Safe Working Load (SWL)
The "Safe Working Load" of the
Maxi Sky

refers to the maximum lifting capacity of the ceiling
lifts.
• SWL using both ceiling lifts (Dual Mode):
454 kg (1000 lb)
• SWL for one individual ceiling lift (Single
Mode):
272 kg (600 lb)
WARNING:
The
Maxi Sky
2 Plus is intended to
be used for patients whose weight is within a
specified safe working load. Do not attempt to
lift more than the lowest weight limit indicated
on the following:

Do not exceed the SWL of any of these
elements as this may lead to a patient fall and
to injuries.
Battery and Battery Charger Safety
Practices
CAUTION:
Do not expose the battery
connectors or the battery charger to water. The
charger is designed for dry areas only and for
normal air humidity conditions.
• Only use the charger that has been
supplied with the product.
• Do not charge the batteries in an
unventilated area.
• The charger must not be covered or
exposed to dust.
• Do not crush, puncture, open, dismantle or
otherwise mechanically interfere with the
batteries.
• Do not store ceiling lift at a temperature
higher than 70ºC (158ºF).
• Stop using battery if any damage or
deformation is noted. Inform technical
service before further use.
Shock Prevention
• Do not touch or use a ceiling lift with bare
conductors or a damaged power cord. If the
power cord is damaged, contact your local
Arjo agent immediately.
• Do not attempt to service or repair the
ceiling lift, battery or charger. If the unit is
malfunctioning, contact your local Arjo
agent.
Fire and Explosion Prevention
CAUTION:
Do not place or store the battery
under direct sunlight or near a heat source.
CAUTION:
Do not expose the batteries or
battery charger to flames. They might open,
causing a chemical leak.
CAUTION:
Do not use the charger in the
presence of flammable anaesthetic gases. The
charger might generate a spark, which could
cause an explosion.
• Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
• Do not incinerate the battery.
Human and Environmental Safety
Practices
• Should the battery casing crack and cause
its contents to come into contact with skin or
clothing, rinse immediately with water. If the
contents comes in contact with the eyes,
rinse immediately with plenty of water and
seek medical attention.
• Inhalation of the contents can cause
respiratory irritation. Sensitivity to nickel can
cause allergic asthma to result. Seek out
fresh air and medical attention.
• For recycling and disposal of the batteries,
the rules according to the WEEE directive
(Waste of Electronic and Electrical
Equipment) as well as local laws and
regulations must be followed. If not they
may explode, leak and cause personal
injury. When returning batteries, insulate
their terminals with adhesive tape.
Otherwise, the residual electricity in used
batteries may cause fire or explosion.
