Lift and transfer
The suspension shall always be positioned across
the user as shown left in the illustration below.
Check that the sling is properly fastened to all
four hooks on the suspension to make sure
the patient is nor sliding or falling out.
Try to position the user as low as possible (prefer-
ably resting the feet on the chassis) when transfer-
ring the lifter with a suspended user. In this way,
the centre of gravity will be as low as possible and
therefore reducing the risk of instability. The lifter
should be manoeuvred with spread legs in outer
position to achieve the highest possible stability.
Be careful during movement - the suspended user
may swing somewhat during turns, stops and
starts. Be particularly careful when manoeuvring
close to furniture to prevent the suspended user
from colliding with these objects.
The lifter shall not be used to lift or move us-
ers on sloping surfaces.
Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven
surfaces or other obstacles that may block the cas-
tors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over
such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over.
The lifter shall only be used for movement
over short distances. It is not a replacement
for wheelchair or similar.
Use of spread legs
Use wide legs wherever appropriate, for instance
to position the lifter around wheelchairs, toilets etc.
The leg spreading mechanism has a safety function
preventing it from squeezing with high force. This
may lead the motor to stop if changing direction
quickly. Push another button to start again.
Using lifting slings
The Molift lifting slings are easy to use. Please see
the user manual that comes with the sling for spe-
cific instructions.
It is recommended to use Molift Easy slings.
Slings from other manufacturers may have
other specifications leading to unexpected
instability and possible injury to personnel.
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 Easy sling
Fold the sling as indicated above before use. The
grey side should be facing away from the user
when putting the sling in place. The sling should
be held by one hand, leaving the other free to
move and support the user.
