The batteries supplied with the lifter are not fully charged on delivery. Before
use, therefore, the lifter must be charged up. A full charge, which takes about
5 hours, is recommended.

Checklist before use
• The lifter must be off charge.
• Check the lifter is lifting and lowering and the legs are opening and closing, if
you hear the audio warning (a beeping sound) DO NOT USE THE LIFTER –
it needs to be charged.
• Check that the green light located on the control box is illuminated when the
lifter is activated.
• Check that the emergency stop and lowering is working.
• Make sure the lifter is running freely.
• Check the slings for damage or fraying.
Once you have fitted the sling (see section 6.01 - How to use the sling) you
are ready to lift.
With the user in a seated position
• If the user is in a wheelchair or commode chair the brakes must be applied.
• Open the lifter’s chassis leg width adjustment to allow access around the
chair.
Working with the Mobile lifter
Always maintain a good working posture when applying the sling or working
with the lifter. When moving a person use the push handle and walk with the
lifter keeping the load as close as possible to your body. NEVER pull or twist
at arm’s length, this can cause injury to the helper.
