To begin the transferring procedure:
1) Attach the patient sling. See
“
Use of Slings” sec-
tion in the user manual for further information.
2) Move the ceiling lift directly over the patient.
With the four-function model, use the left and
right buttons on the handset (see Fig. 7). With the
two-function model, simply hold the ceiling lift’s
spreader bar and drag it along the track.
3) Use the down button on the handset to lower the
spreader bar to a point below the chin of the
patient (to avoid the risk of it striking the patient’s
face due to a sudden movement).
If the patient is lying down, lower the spreader bar
down near the patient’s thorax, then install the straps.
4) Attach the straps to the desired position. See “Use
of Slings
”
section.
WARNING: Always read the “Safety
Instructions” before using the Maxi Sky

5) To lift the patient, press the
UP
button.
6) Make sure the patient is clear of any obstacles
before moving the patient. Guide the patient’s
legs if necessary.
7) When the patient is located above the desired
point of transfer, press the
DOWN
button.
8) Use the handles on the back of the sling to
position the patient when transferring into a chair.
Hold the handle firmly as the sling will tilt back
to position the patient.
9) Once the patient is properly seated and the straps
have slackened, remove the sling from around the
patient, and off the ceiling lift.
10) Move the ceiling lift away from the patient.
11) When the
Maxi Sky
600
is no longer required,
return the ceiling lift back to the charging station.
With the four-function model, use the right or left
buttons or press the return to charge button. With
the two-function model, simply drag the ceiling
lift back by the spreader bar. The charging
indicator light on the clip-on charging station
must be on for the ceiling lift to detect it.
Verify the green light on the charger station and the
yellow light (flashing or solid) on the ceiling lift to
ensure that the charging function is working
properly.
WARNING: Pay close attention to the safety
of the patient as you press the control
buttons. Before lifting the patient, make
sure that all straps are attached to the
spreader bar.
Make sure the sling is not caught on any
obstructions (for instance, the wheelchair
brakes or armrests).
Also make sure that the spreader bar is
correctly attached to the ceiling lift. See Fig.
7 below.
