Before Approaching the Patient
Ensure that the battery pack supplied is fully charged
before use (for recharging batteries, see the instructions
in the “Battery Charging” section). When the battery
pack is fully charged, remove it from the charger unit
and insert it back into the Maxi Move. First, match the
recess across the bottom of the battery pack with the
protrusion at the bottom of the battery slot, then pivot the
battery into position until the retaining catch engages.
An electrical connection will be made automatically.
Ensure that the green power button (located below the
control panel) is pushed in (see Fig. 8).
Ensure that a selection of sling types and sizes is
available for all transfers likely to be performed using
the Maxi Move.
The attendant should always tell the patient what they
are going to do, and have the correct size sling ready.
Whenever possible, always approach the patient from
the front.
If required, the chassis legs may be opened to go around
a chair or wheelchair.
Powered Opening “V” Chassis
Push the “legs open” button on the control handset or
control panel until the required width for the chassis legs
is reached. To close, press the “legs closed” button.
Movement will stop if the button is released, whether
opening or closing.
When opening or closing the legs on a powered chassis,
care must be taken not to allow anything to stand in the
way of the chassis’ moving legs. For example, pay
special attention when the legs are operated around
chairs or in doorways.
The lift must be moved only when the chassis legs are in
the closed position.

If you need to install or change the attachment, such as
the spreader bar or stretcher frame, proceed as follows:
To remove the spreader bar, hold it carefully and depress
the retaining catch to release it from the carrier (see A).
Then lift the spreader bar upwards and away from the
carrier (see B and C), and store it carefully for future use.
Finally, select the attachment required and—while
carefully lifting it up—allow the recess in the spreader
bar to fit around the carrier shaft (see D). Ensure the
spreader bar drops down over the carrier and that the
retaining catch engages fully.

WARNING: To ensure the patient’s maximum
comfort, do not allow the patient to hold on to
the spreader bar.
