IM AND USE
1.1 Purpose
The Solar/185 mobile hoist/lift, referred to in this manual as Solar, is designed to transfer
persons in institutions such as nursing homes, hospitals, care centres and in homecare. Solar
can be used for transfer between bed and chair/wheelchair, from chair to another chair and
from chair to a toilet.
Solar is approved to transfer with a maximum load of 185 kg. (408 lb).
The use of the Solar requires the following instructions
:
•
Personnel have received qualified instruction by Winncare Nordic in using the Solar.
•
The Solar has been assembled correctly and according to the user instruction.
•
NEVER use the Solar for other purposes than described in this user instruction.
•
Persons, who are transferred, must not be squeezed or trapped in the lifting
situation.
•
The Solar has been developed for use with Winncare Nordic lifting slings and other
sling products authorized by Winncare Nordic. See Winncare Nordic’s user instruction
for slings for specific information about which models can be used.
•
The Solar is intended for indoor use under normal temperatures (+2°C to +40°C) (36°F
to 104°F) and relative humidity (40-90%).
1.2 Safety instructions
Important – Warning!
This user instruction must be read thoroughly before the Solar is taken into use.
•
All parts must be mounted correctly according to this user instruction.
•
There must be no indication of wear and tear on the Solar or the lifting sling.
•
Never begin lifting if there is suspicion of any defect (abnormal sound, loose brackets
etc.). In such cases it is important to find the cause of the problem and take the Solar
out of service. Contact your dealer or Winncare Nordic.

Never raise the patient without correct sling attachment.
•
Never lift higher than necessary in the actual lifting situation.
•
The lifting capacity is 185 kg. (408 Ib.) and must NEVER be exceeded. When using the
Solar in connection with other components e.g. slings it is always the component with
the LOWEST weight capacity that decides the maximum lifting capacity.
•
Ensure that neither carers/helpers nor patients/users can be hurt during the lifting.
