About the product

Molift Mover 205 is a mobile lifter intended for lifting and transferring persons to/from bed, floor, chair or similar, wheelchair and toilet. The lifter is made out of light-weight materials, has castors and is powered by a battery. It has electrically adjustable legs and a lifting capacity of as much as

205 kg. It is therefore ideal for institutional care settings but can also be used in privates homes and nursing homes. The lifter should only be used for transfers across short distances, such as between a chair and a bed or into bathroom/restroom and cannot replace a wheelchair or similar.

Main parts

The lifter is built around a chassis unit comprising a lifting column fixing unit, rear castors and spreading mechanism for legs. The adjustable legs are operated by an electrical motor and gives the operator a possibility to adjust the width of the lifter to different needs and situations. On the lifting column there is a drive handle and a battery holder. On the battery holder there is a connection for the hand control and an emergency stop button.

The lifting arm is joined to the top of the lifting column and the battery driven actuator provides

Lifting arm the lifting movement. At the end of the lifting arm, you will find the suspension with four hooks to attach the sling. The suspension rotates freely, allowing the Molift Mover 205 to be used at any angle.

Safety devices

Molift Mover 205 is equipped with several safety devices, which are intended to prevent damage to personnel and equipment in the case of incorrect use.

• The lifter has an overload sensor preventing the lifter to be operated with more than 205 kg.

• The lifting arm is hinged to prevent the arm and suspension from squeezing the patient if it is lowered too much. The actuator will not produce any force when moving downwards.

• The suspension has safety hooks to prevent the sling loops to fall off.

• When activating the emergency stop button, the power supply will be disconnected, and the lifter will stop.

• If an error occurs on the lifter, it is possible to lower the lifting arm electrically on the battery holder or manually by operating the emergency lowering switch on top of the column.

• The lifter has a service lamp which gives a signal when the lifter needs service.

Assembly / disassembly

To be able to operate the Molift Mover 205, the operator must have good knowledge of the lift, including assembly, disassembly and preparation before use.

• Make sure that the red arrow on the lower part of the column corresponds with the edge on the chassis. Fix the column with the lock handle. If the column is not placed correct the lifter will not work.

Assembly and use of charger

It is possible to mount the charger on a wall surface or place it on a table. The charger shall be connected to the power outlet when the battery is placed in the charger.

Lock handle

Etac AS tests and charges all batteries before packing and shipment. However, all batteries must be charged before use.

Unpacking

• The lifter comes in one cardboard box. Verify that the box has no apparent damage. If damaged, check the content and contact your dealer for assistance if components are damaged.

• The box contains one complete Mover lifter with hand control, battery and battery charger with mains cable.

The lifter can be stored and transported under the following conditions: Pressure: 70 to 106 kPa. Relative humidity: 15 to 93% . Temperature: –25 to 70°C

• Connect the hand control cable to the contact on the underside of the battery holder. The hand control has a hook that makes it possible to hang it on the drive handle or the plastic hooks on the column.

• Place the battery in the holder with the connectors facing down. Release the emergency stop and run each function of the lifter a couple of times without load to verify proper function.

• Mount the suspension by turning the opening in the end cover upwards, and slide the attachment fork in place (as shown below).

Assembly

• The chassis should be rolled out of the box.

The battery must not be in the battery holder during assembly!

• Place the column in the attachment on the chassis, and push the column down as shown below. The screw in front of the column shold fit in the slot inside the chassis.

• The suspension can only be released in the upper position. When the suspension is hanging free it is locked to the arm.

Etac AS tests all lifters with and without load before shipment. The control is an extra precaution to uncover any shipment damage and/or incorrect assembly.

Battery care and charging

The lifters electronic system will be active as long as the battery is connected. It is therefore recommended to remove the battery or activate the emergency stop button when storing the lifter.

Molift Mover 205 is supplied with a battery with a 26,4 V cell unit that is placed in the battery holder on the lift. A battery charger is also supplied to be located easily accessible, either stand-alone or mounted on the wall. Connect the charger mains cable to the wall socket when charging the battery.

Checklist before use

• Check that the lifter has no apparent damage or other faults, especially that the suspension has no damage or cracks.

• Ensure that the lifting arm and lifting column are properly fixed and that there is no loose parts on the lifter. The lifting column must be fixed tight in the chassis attachment.

• Check that the emergency button is deactivated and that the lifter works.

• Check that you have sufficiently charged batteries to complete the task you have planned.

• Check that the service lamp gives a green light indicating it is ready for use. If the service lamp gives a yellow or red light, the lifter needs service.

The charger has a LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicating the status of the battery as described below:

Disassembly

The lifter can be disassembled in three parts by removing the suspension, and then the lifting column with arm from the chassis.

Place the battery in the charger. After a few seconds the LED will change from yellow to orange, indicating that the battery is charging. When the

LED gives a constant green light the battery is fully charged.

• Remove the suspension.

• Run the lifting arm all the way down towards the lifting column.

• Remove the battery.

• Release the lock handle on the chassis and remove the complete lifting column with lifting arm.

Disconnect the charger mains cable when the charger is not used. Take care not to damage the charger

The battery lifetime is about 500 charging cycles.

The complete lifting column and lifting arm weights approx. 20 kg (without suspension).

Page 9 of 24

Lift and transfer

The suspension shall always be positioned across the user as shown left in the illustration below.

Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven surfaces or other obstacles that may block the castors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over.

The lifter shall only be used for movement over short distances. It is not a replacement for wheelchair or similar.

Use of spread legs

Use wide legs wherever appropriate, for instance to position the lifter around wheelchairs, toilets etc.

When using slings intended for two point suspension, the suspension shall be used diagonally, i.e. loops from the sling shall be fastened on hooks diagonally opposite.

The leg spreading mechanism has a safety function preventing it from sqeezing with high force. This may lead the motor to stop if changing direction quicly. Push another button to start again.

Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure that all four loops of the sling are securely fastened to avoid the user slipping or falling.

Using lifting slings

The Molift lifting slings are easy to use. Please see the user manual that comes with the sling for specific instructions.

It is recommended to use Molift Easy slings.

Slings from other manufacturers may have other specifications leading to unexpected instability and possible injury to personnel.

Try to position the user as low as possible (preferably resting the feet on the chassis) when transferring the lifter with a suspended user. In this way, the centre of gravity will be as low as possible and therefore reducing the risk of instability. The lifter should be manoeuvred with spread legs in outer position to achieve the highest possible stability.

Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, resulting in serious injury to the user. Use slings in good condition only. Destroy and discard old, unusable slings.

Molift Easy sling

Be careful during movement - the suspended user may swing somewhat during turns, stops and starts. Be particularly careful when manoeuvring close to furniture to prevent the suspended user from colliding with these objects.

The lifter shall not be used to lift or move users on sloping surfaces.

Page 10 of 24 BM05101 Molift Mover 205 English - Rev. J/ 10/2012

Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs as shown.

Fold the sling as indicated above before use. The grey side should be facing away from the user when putting the sling in place. The sling should be held by one hand, leaving the other free to move and support the user.

Cross the loops, one through the other.

Lift and movement to and from bed

Lift from bed

If the user has a bed which enables raising and lowering, it should be lowered before the lifting starts.

Roll user onto her side. Put the folded sling behind her back. The centre of the sling should be parallel with the users spine. Roll her then onto her back.

Position the legs under the bed with the suspension over the user. Be careful not to lower the suspension too low touching the user. Make sure that the suspension is centred over the user before you start the lifting. Remember - the castors should not be locked.

Page 11 of 24

Lift to bed

When all four loops are hooked onto the suspension, raise the user carefully.

Centre the user over the bed and turn her so that the feet point to the foot end of the bed. Lower the user carefully. Remove the loops from the suspension.

If the user is in a hospital bed, it will help to raise the head of the bed

Repositioning of the user may be needed to ensure that a safe and comfortable sitting position is attained as the user is raised. Reposition using the handle on the back of the sling.

Removing the sling

Gently pull leg section to the side, out from the user’s thighs and towards yourself. Pull the shoulder section under the neck of the user and roll her gently onto her side. Pull the sling away and roll her onto her back.

Be careful when rolling the user onto her side.

Make sure you have control over the movement to prevent her from rolling completely over and out of the bed.

Raise the user until the buttocks are just above the mattress. Lift the user’s legs and turn her so she faces the lifting column. When clear of bed, and if practical, lower the user so that her feet rest on the chassis. If possible, lower the bed before lifting.

Move the lifter away from bed.

Lift and transfer to and from floor

Lift and transfer from the floor is almost identical to a lift and transfer from bed - please read this section. There are two ways to lift from the floor.

Alternative lift 1

Beware of obstructions under the bed that can cause castors to stop or tip

Page 12 of 24 BM05101 Molift Mover 205 English - Rev. J/ 10/2012

Place the sling as if in bed. Gently position the lifting column between the legs of the user as shown above. The suspension shall be centred over the user.

Lift and transfer to and from (wheel)chair

Lift and transfer from (wheel)chair

Fold the sling as described in ”Using lifting slings”

Lower the suspension enough to allow the sling loops to be hooked up.

If the users physique and ability allows it, the user should be encouraged to take active part in fitting the sling. The user can lean forward, lift her thighs and help placing the leg section.

Raise the user from the floor. Position user in the sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling.

Turn user to face the lifting column, and place the feet on the chassis.

Alternative lift 2

A floor based lift may also be performed by gently positioning the users head on the chassis. Use a pillow if appropriate to protect the head and neck of the user. Otherwise as alternative 1.

Lean the user forward gently, but ensure you continue to support her. Place the folded sling behind the user’s back and push it down until it touches the seat of the chair.

Lowering to floor

Place a pillow on the chassis or on the floor to protect the users head and neck (not necessary if you are using a sling with head support). Otherwise as described above.

The leg sections of the sling are pulled forward and beneath the user’s thighs by the loops. The loops are then crossed, one through the other, as shown.

Page 13 of 24

Removal of sling

Gently pull leg section to the side, out from the user’s thighs. Standing by the side of user, lean her forward - supporting with one hand. Pull sling up from behind her back.

Move the lifter around chair.

If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the brakes must be locked to prevent the wheelchair from rolling away.

Raise/lift user above seat height, and perform the transfer. It is not necessary to lift the person very high.

Lift and transfer to (wheel)chair

Manoeuvre the lifter so that the user is as far back in the (wheel)chair as possible.

Pulling sharply on sling may cause user to fall forward resulting an injury. Always support the user by keeping one arm around the user’s shoulder when fitting or removing the sling

(see illustration).

If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the brakes must be locked to prevent the wheelchair from rolling away.

If the users physique and ability allows it, the user should be encouraged to take active part in fitting the sling. The user can lean forward, lift her tights and help placing the leg section.

When lowering, you can use the following techniques or a combination of them to position and get the user seated far back in the chair.

• push gently on the knees

• pull the loop on the back of the sling

• tilt the chair slightly backwards

Bathing

The procedure for lifting to/from the bath is in principle the same as for to/from bed. A special bathing sling is used for this purpose. This sling dries quickly and may be washed at 85°C.

Lower the user into chair, unhook sling from suspension and remove the lifter.

Page 14 of 24 BM05101 Molift Mover 205 English - Rev. J/ 10/2012

Toileting

By pulling the leg sections from the inside and out, you will achieve a wider leg position.

The Molift Easy Toilet Sling is used with the standard 4-point suspensions.

Molift Easy Toilet sling is a toilet sling with a thicker and wider upholstery. It is also available with head-support. The Molift Easy Toilet Comfort sling is easier to fit in narrow environments, and is available with a separate head support

On Molift Easy Toilet Comfort, place the leg section over and down between the thighs and pull outwards from the inner part of the thighs.

The toilet sling can be washed at 85 ºC, and is fitted as follows:

• Insert the sling behind the users back with the grey side away from user.

• Fasten the belt firmly around the user’s body.

• Place the leg section under the front part of the thighs and pull the loops up between the thighs.

By pulling the leg sections from the outside and in, you will achieve a wider leg position.

The leg sections of Molift Easy Toilet Comfort

Sling are fitted to separate the legs, therefore they should not be crossed as the other Easy slings.

• Hook the four loops on the suspension as for other slings.

• Position the lifter around the toilet and lower the user.

• Pull the leg sections out of the way. The sling can be left on during bathroom use.

Maintenance

Daily maintenance

Detergents must be pH-neutral. Do not use solvents or strong liquids - this may damage surfaces on the lifter and change the quality of the material. For disinfection when needed; use isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive or etching cleaning products.

Choice of sling size depends on both user weight and shape/size of user.

Clean surfaces with a damp cloth using an appropriate detergent.

Make sure that there is no damage or cracks on supporting parts. The suspension shall not be used if there are any visible damages or cracks as it may cause personal injury or damage to the lifter.

Monthly maintenance

• Check the lifter, and the suspension especially, for damage. Make sure there is no loose parts on the lifter

• Remove hair and pile from the castors and verify that the castors rotates without abnormal friction

• Verify that the contacts of the hand control is firmly in place, and that the battery fits correctly in the battery holder.

• Clean contact and hand control with spirit or similar to remove grease and dirt

• Verify that the cables for the hand control and charger are intact

• Run the lifter up and down, and legs in and out to verify that it runs normally and without any abnormal noise.

Periodic inspection

Etac AS recommends annual inspection according to the checklist on page 22. The inspection is to be done by an authorized service representative.

The owner of the lifter is responsible to ensure that one checklist is filled out and signed for each inspection, and for keeping the checklist.

Service

Molift Mover 205 has a LED on the battery holder indicating if the lifter needs service. The LED gives a green light when the lifter is ready for use.

Troubleshooting

If you have access to other similar lifters, it might be an advantage to “switch parts” in order to locate the error. See the table for troubleshooting:

The electronics has a power save-function which makes the system sleep after a while with no activity. All lights will go out. Activate the system by pushing one of the buttons on the hand control.

Service lamp

The electronics logs how much the lifter is being used, and the load it is used with. After a given time of usage there will be given a signal that the lifter needs service to the service LED. The LED will first give a yellow light, then red. Take contact with your local service representative and order service.

If there is a sound together with the light, it means the lifter needs service immediately.
