FreeSpan Straight Rail Instruction Guide
Product Description FreeSpan SR is a freestanding lift system that is inten- ded for use with Liko’s Multirall or Likorall lift units. It consists of three main components that can be assembled without tools. The lift motor is mounted in the pre-fitted carriage. FreeSpan is adjustable to four different heights and is available in 8 different rail lengths, giving it a width range of 2 to 5.5 metres (6' 8" - 18' 4"). Equipped with locking handles on the rail, FreeSpan can be widened a further 225 mm (8.9 in.) in each corner.
FreeSpan can be lowered to the transport position (1700 mm/66.9 in.) to simplify mounting of the lift unit and/or moving the lift system to another room. FreeSpan SR has lockable pivoting wheels, is made of aluminium, and despite its light weight, it is extremely stable. FreeSpan complies with EN ISO 10535 and the medical devices directive MDD 93/42/EEC.

Assembly Instructions Before assembly, check that the following components are included: • 2 pcs K6S M4x10 screw
• Side support (2 pcs) with wheels, handles, locking handles, parking bracket and charger plate • Rail with corners, end-stops, carriage and locking handles
• 2 pcs M8x25 bolt, 2 pcs M8 nut
Before assembly, ensure that the side supports are locked in their lowest position and that the upper locking handles have been removed from both side supports.
1. Fit the rail to one of the side supports, as in the illustration. Make sure the handle is facing outward. Mount the upper locking handle that holds the rail to the side support, and tighten. Note that the upper locking handles lock the rail to the side supports and may only be used when assembling or disassembling FreeSpan, not when adjusting the heights!
2. Repeat the above procedure with the other side support. Make sure the handles are aligned lengthwise with the side supports. 3. Adjustment of overall width If you need to adjust the width of Freespan: Loosen the locking handles on top of the rail and pull the side supports out to the desired width (max 225 mm/8.9 in. wider in each corner).Tighten the locking handles. NOTE! The locking handles for adjusting corners must not be dismounted from the rail.
4. Mount the lift unit in the pre-mounted carriage. Note that FreeSpan is delivered with a carriage specific for either Likorall or Multirall lift units. Follow the instructions, below. For mounting with Multirall, see the instruc-tion in the Multirall instruction guide. Read the instruction guide for the lift unit you are using!
Mounting Likorall lift unit
Then, slide on the shorter carriage from the other direction. Affix the carriage in the outermost hole in the mounting rail above the lift unit using the accompanying bolt (M8x25) and nut (M8).
Slide the lift unit onto the longer carriage with the emergency stop end in the opposite direction as the carriage brake knob, as in the illustration above. Affix the carriage in the outermost hole in the mounting rail above the lift unit using the accompanying bolt (M8x25) and nut (M8). FreeSpan SR • 7EN130103 Rev. 3

5. Now FreeSpan is ready to be raised to the correct height. There are four different height positions. Note that the lift unit slides freely on the rail. Therefore, move the lift unit away from the side support that you intend to raise first. Start by removing the lower locking handle. Lift the handle to the desired rail height (max total height 2550 mm/100.4 in.). Insert the locking handle in the appropriate hole and tighten. Repeat this procedure with the other side support.
Mounting the charger The battery charger for Likorall and Multirall can be mounted on the charger plate, which is placed on the side support.
Hook on the lower part of the charger on the pre-mounted charger plate (as illustrated).
Fasten the charger on the charger plate with the two accompanying screws (K6S M4x10).
• The charger is connected to the power supply • Charging is in progress • No function
Now the charger is ready for use.

User's Guide During use and during lifting operations, FreeSpan should be positioned so that the rail always is directly over the patient's centre of gravity. Lifting at any angle away from the rail will affect stability negatively. In the case of lifting a patient from a bed, this means that the rail should be aligned directly over the bed. This applies both to transfers from the bed to the bedside and to a position near the foot of the bed.
Moving FreeSpan FreeSpan can be moved when fully assembled with the lift unit, though not with the patient in the lift. Release wheel locks and move FreeSpan to the desired location. If the lift is to be moved from one room to another and the door opening is too low, FreeSpan can be lowered to its transport position (1700 mm/66.9 in.). We recommend that two people move the lift system.
A
B
A) Start by moving the lift unit to the side that is to be lowered first. Loosen the locking handle, remove it and lower the side support to the lowest position. Hold the handle firmly to maintain a secure grip.
C
B-C) Repeat this procedure with the other side support.
Helpful hint. Where door openings are narrower than 1240 mm (48.9 in.), move the lift according to the illustration above (zigzag).

Care and Maintenance For safe and trouble-free operation, a few routine procedures should be performed every day the lift system is used: • Visually inspect the lift system and check for external damage or wear. • Check the carriage function. • Check possible Quick Release Hook safety-catch function. • Ensure that locking handles are securely tightened. Clean the lift regulary by wiping it with a damp cloth or waterbased surface disinfectants. NOTE! Avoid regular use of cleaning agents that contain phenol or chlorine, since these can damage aluminium and polyamide material. Inspection FreeSpan must be inspected at least once per year. Pay particular attention to parts that are subject to wear. Inspection must be performed according to the Liko service manual and by authorized personnel. IMPORTANT Repairs and maintenance may only be done by authorized Hill-Rom personnel using original spare parts.
