Handling, Transport and Storage
Avoid violent impacts while transporting the lift.
The lift should not remain stored for long periods
of time without recharging the batteries.
If you store or ship the Maxi Sky 2, ensure that
the power is turned off (no green light)
beforehand.
Battery Replacement
Arjo uses sealed lead-acid batteries in the
Maxi Sky 2 series of ceiling lifts. Arjo batteries do
not have any memory effect. Therefore, batteries
should not be completely discharged before
recharging.
Replace the battery when there is a noticeable
reduction in the number of transfers that can be
performed between charges. If you hear the
Maxi Sky 2 beeping and notice a red light
flashing, see instructions in the "Troubleshooting"
section of this manual to determine if it is a
battery problem. To replace batteries, contact
your local Arjo agent.
Annual Inspection
The Maxi Sky 2 and accessories must be
serviced every 12 months as a minimum
requirement. Do not attempt to do the inspection
unless you are qualified to do so.
Strap Inspection
If the strap is damaged or shows signs of wear or
discoloration, the acceptable load on the strap
before rupture can drop rapidly and present a
danger for the patient or caregiver. Arjo
recommends a thorough inspection of the strap
every 4 months as follows:
• Completely unwind the strap.
• Look for any signs of wear or discoloration
as shown on Figure 10.

Maintenance Requirements
The Maxi Sky 2 series of ceiling lifts are equipped
with a maintenance monitor which informs the
user that a maintenance inspection is necessary.
The screen will display the maintenance required
symbol to draw the user's attention indicating that
maintenance related message is being displayed
on the screen. Arranging for scheduled
inspections ensures the durability of the unit and
the security of the patient and user.
Preventive Maintenance Schedule
The equipment is subjected to wear and tear, and
the following maintenance instructions must be
acted upon when specified to ensure that the
equipment remains within its original
manufacturing specifications.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use a battery that
was not supplied by Arjo. Batteries are specially
designed for Arjo charging systems. Attempting
to use an unauthorized battery may seriously
damage the lift and/or the charger.
WARNING: If there is any sign of wear as
indicated above or any other visual defects, the
strap must be inspected by qualified personnel
and changed if required. Arjo recommends
changing the strap as per following, whichever
comes first and depending on the model:
• Woven nylon strap - two years or
every 5,000 cycles
• Coated strap - two years or every
5,000 cycles
By continuing to use the lift without changing a
damaged strap, the safety of the caregiver or
patient is greatly compromised.
WARNING: The maintenance described in the
following checklist is the minimum that the
manufacturer recommends. In some cases
more frequent inspections should be carried
out. Continuing to use this equipment without
conducting regular inspections or when a fault is
found will seriously compromise the safety of
the user and of the patient. Local regulations
and standards may be higher than those of the
manufacturer. A load test must be performed
on the entire system every 12 months. Service
and preventive maintenance can be arranged
with the Arjo distributor. Preventive
maintenance specified in this manual can
prevent accidents and reduce repair costs.
WARNING: Safety related maintenance and
authorized service must be carried out by
qualified personnel, fully trained in servicing
procedures by Arjo, and equipped with correct
tools and proper documentation, including Parts
List and Service Manual. Failure to meet these
requirements could result in personal injuries
and/or unsafe equipment.
WARNING: Never proceed to maintenance or
service while lift is in use with a patient.
