To begin the transferring procedure:
1) Install the patient sling around the patient. See
“ Use of Slings” section in this manual for further
information.
2) Move the ceiling lift directly over the patient. Use
the
LEFT
and
RIGHT
buttons on the handset (see
Fig. 5).
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.
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.
4) Attach the straps to the desired position. See “Use
of Slings ” section.
WARNING: Hold the ceiling lift spreader
bar with one hand at all times when near a
patient.

5) To lift the patient, press the
UP
button.
6) Make sure the patient is clear of any obstacles
before moving him/her. 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
1000
is no longer required,
return the ceiling lift back to the charging station.
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
amber light (flashing or solid) on the ceiling lift to
ensure that the charging function is working
properly.
