General Safety precautions
General
Before putting a Molift Smart 150 into operation,
the operator must ensure that the lifter and acces-
sories are in good working order, especially with
regards to safety.
A Molift Smart 150 shall only be used when all
safety devices and equipment is in place and fully
operational.
The lifter must be taken out of service immediate-
ly, or not returned to service, if faults and/or irreg-
ularities that may have influence on the safety are
discovered.
The lifter has an expected lifetime of 10 years
or 30 000 lifts with max load (SWL), when all
recommended service is performed.
Injury to personnel or equipment may occur if
Molift Smart 150 is used in an incorrect manner
and if i.e:
• covers are removed by unauthorised personnel
• used incorrectly
• insufficient maintenance
• load exceeds maximum limit. The maximum
load stated in this manual and on the lifter is
the maximum load
• unauthorised repair of electrical devices or ca-
bles
Lift and transfer
The Molift Smart 150 has a Safe Working
Load on 150 kg, meaning that it is tested
and approved for lifting of patients up to 150
kg. Attempts to lift patients above SWL may
damage the lifter and lead to personal injury.
The patient lifter may tip over if used incor-
rectly! Ignorance of warnings and instruc-
tions may lead to personnel injury. Read in-
structions carefully before attempting to lift
anyone.
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely fas-
tened to avoid the user slipping or falling
Use the push handle to manoeuvre the lift, do
NOT attempt to manoeuvre the lift by push-
ing on the lifting arm, actuator or patient.
Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, re-
sulting in serious injury to the user. Use slings
in good condition only. Destroy and discard
old, unusable slings.
Molift slings shall ONLY be used to lift per-
sons. NEVER use the sling to lift and/or move
objects of any kind.
Molift Smart 150 should not be run constant-
ly for more than 2 minutes (with maximum
load), and rest for minimum 18 minutes.
If the lifting movement does not start when
the corresponding button is pressed, please
consult the fault finding table in the mainte-
nance chapter to locate the fault.
Several factors have to be considered during
movement of the lifter. Stand to the side of the
user when lifting. Ensure that arms and legs are
clear of the lift, chair, bed etc. Try to maintain eye
contact with the user - this will help the user feel
safe and comfortable.
Medical electrical equipment requires spe-
cial precautions regarding electromagnet-
ic compatibility (EMC) and must be installed
and used according to instructions con-
tained in this manual. Portable or mobile ra-
dio communication equipment may affect
the medical electrical equipment, and should
be kept minimum 25 cm from the liftes elec-
tronics..
