Molift Overhead Systems are easy and safe to use and can solve most lifting situations. The func- tional and user friendly design provides greater access to the user and increases assistant and user safety. Molift solution gives a highly flexible, inno- vative, cost effective and profitable investment. This handbook provides support and guidance to installation performance of Molift overhead lift systems and contains important information about the design criteria and installation solutions. It is important to thoroughly understand the content of the handbook. Conditions of Performing Installation Lift and transfer of a person will always pose a certain risk and only certified personnel are allowed to install the equipment and accessories covered by this technical manual. Only personnel authorized by Etac can perform installation of the Molift overhead system and issue the installation certificate, all in accordance with Etac’s installation instructions and this handbook. The lifter is not intended to be operated by the person being lifted. If a hoist is to be used by a disabled person living on their own, then some form of communication device shall be installed in the area of use of the hoist so that in the event of an emergency the disabled person is able to summon assistance. This may, for example, be the fitting of an alarm system or the supply of a conveniently placed telephone, etc. General Declaration of conformity The Molift Rail System and related accessories described in this handbook are CE marked in accordance with EU Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices, class 1, and is manufactured in conformity with standards IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 and NS-EN ISO 10535:2006. Components made by other manufacturers We recommend only using Etac Molift components. Etac shall not be liable for faults or accidents that can occur when using components made by other manufacturers. System should consist of only original MRS components. If not Decalaration of conformity is not valid and Etac is not responisble for warranty of the system

Molift Rail System may only be mounted by Molift authorised staff who have received the re- quired training by Molift Group AS. Molift Group AS will only be responsible for the system provided that the motor has been supplied by Molift. Molift Rail system has been CE-marked according to directive 92/42/EEC. The manual is divided into five main chapters: Chapter 1 – Ceiling hoist system Describes solutions and options offered by a ceiling hoist. Chapter 2 – Specification of ceiling hoist system Descriptions of requirements and conditions for mounting of a ceiling hoist system in a building, whether new or old. Chapter 3 - Choice of parts and ordering Description of Molift Rail System and all parts of the system, to be used for ordering, etc. Chapter 4 – Mounting of Molift Rail System Describes mounting details for different systems and buildings, with check lists included for each system. Chapter 5 - Maintenance Annual checks of Molift Rail System are recommended Enclosure 1 Survey form, MRS Installation Mounting procedure for traverse....................................................................................78 Traverse combinations...................................................................................................79 Assembly of wall rail for traverse .................................................................................86 Assembly procedure for transition coupling ..................................................................89 Mounting of Switch.........................................................................................................92 Procedure for cleaning of profiles after mounting..........................................................97 Checklist for fitting Molift Rail System ........................................................................100 Chapter 5 - Maintenance.........................................................................................103 Page 2 of 106 How to use this manual Rev E 10/2011
