Display Symbols/Functions
The handset has an LCD which displays various
numbers and symbols.
The LCD screen can display weight in pounds or
in kilograms.
The minus sign (-) shows when the weight is
negative (see the section “Method B - Weighing
With the Patient Already Suspended in the
Sling”).
The scale can also display weight in Gross
Weight and Net Weight modes.
Additional features include the battery charge
indicator and preventative maintenance
indicators.
Overload Warning Symbol
When the load is above the scale’s safe working
load (SWL), the scale will display alternating large
and small weight pictogramme (see Scale User
Manual).
This warning is displayed according to the
following weight limits:
•
For the Standard jib: Load exceeding 227.9 kg
•
For the Extended jib: Load exceeding 130.9 kg
If the scale is overloaded, remove the load
immediately. Do not move the scale/lift until the
symbol is switched off.

Gross weight refers to the zero weight reference
at power up. Net weight is defined as the value of
a load determined by the “tare” function, that
allows to set the scale’s display to zero when the
load is suspended on the the jib.
There are two methods for weighing the patient:
Method A - Weighing Before the
Patient is Suspended in the Sling
1) Turn on the MAXI MOVE by pressing the
power button.
2) If the sling has already been installed on the
spreader bar at start-up, the MAXI MOVE has
already zeroed automatically and taken the
weight of the sling into account (see Fig. 60).
Move ahead to step 4.
Fig. 60
If the sling was not already hung on the lift at
start-up, install the sling. The scale will now show
the weight of the sling on the screen (see Fig. 61).

3) Press the “scale” button to zero the scale. Now
the display will show a zero weight (see
Fig. 62).
CAUTION: Do not overload the scale. If the scale
unit displays alternating large and small images
of the scale symbol, lower the patient
immediately onto a bed or into a chair.
NOTE: FOR EUROPEAN SCALES ONLY, If the
display shows the larger “TILT” symbol
alternating with the scale symbol, relocate the
MAXI MOVE to a level position so that the scale
can be operated correctly (see Fig. 59).
NOTE: It is normal that the display occasionnaly
shows a “Tilt” pictogram when the lift is being
moved or manipulated.
CAUTION: Do not touch or lean on the patient, jib
or spreader bar during the weighing operation.
Ensure that no part of the patient, sling or
spreader bar touches the mast or jib during
weighing, as the jib and spreader bar are integral
parts of the weighing equipment.
WARNING: To avoid injuries, if the patient is
agitated, the attendant should wait until the
patient calms down before attempting to weigh.
CAUTION: The unit must be stationnary on a flat
leveled surface when it is powered up to allow
the scale to perform an automatic zero reset.
Do not manipulate the lift or any of its
components until the scale displays “0.0”.
Failure to do so may result in unaccurate reading
of the scale.
