FreeSpan UltraTwin • 7EN130104 Rev. 2
Choosing Width
To adapt the lift system according to lifting needs, the uprights can be assembled in different widths. There are
three different assembly alternatives, where each width has unique features. For recommended lifting accessories
for the various width adjustments, see page 9.
300 cc
- is a standard measurement that is suitable for lifting the patient in the seated position.
500 cc
- is a special measurement for the uprights and mounting is done according to separate installation instruc-
tions. This width setting is essential for use of UltraTwist on the system. UltraTwist allows full rotation of
the lift units; the patient can be rotated during lifting, and lifting in both the seated and horizontal positions
is possible. For lifting patients from a horizontal position in a stretcher, UltraTwist Wide is required. For
more information, contact Liko.
800 cc
- is a standard measurement that is suitable, above all, for lifting with a stretcher but it can also be used for
lifting patients in a seated position.
Placement of FreeSpan UltraTwin
During use, FreeSpan UltraTwin should be positioned so that the rails are always centred as directly as possible
above the patient’s centre of gravity. Lifting in a skewed direction has a negative effect on stability. When lifting
from bed, this means that the rails should be centred directly over the bed, about 1 m from the head board end.
This applies both when lifting from the bed to the bedside or to another location e.g., a wheelchair.
Moving FreeSpan UltraTwin
FreeSpan UltraTwin is not intended to be moved during a lifting situation.
FreeSpan UltraTwin can be moved when fully assembled. When moving FreeSpan UltraTwin out of a room with a
low doorway, FreeSpan UltraTwin must be lowered to the transport position (1700 mm / 67 inch.). We recommend
that two people assist when moving the lift system.
Operation
When lowering the uprights, move the lift units towards
the side that is to be lowered. Grasp the handles firmly.
Remove the lower locking handles and lower the up-
rights.
Then lower the uprights on the opposite side. Grasp
the handles firmly. Remove the lower locking handles
and lower the uprights.
