Safety devices

Emergency stop / Emergency lowering

Molift Mover 180 is equipped with several safety devices, which are intended to prevent damage or injuries to personnel and equipment in the case of incorrect use.

Manual emergency lowering Electrical Emergency lowering

The lifter has an overload sensor preventing the lifter to be operated if the load exceeds SWL. The lifting arm is hinged to prevent the arm and suspension from squeezing the user. The actuator will not produce any force when moving downwards.

Emergency stop

The electronics are disabled if overheated. Wait until the lifter has cooled down before using it again.

Push handles

Emergency stop

Use the push handles to move the lifter.

The emergency stop shuts off the power when pushed in. Turn clockwise to reset (OK to operate when the green ring is visible).

Do not push or pull the user, lifting arm or actuator. This may cause stability problems and lifter may tip over.

Electrical emergency lowering Push and hold button for electrical emergency lowering to lower lifting arm. The electrical emergency lowering function does not work when the emergency stop is activated.

The lifter shall only be used for movement over short distances. It is not a replacement for wheelchair or similar.

Manual emergency lowering

Brakes

Rear wheels/castors are equipped with brakes. Step on lever to lock brakes. Flip up to unlock. Pull handle on the actuator upwards to start emergency lowering, and the lifting arm moves downwards if under load. The lowering will increase in speed the higher the handle is pulled. Release the handle gently. Releasing the handle too quickly may cause person injury or damage to the lifter. The manual emergency lowering function on the actuator should only be used when the electrical emergency lowering does not work. 7

Transfer Plan the lifting operation in advance to ensure that it is as safe and smooth as possible. Remember to work ergonomically. Assess the risks and take notes. The assistant is responsible for the safety of the user. Molift Mover 180 can be used with both 2-point and 4-point suspension for different types of transfers; sitting, recumbent or ambulating.

Using slings

The suspensions hook design prevents sling to be inadvertently detached when mounted correct.

It is important that the sling has been tested with the individual user and for the intended lifting situation. Read user manual for the sling prior to use.

Do not to use damaged or badly worn slings.

Slings made by other manufacturers We recommend only using Molift slings. Etac shall not be liable for faults or accidents that can occur when using slings made by other manufacturers.

1. Check that the sling is correctly fitted around the user and that the strap loops are correctly fitted to the suspension hooks. 2. Stretch the sling straps without lifting the user. Ensure that all four loops of the sling are securely fastened to avoid the user slipping or falling. 3. Lift user, and perform transfer.

Lifting and lowering When moving the user, stand to the side of the person you are lifting. Make sure that arms and legs do not obstruct the seat, bed, etc. Keep eye contact with the user to help them feel safe.

The 4-point suspension must always be positioned across the user, to prevent the user from unintentionally sliding out of the sling. 10

Molift Mover 180 / www.etac.com

Transfer

Lowering into sitting

Try to position the user as low as possible (preferably resting the feet on the chassis) when transferring the lifter with a suspended user. In this way the centre of gravity will be low and reduce the risk of instability.

When transferring the user into sitting, the following techniques can be used when lowering the user as far back into the seat as possible: A P osition the user with the help of the push handle B P ush gently on the users knees C T ilt the seat backwards

Never lift the user higher than necessary to carry out a lift. Remember that wheels on a mobile lift must NOT be locked.

User must be facing lifter when lifting or lowering from or into a chair.

Never leave a user unattended in a lifting situation. Be careful during movement, the suspended user may swing during turns, stops and starts. Be 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 users on sloping surfaces Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven surfaces or other obstacles that may block the castors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over.
