Before Approaching the Patient
Ensure that the battery pack supplied is fully
charged before use (for recharging batteries, see
the instructions in the “Battery Charging” section).
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it
from the charger unit and insert it back into the
MAXI MOVE. First, match the recess across the
bottom of the battery pack with the protrusion at
the bottom of the battery slot, then pivot the
battery into position until the retaining catch
engages. An electrical connection will be made
automatically.
Ensure that the green power button (located
below the control panel) is pushed in (see Fig. 8).
Ensure that a selection of sling types and sizes is
available for all transfers likely to be performed
using the MAXI MOVE.
The attendants should always tell the patient what
they are going to do, and have the correct size
sling ready. Whenever possible, always approach
the patient from the front.
If required, the chassis legs may be opened to go
around a chair or wheelchair.
Powered Opening “V” Chassis
Push the “legs open” button on the control
handset or control panel until the required width
for the chassis legs is reached. To close, press
the “legs closed” button. Movement will stop if the
button is released, whether opening or closing.
When opening or closing the legs on a powered
chassis, care must be taken not to allow anything
to stand in the way of the chassis’ moving legs.
For example, pay special attention when the legs
are operated around chairs or in doorways. The
lift must be moved only when the chassis legs are
in the closed position.
MAXI MOVE ‘Lock and Load’
System
(See Fig. 14)
If you need to install or change the attachment,
such as the spreader bar or stretcher frame,
proceed as follows:
To remove the attachment: Hold it carefully and
depress the locking clip thumb pads to release it
from the T-bar (see Fig. 15A). Then, still pressing
on the locking clip, lift the attachment up wards
and away from the T-bar (see Fig. 15B and
Fig. 15C), and store it carefully for future use.
To install an attachment: Select the attachment
required and—while carefully handling it, with the
locking clip thumb pads facing you—allow the
recess in the attachment to fit around the T-bar
shaft (see Fig. 15D). Ensure the attachment
drops down over the T-bar and that the locking
clip engages fully. (see Fig. 15).

NOTE: To ensure the patient’s maximum
comfort, do not allow the patient to hold on to the
spreader bar or the jib.
WARNING: Before raising the mast make sure
there is enough clearance above the MAXI MOVE
to ensure the safety of the patient and the people
around, and to avoid injuries. Be very careful
when lifting next to a door frame.
WARNING: During displacement, always make
sure there is enough clearance above the
MAXI MOVE to ensure the safety of the patient
and the people around, and to avoid injuries. Be
very careful when passing through door
openings.
WARNING: Be prepared to take the full weight of
the attachment when removing it from the jib to
prevent a back injury.
For larger attachments, or if there is any doubt
about being able to lift and hold the attachment
securely, use more than one person for the
procedure, or support the attachment on a bed or
chair.
