See also “Care of Your Maxi Move” section.
The Maxi Move can be supplied with a variety of
optional attachments, which are not all described in
these instructions. If your Maxi Move has been equipped
with an alternative/optional sub-assembly such as
stretchers, etc., always refer to the separate, relevant
operating instructions supplement, as well as these
instructions, before you operate the lift. Only use ARJO-
supplied slings and stretchers that are designed to be
used with Maxi Move.
This product is intended to be operated entirely by an
attendant. The patient should not perform any function
relating to the control of this product. A second attendant
may be required with certain patients.
References to “left” or
“right” in these
instructions are as
viewed from the
caregiver’s pushing
position, standing at the
rear of the Maxi
Move and facing
forward.
CAUTION: Some of these parts are critical to
ensure the safe operation of the lift. They will
need examining and servicing on a regular
basis and must be replaced as needed.
CAUTION: Use only ARJO slings and
stretchers that have been specifically
designed for the Maxi Move.
WARNING: Before lifting a patient, a clinical
assessment of the patient’s condition and
suitability to be lifted should be carried out by
a qualified professional.
WARNING: Patients with spasms can be lifted,
but great care should be taken to support the
patient’s legs.
WARNING: Do not overload the Maxi Move
beyond the approved lifting capacity of the
lowest rated attachment/accessory. If the
maximum load differs between floor lift,
spreader bar and body support unit (i.e. sling),
then the lowest maximum load shall always be
used.
Take care when manually lifting alternative/
optional components such as stretcher
frames, spreader bars etc., in order to avoid
injury.
Do not attempt to manually lift the complete
lift.
CAUTION: Although manufactured to a high
standard, the Maxi Move and accessories
should not be left in humid or wet areas.
Do not, under any circumstances, spray the
Maxi Move or accessories (excluding slings or
ARJO approved wet environment equipment)
with water such as under the shower.
WARNING: Before lifting a patient it is
advisable to familiarize yourself with and
understand the operation of the various
controls and features of the Maxi Move, and to
carry out any action concerning inspection
procedures.
