatures must not exceed 80°C
(176°F). Wash using normal detergents and do not iron.
1) Make sure that the charger is correctly plugged into the AC outlet, and that the green light on the clip-on charging station is on.
31
Care and Maintenance
NOTE: With regard to laundering, slings should not be classified as linen, but as an accessory to a patient transfer lifting and therefore classified as a medical device.
Slings should be cleaned and disinfected only in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Annual Inspection
The Maxi Sky 1000 and its accessories must be inspected annually by a qualified technician.
Sky
1000
and accessories must be serviced every 12 months as a minimum requirement. Do not attempt to do the inspection unless you are qualified to do so.
Maintenance Requirements
The Maxi Sky
1000
is equipped with an electronic monitor that causes a red light to flash when a maintenance inspection is necessary. Arranging for scheduled inspections ensures the durability of the unit and the security of the patient and user.
Once this red light begins to flash, please contact your local ArjoHuntleigh representative in order to perform the necessary maintenance inspection.
32
Troubleshooting
WARNING: Do not attempt to open the Maxi Sky 1000 ceiling lift cassette. Only a qualified technician is authorized to open it.
Alterations made to the Maxi Sky 1000 ceiling lift cassette by someone other than a qualified technician may cause serious injury.
PROBLEM
The red “service” light is on and flashing.
TO CHECK
The red light is solid.
• Contact your local ArjoHuntleigh representative to do maintenance.
• The ceiling lift cassette is under its overheat protection. Wait between
10 to 30 minutes until the red light turns off and press on the UP button to use the ceiling lift cassette again.
• If the load is over a safe working load, the unit will not work due to the overload protection on the motor.
The unit starts and stops repetitively.
The ceiling lift cassette emits a beep during utilization. The unit may stop lifting but the lowering function can still be used.
The charger indicator (amber) on the ceiling lift cassette does not light up when the lift is on the charger.
When returning to charge, the ceiling lift cassette passes the clip- on the charging station, or goes in the wrong direction.
Batteries are always dead after only a few transfers (3 to 5).
•
• Batteries are low. Return the ceiling lift cassette to the charging station.
Check that the charger is plugged into a standard outlet, and that the outlet has power. The green light on the clip-on charging station indicates that it is functioning.
• Clean the contact blades of the charging station with mild detergent.
Pass the ceiling lift cassette through the charging station manually once, then retry the return to charger function.
• Verify the function of the ceiling lift charger and the contact plates on the clip-on charging station.
• Replace batteries with new ones. The life of the current batteries could be almost finished. It is important to always change both batteries at the same time. Contact your local ArjoHuntleigh representative to have the batteries replaced.
The amber light on the unit is solid, yet the ceiling lift cassette will only perform one or two transfers.
The amber light on the unit is solid, yet the ceiling lift will only work when there is no one on the lift.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
