About the product
Molift NOMAD is a portable ceiling lifter intended for lifting and transferring persons. The lifter is made out of light materials and has a battery.
It can be used in institutions with various needs, making it necessary to move the lifter between different rooms.
The lifter has intelligent electronics with soft start/ stop, and a counter to register the number of lift cycles.
Main parts
The lifter consists of a chassis with motor, lifting belt, electronics and battery. A rail system with a trolley is necessary for attachment of the lifter. The lifter has four hooks for attaching the sling with the user.
The lifter can be attached to the trolley directly, or by using an attachment arm. This makes it easy to move between the different rail systems. A climbing strap on the trolley makes it possible to climb from one rail system to another with a user suspended.
Safety devices
Molift NOMAD is equipped with several safety devices, which are intended to prevent personal injury or damage to equipment in the case of incorrect use.
• The lifter has an overload sensor which prevents the lifter from lifting too much. If the weight of the patient is too high, the lifter will stop.
• The lifting hooks are designed to prevent the lifting sling from falling off.
• Electrical system has a protection against overheating. If the temperature on the circuit card is too high, the lifter will stop, and you will have to wait until the temperature goes down.
• The lifter has a sensor which will stop the lifter if the lifting belt is not tight, to avoid it curling up.
• The electrical system registers the lifters operating time, and gives a signal when service is required.
• The battery lamp will illuminate when the lifter needs charging, and an audible signal will sound.
• The lifter features emergency stop and emergency lowering.

If the reason for failure causing an emergency lowering is unknown or if it is a result of failed component, contact your local service representative/dealer or Etac Supply Gjøvik.
Battery care
The batteries of the Molift NOMAD is a 26,4 V cell unit that is placed inside the chassis.
Operating the lifter
Connect the hand control cable to the plug on the back side of the lifter. The hand control has two buttons which gives the operator excellent control of the movement of the lifter up and down. Two buttons with the same function are placed on the right front side of the lifter.
The lifter has a battery light on the hand control which illuminates when the battery voltage drops below a certain level. If there is no hand control connected the battery light on the lifter will illuminate when battery level is low. There will also be an audible alarm, which indicates that the battery needs charging. There is still enough capacity to lower the patient.
Emergency stop and emergency lowering
All Molift lifters are equipped with emergency stop and lowering. The emergency stop button will cut the power to the motor, and is situated on the left front side of the chassis. Turn the button clockwise to reset. Charging and emergency lowering does not work if the emergency stop is activated.
If the battery is discharged during a lift, it is always enough power to lower the user down again.
It is possible to perform an emergency lowering in case of an electronic malfunction or uncontrolled stop. There is an emergency lowering button on the left front side of the chassis with a yellow seal.
Move the lifter to a suitable location to lower the user.
• Puncture the seal and press the emergency lowering button. The lifter will make a smoothly movement downwards.
• If the lifter don’t move, charge the battery, and try the emergency lowering button again. Do
not run the lifter when connected to the charger!
• If none of the actions above works, the user must be lowered manually. Call for assistance.
If the Molift Nomad is operated by the user alone, the Emergency Stop and Emergency lowering button is difficult to operate. Make sure to have a mobile telephone or other communication device available.

Periodic inspection
Molift recommends periodic inspection of the lifter once a year according to checklist on page

One checklist is to be filled in and signed for each lifter after inspection. The owner of the lifter is responsible for keeping the list for information.
