Disinfectant wipes, which are supplied
impregnated with a 70% v/v solution of Isopropyl
Alcohol, can also be used.
Rub the equipment vigorously when using the
wipes, to promote an effective disinfection of the
lift’s surfaces.
Using 70% v/v Isopropyl Alcohol wipes has been
proven to be effective against MRSA and several
other micro-organisms under light soiling
conditions.
Mandatory Daily Checks
The following checks should be carried out daily:
•
Ensure that the battery pack is always fully
charged.
•
Ensure that the castors are firmly secured to
the chassis.
•
Carefully inspect all parts, in particular where
there is close contact with the patient’s body.
Ensure that no cracks or sharp edges have
developed which could injure the patient’s skin
or become unhygienic.
•
Check that all external fittings are secure and
that all screws and nuts are tight.
•
Ensure that all the instruction labels are firmly
attached and in a readable condition.
Periodic Testing
Some testing needs to be carried out at weekly
intervals. Periodic testing of the various functions
is advisable to ensure everything operates
properly. If there is anything you are not sure
about, or if you notice any changes in the
performance of your lift, please contact your local
ArjoHuntleigh agent.
Test for full and efficient movement of the lift/
lower mechanism: Raise and lower the jib using
the control handset. Test the mechanism with the
switches on the control panel as well.
Automatic Stop Function: With the jib well
above its lowest position and the lift positioned
over an empty bed, use the handset control to
lower the jib onto the bed. When the jib lowering
becomes restricted, the motor will stop. Release
the handset lower button after a second or two.
Use the control handset to raise the jib. Then
repeat this test using the control panel. This is to
check for the correct functioning of the automatic
stop.
Immediate Stop: To test the immediate stop
function, operate the remote control handset to lift
or lower the jib. While operating, press the stop
button (see Fig. 8). Powered movement should
stop immediately.
Press the power button to reset to the normal
function (see Fig. 8). Repeat this test using the
control panel. Reset to normal function. Repeat
this check for the chassis leg opening/closing
function, and reset the power button.
Adjustable Width Chassis Function: Use the
control handset or the control panel to open and
close the chassis legs to check for full and
efficient movement.
General Lift Condition: Perform a general visual
inspection of all external parts, and test all
functions for correct operation, to ensure that no
damage has occurred during use.
Servicing Advice
ArjoHuntleigh recommends that the MAXI MOVE
be maintained at regular intervals. See the
MAXI MOVE Preventive Maintenance Schedule
(ArjoHuntleigh Literature No. 001.25065).
Under normal use, the following items are subject
to wear: slings, batteries, straps and castors.
These items must be regularly checked as
described previously, and replaced as needed.
Parts lists and circuit diagrams are available upon
request from ArjoHuntleigh or its approved
distributors. If required, spare parts are available
from ArjoHuntleigh or its approved distributors.
Special tools are required for the replacement of
certain components. The simplest, safest and
most effective way to maintain your product is to
have it methodically and professionally serviced
by an ArjoHuntleigh approved representative
using ArjoHuntleigh approved spare parts.
For information on service including Repair and
Maintenance manuals, as well as maintenance
contracts, please contact your local ArjoHuntleigh
distributor.
CAUTION: Do not drench the product, as this
could damage electrical components and cause
internal corrosion.
If a hot air dryer is used to dry the lift, the
temperature must not exceed 80°C (176 °F).
Do not use petroleum-based solvents, as this
may damage plastic parts.
CAUTION: If in doubt about the correct
functioning or lack of performance of the
MAXI MOVE, do not use it and contact the
ArjoHuntleigh Service Department.
WARNING: UK LIFTS ONLY: Important legislation
came into force on 5th December 1998, which
has an impact on the schedule of service for your
patient lift(s), variable height baths and other
raising and lowering equipment. The Lifting
Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations
(LOLER) 1998 and The Provision and Use of
Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER 98) must
be satisfied by the owner. A schedule of
thorough examinations every six months has
been developed to comply with the law. Details
can be obtained from ArjoHuntleigh Service UK.
