Assembly / disassembly
To be able to operate the lift, the operator must have
good knowledge of the lift, including assembly, disassembly and preparation before use.
Ensure that the lifting column is properly
fixed and that the locking handle at the base
of the lifting column is properly tightened.
Disassembly

shall be connected to the power outlet at all times.
Molift AS tests and charges all batteries before packing and shipment. However, all batteries must be charged before use.
Assembly
• Open the bag (if used) and lift out the lifter
• Remove the transport elastic and spread the legs
to initial operating position
• Lift up and rotate the lifting column and press it
down into the bracket as shown in the illustration
below (1).
• Remove the battery from the lifter to avoid it
falling out during transportation.
The control electronics are active as long as
the battery is placed in the holder. If the lifter
is to be stored for a longer period, the battery
should then be removed (or emergency stop
activated) to avoid unnecessary discharge of
the battery.
• Open the locking handle, lift up the lifting column (grab with both hands and lift straight up)
and rotate it to transport position.
• Fix the lifting column in place by rotating the
locking handle down (2).
• Insert the battery into the battery holder and verify that the emergency stop button isn’t activated.
• Lift the suspension out of the transport hook and
raise the lifting arm up to desired working elevation.
Do not start to run the lifting arm before the
suspension is released!
Checklist before use
• Check that the lifter has no apparent damage or
other faults
• Check that you have sufficiently charged batteries to complete the task you have planned
The lifter can be split into two parts by lifting
the column from the chassis completely. The
lifting column/-arm and the chassis with legs
are then separate parts.
Be careful not to get legs/arms/hands wedged
between the parts when folding down the lifting column/-arm.
• Fasten the hand control to the driving handle
• Press the legs together and secure legs and lifting
column/-arm with the transport elastic.
• Put the lifter into the bag.

will cut the power to the actuator, and is situated on
the battery holder on the lifting column. Turning it
clockwise until it pops out will reset the emergency
button.
It is possible to perform an emergency lowering of
the lifting arm in case of a general malfunction of
the control electronics. The button can be found on
the battery holder under a yellow sticker seal. If you
need to perform an emergency lowering, move the
lifter to a suitable location to lower the user.
• Press the emergency stop button and leave it.
• Puncture the seal and press the emergency lowering button. The lifting arm will then perform a
smooth downward movement.
• If the lifter still do not work, change battery and
try the emergency lowering procedure again.
• If it still does not work, the suspended user must
be lifted out manually. Request assistance.
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.
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

The lifter shall not be used to lift or move users on sloping surfaces.
Handle for
manually lowering
Pull the red handle slightly upwards. Take
care, the lifter moves faster when activating
the handle more. The lifter will stop dead with a danger of personal injury and damage on the lifter if the handle is released
suddenly.
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.
Page of 24
Use of spread legs
Sling without head support
Use wide legs wherever appropriate, for instance to
position the lifter around wheelchairs, toilets etc.
• To spread the legs, - press (pump) the right pedal
on the chassis.
• To narrow the legs, press (pump) the left pedal.
Sling with head support
Using lifting slings
The Easy lifting slings are, as the name indicates,
easy to use. They are washable at 80º C and autoclave at 85 ºC for 30 minutes. The plastic insert of
the head support should be removed before washing.
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.
Please see the user manual that comes with
the sling for spesific instructions.
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
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.

Lift and movement to and from bed
Lift from bed
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.
If the user has a bed which enables raising
and lowering, it should be lowered before the
lifting starts.
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.
Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs as
shown.
When all four loops are hooked onto the suspension,
raise the user carefully.
If the user is in a hospital bed, it will help to
raise the head of the bed
Cross the loops, one through the other.
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.
Page 11 of 24
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
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.
Beware of obstructions under the bed that
can cause castors to stop or tip
Lift to bed
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.
Lower the suspension enough to allow the sling
loops to be hooked up.
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.
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.
Raise the user from the floor. Position user in the
sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling.
Be careful when rolling the user onto her Turn user to face the lifting column, and place the

E Rev. H/ 09/2006
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.
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.
Lift and transfer to and from (wheel)chair
Lift and transfer from (wheel)chair
Fold the sling as described in ”Using lifting slings”
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.
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.
Move the lifter around chair.
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.
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.
Page 13 of 24
Lift and transfer to (wheel)chair
Manoeuvre the lifter so that the user is as far back in
the (wheel)chair as possible.
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.
If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the
brakes must be locked to prevent the wheelchair from rolling away.

Toileting
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.
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
The toilet sling can be washed at 80 ºC, and is fitted
as follows:
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).

• Insert the sling behind the users back with the
grey side away from user.
• Fasten the belt firmly around the user’s body.
E Rev. H/ 09/2006
• Place the leg section under the front part of the
thighs and pull the loops up between the thighs.
Alternative
By pulling the leg sections from the outside
and in, you will achieve a wider leg position.
• On Molift Easy Toilet Comfort, place the leg section over and down between the thighs and pull

At times with increasing demand for efficiency in the healthcare sector and growing
focus on patients needs, it is easy to neglect the needs of the carer. The need to give
better help and caring avoiding heavy lifting situations, avoiding putting your own
back at risk, without being completely exhausted after work and still have some surplus energy when the workday is over.
This is the insight that drives us at Molift. The company was started 20 years ago by a
man who through his own experience saw the need for lifting and moving patients in
an effective and comfortable way - for both patient and carer.
We have since then delivered products that compliment the natural movements of the
body, that is both simple and intuitive to use. Products designed to give the patient
a better life in addition to providing the carer with real support and optimum work
enjoyment.
This is the true meaning of; Molift - designed for life
