Movement Controls
Operating the Maxi Sky 2 Plus is achieved with the
aid of the command buttons on the hand control.
Vertical Movement
• The and buttons are used to raise or
lower the patient. When either button is
pressed, both straps on the Maxi Sky 2 Plus
will move together.
NOTE: Although the ascending and descending
speeds are synchronized by software, a number
of factors may cause the two spreader bars to
move at slightly different speeds, which in turn may
cause minor changes in the patient's nal position.
Readjust as necessary.
• The raising and lowering functions
accelerate gradually to prevent any abrupt
movements when the button is initially
pressed, and remain active for as long as
the button remains pressed.
• The movement decelerates gradually to
prevent any abrupt movement when the
button is released.
NOTE: If the button is continuously pressed,
the ceiling lifts in the Maxi Sky 2 Plus will each
reach their highest raising limits, but at different
times. This will produce a tilting motion that will
cause the patient's position to shift.
Horizontal Movement and Rotation
Horizontal movement, as well as rotating the patient,
with the Maxi Sky 2 Plus is achieved by manually
pulling or pushing the lift to the desired location (see
Fig. 17).
Maxi Sky 2 Plus Patient Tilt Function
The Maxi Sky 2 Plus is equipped with a patient tilt
function. The hand control features the
and
buttons, which allows for the positioning of the
patient in the upright or reclined position according
to the transfer starting and/or destination position.
Press and hold to tilt patient to a reclined
position.
Press and hold to bring patient up to sitting
position.
The Maxi Sky 2 Plus will activate only the leading
ceiling lift when adjusting the patient’s position.
Therefore, no matter which one of the patient
positioning buttons are pressed, only the “foot-end”
spreader bar will rise or lower accordingly. The
travel of this spreader bar is limited by software to
350 mm above and below the "head-end" spreader
bar.
