General Instructions
Safe Working Load (SWL)
The Maxi Sky 2 series of ceiling lifts have been
designed with a maximum lifting capacity of 600
lbs/272 kg.
SWL can be lowered to 200 kg (440 lb) or 120 kg
(265 lb) to accommodate lower capacity rail
systems.
Battery and Battery Charger Safety
Practices
• Only use the charger that has been
supplied with the product.
• Do not charge the batteries in an
unventilated area.
• The charger must not be covered or
exposed to dust.
• Do not crush, puncture, open, dismantle or
otherwise mechanically interfere with the
batteries.
• Do not store lift at a temperature higher
than 70ºC (158ºF).
• Stop using battery if any damage or
deformation is noted. Inform technical
service before further use.
• Avoid positioning the charger such that
access to the plug is limited, making
disconnection difficult.
Shock Prevention
• Do not touch or use a lift with bare
conductors or a damaged power cord. If
this is the case, contact your local Arjo
agent immediately.
• Do not attempt to expose, service or repair
the lift, battery or charger. If the unit is
malfunctioning, contact your local Arjo
agent.
Fire and Explosion Prevention
• Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
• Do not incinerate the battery.
Human and Environmental
Safety Practices
• Should the battery casing crack, allowing
its contents to come into contact with skin
or clothing, rinse immediately with water. If
the contents comes in contact with the
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water and seek medical attention.
• Inhalation of the contents can cause
respiratory irritation. Sensitivity to nickel
can cause allergic asthma to result. Seek
out fresh air and medical attention.
• For recycling and disposal of batteries, the
rules according to the WEEE directive
(Waste of Electronic and Electrical
Equipment) as well as local laws and
regulations must be followed. If not, they
may explode, leak and cause personal
injury. When returning batteries, insulate
their terminals with adhesive tape.
Otherwise, the residual electricity in used
batteries may cause fire or explosion.
Figure 1 below shows the symbols for
disposal and recycling.
Figure 1
WARNING: The Maxi Sky 2 is intended to be
used for patients whose weight is within a
specified safe working load. Do not attempt to
lift more than the lowest weight limit indicated
on the following:
• the rail system;
• the “maximum load” label on the lift;
• the spreader bar;
• the accessories;
• the sling.
Overload of any of these elements may lead to
a patient fall and to injuries.
CAUTION: Do not expose the battery
connectors or the battery charger to water. The
charger is designed for dry areas only and for
normal air humidity conditions.
CAUTION: Do not place or store the battery
under direct sunlight or near a heat source.
CAUTION: Do not expose the batteries or
battery charger to flames. They might open,
causing a chemical leak.
CAUTION: Do not use the charger in the
presence of flammable anaesthetic gases.
These are inflammables. The charger might
generate a spark, which could cause an
implosion.
