Before the resident is transferred to a Maxi Twin,
make sure that:
• the battery pack is fully charged before use. Remove it from
the charger unit and the arched top of the battery should face
upwards when inserted into the battery opening. Electrical
connection will be made automatically.
• a selection of sling types and sizes are easily available for all
types of lifting procedures when using the
Maxi Twin lift.
• when possible, approach the resident from the front.
• if necessary, open the chassis legs to go around a chair or
wheelchair.
Powered Chassis Legs
Select the appropriate button on the hand control and keep it
pressed down until the required leg width is achieved. To close,
press the close chassis leg button. The opening/closing of the
chassis legs will stop if pressure is released from the button.
When to Use the Brakes
When lifting or lowering a resident who is supported by a sling it
is not necessary to use the brakes. This allows the lift to move to
the correct position relative to the centre of gravity of the resident.
It’s recommended to apply the brakes however, when lifting a
resident from the floor. This may prevent any unwanted or
accidental movement of the
Maxi Twin lift that may cause harm or
injury.
WARNING
To avoid entrapment, make sure to keep the
residents hair, arms and feet close to the body and
use designated grab supports during any
movement.
