Using your Maxi Move
Fig. 32
To stop any powered movement, release the control
button or press the stop button.
The spreader bar will remain firmly in position, once
powered movement has stopped.
Always ensure the spreader bar is securely connected to
the jib before starting to lift.
Care of Your Powered DPS Spreader Bar
For general care, refer to the section entitled “Care of
your Maxi Move”. Refer in particular to the paragraphs
on cleaning plastic parts, labels, etc.
Using the Loop Spreader Bar
If your Maxi Move has been equipped with a loop
spreader bar, ensure that the spreader bar is rotated into
position before attaching the sling, so the eventual lift
will resemble Fig. 33.
When attaching a loop sling to the loop spreader bar,
always ensure that the sling attachment loops are
installed correctly into the retaining hooks (see Fig. 34).

Use ARJO loop slings with the loop spreader bar
(consult Fig. 4). They are available in four color-coded
sizes (small, medium, large and extra-large). For details
on a more specialized range of slings, please contact
ARJO or its authorized distributors.
The loop slings are available with or without a head
support. A mesh sling is also available in all four sizes,
with or without a head support.
To Lift from a Chair
First, ease the patient forward if necessary. Slide the
sling down the patient’s back until seam “C” reaches the
base of the spine (see Fig. 35).
