Using your Maxi Twin
Before the resident is transferred to a Maxi Twin,
make sure that:
• the battery pack is fully charged before use. Remove it from
the charger unit and the arched top of the battery should face
upwards when inserted into the battery opening. Electrical
connection will be made automatically.
• a selection of sling types and sizes are easily available for all
types of lifting procedures when using the Maxi Twin lift.
• when possible, approach the resident from the front.
• if necessary, open the chassis legs to go around a chair or
wheelchair.

WARNING
To avoid entrapment, make sure to keep the
residents hair, arms and feet close to the body and
use designated grab supports during any
movement.

Powered Chassis Legs

Select the appropriate button on the hand control and keep it
pressed down until the required leg width is achieved. To close,
press the close chassis leg button. The opening/closing of the
chassis legs will stop if pressure is released from the button.

WARNING
To avoid entrapment, make sure to keep the
residents hair, arms and feet close to the body and
use designated grab supports during any
movement.

When to Use the Brakes

When lifting or lowering a resident who is supported by a sling it
is not necessary to use the brakes. This allows the lift to move to
the correct position relative to the centre of gravity of the resident.
It’s recommended to apply the brakes however, when lifting a
resident from the floor. This may prevent any unwanted or
accidental movement of the Maxi Twin lift that may cause harm or
injury.

Attach the Leg Clips/Loops (Passive Sling)
Fig. 1 Straight Leg Attachment (2 Steps)
For most residents, it is recommended to use the straight
attachment of the leg clips/loops.
1 Keep the leg straps straight.
2 Attach the leg clips/loops so that the leg straps are
positioned vertically. (See Fig. 1)

Spreader bar 2-point Loop bar

Fig. 2 Crossed Leg Attachment (2 Steps)

If the resident is prone to kicking, the crossed leg attachment of
the clips/loops must be applied. This prohibits the leg clips/loops
from detachment due to kicking and prevents the resident from
possible injury. This method holds the legs apart and offers better
access for cleaning, toiletting or similar. This method may offer
extra support for amputees or residents with special conditions.
1 Cross the leg straps of the sling. (See Fig. 2)
2 Attach the clips to the lugs.

WARNING
To avoid entrapment, make sure to keep the
residents hair, arms and feet close to the body and
use designated grab supports during any
movement.

Fig. 1
WARNING
To avoid entrapment of the residents or caregivers
legs or feet, make sure that they are kept clear of all
obstacles.

To Lift from a Chair

(7 Steps)
1 Place the sling around the resident so that it covers his/her
Fig. 2 lower back and the head support covers behind the head.
Pull each leg piece and position it under each thigh. The leg
pieces should be brought under and between the thighs.
(See Fig. 1)
2 Make sure the positioning handle on the spreader bar is
facing away from the resident. The wide part of the spreader
bar should positioned at, or just below shoulder level. Make
sure that the Maxi Twin lift is close enough to be able to
attach the sling shoulder clips to the spreader bar.
(See Fig. 2)
3 Once the Maxi Twin lift is in position, attach the shoulder
Fig. 3 strap clips to the lugs on the spreader bar. Pull the clip strap
down for the lug to attach correctly in the clip. (See Fig. 3)

NOTE

The chassis rear castors have brakes which can be

foot operated. Do not apply castor brakes at this
stage. The position of the resident will adjust to his/
her centre of gravity while being lifted.

Continue with the steps on the next page.

24
Fig. 4 4 Press down on the positioning handle of the spreader bar
and attach the leg strap clips. Pull the clip strap down for the
lug to attach correctly in the clip. (See Fig. 4)
If necessary, lower the spreader bar using the hand control.
Be careful not to lower it on the resident, in that case stop
pressing the button on the hand control.

NOTE
If the hand control button is released during lifting
or lowering, the powered motion will stop
immediately.

Fig. 5 5 WARNING
To avoid the resident falling, make sure that
sling clips or loops are securely attached before
as well as during the lifting initiation.

Raise the resident by operating the hand control and move

the lift away from the chair. Carefully lift the positioning
handle until the resident is reclined in the sling with head
support. This is the most comfortable position for transfer,
as it reduces pressure on the thighs from the leg pieces. The
angle of recline can be adjusted for increased comfort if the
resident is uncomfortable. (See Fig. 5)

Fig. 6 6 Before transfer, turn the resident to face the caregiver at

normal chair height. This provides confidence, secure
feeling and improves the Maxi Twin lift’s stability.
(See Fig. 6)
7 Remember to release the brakes, if these have been applied,
before attempting to transfer the resident. Close the legs of
the chassis to help out in the transfer process.

To lower the resident back into a chair - or when

transferring from bed to chair.
When returning to a chair, make sure the lift legs are positioned
Fig. 7
around the legs/wheels of the chair. (See Fig. 7)
To position the resident over the chair, use the lift handles, do
NOT pull the sling. The resident suspended in sling should
always remain in the centre of gravity. (See Fig. 5)
Use the hand control to lower the resident.
To avoid further lifting effort, push down on the positioning
handle to put the resident into a good sitting position. Do not to
push down too quickly, as this may jerk the resident’s head
forward.

25
Fig. 1 To Lift from a Bed
(10 Steps)
Before lifting a resident from a bed, make sure there is enough
space underneath the bed to accommodate the Maxi Twin lift
chassis legs.
1 Position the resident onto the sling. Roll the resident
towards you then fold the sling in half and place it behind
the resident’s back. (See Fig. 1)
2 Alt. 1
Fig. 2 Position the sling carefully so that the resident gets rolled
back centrally on the sling. The head support area of the
sling should cover behind the resident’s neck. (See Fig. 2)

NOTE
To bring out the folded sling under the resident, roll
the resident from the opposite direction and pull the
folded sling out

Alt. 2 the resident can be brought into a sitting posture.

Position the sling as detailed in the previous section To Lift
from a Chair on page 24.

3 WARNING
Fig. 3
To avoid injury, make sure there is a safe
distance between the resident and the device.
Pay particular attention to resident with
uncontrollable movements.

Approach the bed with the open side of the spreader bar
towards the resident’s chest. Using the adjustable width
chassis legs, it is possible to manoeuvre around obstructions
such as bed legs. (See Fig. 3)
4 Position the Maxi Twin lift so that the spreader bar is just
above and centrally situated over the resident.
Fig. 4 Tilt the spreader bar by using the positioning handle, until
the shoulder attachment lugs can be connected to the sling
shoulder strap clips. (See Fig. 4)
5 The leg pieces must be brought under the thighs to connect,
this may involve lifting one leg at a time. You may need to
lower the spreader bar a little more, using the hand control.
Press down on the positioning handle until the sling leg
pieces reach the connections.

Continue with the steps on the next page.

26
Fig. 5 6 WARNING
To avoid the resident falling, make sure that
sling clips or loops are securely attached before
as well as during the lifting initiation.

When lifting from the bed, some caregivers prefer to

connect the leg pieces first. This particularly applies to
residents’ with large thighs. In that case, raise the hip and
knee into maximum flexion and attach the leg strap clips.
Tilt the spreader bar towards the shoulders for connection.
(See Fig. 5)

7 WARNING
To avoid the resident falling, make sure that
sling clips or loops are securely attached before
as well as during the lifting initiation.

Lift the resident using the hand control and adjust resident
to a comfortable position before the transfer. The specially
designed sling with head support, enables one person to
carry out a complete lifting function without additional
help.

8 WARNING
To avoid the resident from falling or caregiver
from being injured, only detach the sling clips
when the resident’s body weight is fully
supported by the bed or chair.
Fig. 6
When returning to a bed, make sure the lift is positioned
perpendicular to the bed. (See Fig. 6)
To position the resident over the bed, use the lift handles, do
NOT pull the sling. The resident suspended in sling should
always remain in the centre of gravity.
Use the hand control to lower the resident. (See Fig. 7)

Fig. 7 9 WARNING
To avoid entrapment of the residents or
caregivers legs or feet, make sure that they are
kept clear of all obstacles.

10 Move the Maxi Twin lift away before removing the sling
from under the resident. If transferring the resident to a chair
refer to the previous section To Lift from a Chair on page 24.

27
Fig. 1 To Lift from the Floor
(7 Steps)
WARNING
To avoid entrapment of the residents or caregivers
legs or feet, make sure that they are kept clear of all
obstacles.

1 Put the sling around the resident by using the rolling or

sitting up method. Depending on circumstances, space and/
or position of resident etc. approach with the open part of
the chassis. Open the chassis legs if necessary. (See Fig. 1)
2 The resident’s head and shoulders could be resting on
pillows for comfort. This is not a necessity when connecting
the sling to a spreader bar.
Fig. 2 3 With the open part of the spreader bar directed down
towards the resident’s shoulders, attach the shoulder strap
clips. (See Fig. 2)

4 WARNING
To avoid the resident falling, make sure that
sling clips or loops are securely attached before
as well as during the lifting initiation.

Once attached, raise the hip and knee into maximum flexion
and push down on the positioning handle in order to connect
the leg strap clips. This will raise the resident’s head and
shoulders slightly. (See Fig. 3)

CAUTION
Make sure that the sling is not put around or
caught under the legs of the Maxi Twin. This
might damage the spreader bar during the
Fig. 3 lifting.

Continue with the steps on the next page.

28
5 When lifting from the floor, some caregivers prefer to
connect the leg pieces first. This in particular applies to the
very large residents with large thighs. In that case, raise the
hip and knee into maximum flexion and attach the leg straps
first. Tilt the spreader bar towards the shoulders for
connection.
6 When all the straps have been properly connected, raise the
resident from the floor. Support behind the head can be
comfortable and reassuring for the resident. The leg pieces
can be positioned fairly high in the crotch, straighten them
out for added comfort. The resident may be positioned in a
chair or placed onto a bed.
If the resident is prone to spasms, he/she may be lifted with
the Maxi Twin lift. However, special attention needs to be
paid to support the head during the early part of the lift.
7 Transfer of a resident should always be done with the
chassis legs parallel (closed). Manoeuvrability will be
easier, especially through doorways. The resident should be
positioned facing the caregiver.

Transferring the Resident - Loop Spreader Bar

WARNING
To avoid entrapment of the residents or caregivers
legs or feet, make sure that they are kept clear of all
obstacles.

WARNING
To avoid entrapment, make sure to keep the

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Maxi Twin lift is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the Maxi Twin lift should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary.
b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Maxi Twin
lift.
The Maxi Twin lift is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled.
The customer or the user of the Maxi Twin lift can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Maxi Twin lift
by maintaining a distance of not less than 1 meter to any part of the Maxi Twin lift, including cables, if the transmitters
output power rating exceeds 1 W.
