Safety devices
Molift Smart 150 is equipped with several safety
devices, which are intended to prevent damage to
personnel and equipment in the case of incorrect
use.
• The lifter has an overload sensor preventing
the lifter to be operated with more the safe
working load, 150 kg. If the load exceeds the
SWL, the lifter will stop the movement.
• The lifter has a safety feature to prevent the lift-
ing arm and suspension from squeezing a user
if lowered too much. The actuator will not pro-
duce any force in downward movements.
• The legs are folded together during transport
to make the lifter as small as possible. When as-
sembling the lift, the legs must be spread to
working position. A safety feature will prevent
the lifting column to be fixed in the bracket be-
fore the legs are spread beyond transport posi-
tion.
• The suspension has safety hooks to prevent the
sling loops to fall off.
• The electronics are disabled if the temperature
rises beyond a critical limit. Wait until the lifter
has cooled down before using it again.
Emergency stop and lowering
Contact your Molift service partner if the rea-
son for the failure causing an emergency low-
ering is unknown or if it is a result of failed
components or parts.
Emergency stop
The emergency stop will cut the power to the ac-
tuator, and is situated on the battery holder on the
lifting column. Turning it clockwise until it pops
out will reset the emergency button.
Electrical emergency lowering
It is possible to perform an emergency lowering of
the lifting arm in case of a general malfunction of
the control electronics. The button can be found
on the battery holder. If you need to perform an
emergency lowering, move the lifter to a suitable
location to lower the user.
• Press the emergency lowering button. The lift-
ing arm will then perform a smooth downward
movement. The emergency stop button can
not be activated when performing electrical
emergency lowering.
• If the lifter still do not work, change battery
and try the emergency lowering procedure
again.
• If it still does not work, the suspended user
must be lifted out manually either by using the
manual lowering function or by requesting as-
sistance.
Manually emergency lowering
The manually lowering function on the actuator is
only to be used if the electrical lowering does not
work.
Pull the red handle slightly upwards. Take
care, the lifter moves faster when activat-
ing the handle more. The lifter will stop dead
with a danger of personal injury and damage
on the lifter if the handle is released suddenly.
