• load exceeds maximum limit. The maximum
load stated in this manual and on the lifter is
the maximum load
• unauthorized repair of electrical devices or ca-
bles
Lift and transfer
The patient lifter may tip over if used incor-
rectly! Ignorance of warnings and instruc-
tions may lead to personnel injury. Read in-
structions carefully before attempting to lift
anyone.
The Molift Mover 205 has a Safe Working
Load on 205 kg, meaning that it is tested and
approved for lifting of patients up to 205 kg.
Several factors have to be considered during
movement of the lifter:
• the user shall sit as low as possible facing the
lifting column
• the user should rest their feet on the chassis
Stand to the side of the user when lifting. Ensure
that arms and legs are clear of the lift, chair, bed
etc. Try to maintain eye contact with the user - this
will help the user feel safe and comfortable.
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely fas-
tened to avoid the user slipping or falling
Use the drive handle to manoeuvre the lift, do
NOT attempt to manoeuvre the lift by push-
ing on the lifting arm, actuator or patient.
Do not touch the underside of chassis or be-
tween chassis and legs when manoeuvring
the legs.
Molift slings shall ONLY be used to lift persons.
NEVER use the sling to lift and/or move ob-
jects of any kind.
Molift Mover 205 should not be in constant
use for more than 2 minutes at a time (at
maximum load) with an 18-minute interval.
Safety precautions
General
Before putting a Molift Mover 205 into operation,
the operator must ensure that the lifter and acces-
sories are in good working order, especially with
regards to safety. All instruction and information
in this manual regarding safety and general pre-
cautions must be read, understood and followed
carefully. Any disregard to these precautions may
result in personnel injury or damage to the equip-
ment. If a fault associated with the operational
safety and reliability is identified, the lifter must
be taken out of use immediately and marked “Out
of order” or not put into use at all. Safety devices
and -equipment must not be removed, disabled or
in any other way altered. A Molift Mover 205 shall
only be used when all safety devices and equip-
ment is in place and fully operational.Portable
and mobile radio frequency (RF) communication
equipment may affect medical electrical equip-
ment and should be kept at a distance of 25 cm
(10 in.) from the electronics of the lifter.
The lifter is designed for use in room tempera-
ture, +5 to +40 °C. Following storage or trans-
port at other temperatures leave the lifter in
a room with a suitable temperature until it
reaches a safe operating temperature.
The lifter has an expected lifetime of 10 years
or 30 000 lifts with max load (SWL), when all
recommended service is performed.
If defects or faults occur
The lifter must be switched off immediately if one
of the following conditions occur;
• damage to electrical devices or cables, or dam-
age to parts of electrical insulation
• damage or failure on safety devices
If the lifting movement does not start when
the corresponding button is pressed, please
consult the fault finding table in the mainte-
nance chapter to locate the fault.
Injury to personnel or equipment may occur if
Molift Mover 205 is used in an incorrect manner
and if:

the lifting movement. At the end of the lifting arm,
you will find the suspension with four hooks to at-
tach the sling. The suspension rotates freely, allow-
ing the Molift Mover 205 to be used at any angle.
Safety devices
Molift Mover 205 is equipped with several safety
devices, which are intended to prevent damage to
personnel and equipment in the case of incorrect
use.
• The lifter has an overload sensor preventing the
lifter to be operated with more than 205 kg.
• The lifting arm is hinged to prevent the arm
and suspension from squeezing the patient if it
is lowered too much. The actuator will not pro-
duce any force when moving downwards.
• The suspension has safety hooks to prevent the
sling loops to fall off.
• When activating the emergency stop button,
the power supply will be disconnected, and the
lifter will stop.
• If an error occurs on the lifter, it is possible to
lower the lifting arm electrically on the battery
holder or manually by operating the emergen-
cy lowering switch on top of the column.
• The lifter has a service lamp which gives a sig-
nal when the lifter needs service.
About the product
Molift Mover 205 is a mobile lifter intended for lift-
ing and transferring persons to/from bed, floor,
chair or similar, wheelchair and toilet. The lifter is
made out of light-weight materials, has castors
and is powered by a battery. It has electrically ad-
justable legs and a lifting capacity of as much as
205 kg. It is therefore ideal for institutional care set-
tings but can also be used in privates homes and
nursing homes. The lifter should only be used for
transfers across short distances, such as between
a chair and a bed or into bathroom/restroom and
cannot replace a wheelchair or similar.
Main parts
The lifter is built around a chassis unit comprising a
lifting column fixing unit, rear castors and spread-
ing mechanism for legs. The adjustable legs are
operated by an electrical motor and gives the op-
erator a possibility to adjust the width of the lifter
to different needs and situations. On the lifting
column there is a drive handle and a battery hold-
er. On the battery holder there is a connection for
the hand control and an emergency stop button.
The lifting arm is joined to the top of the lifting
column and the battery driven actuator provides

Assembly / disassembly
To be able to operate the Molift Mover 205, the op-
erator must have good knowledge of the lift, in-
cluding assembly, disassembly and preparation
before use.
Assembly and use of charger
It is possible to mount the charger on a wall sur-
face or place it on a table. The charger shall be
connected to the power outlet when the battery is
placed in the charger.
Etac AS tests and charges all batteries before
packing and shipment. However, all batteries
must be charged before use.
Unpacking
• The lifter comes in one cardboard box. Verify
that the box has no apparent damage. If dam-
aged, check the content and contact your deal-
er for assistance if components are damaged.
• The box contains one complete Mover lifter
with hand control, battery and battery charger
with mains cable.
The lifter can be stored and transported under
the following conditions: Pressure: 70 to 106
kPa. Relative humidity: 15 to 93% . Tempera-
ture: –25 to 70°C
Assembly
• The chassis should be rolled out of the box.
The battery must not be in the battery holder
during assembly!
• Place the column in the attachment on the
chassis, and push the column down as shown
below. The screw in front of the column shold
fit in the slot inside the chassis.
• Make sure that the red arrow on the lower part
of the column corresponds with the edge on
the chassis. Fix the column with the lock han-
dle. If the column is not placed correct the lifter
will not work.
• Connect the hand control cable to the con-
tact on the underside of the battery holder. The
hand control has a hook that makes it possi-
ble to hang it on the drive handle or the plastic
hooks on the column.
• Place the battery in the holder with the connec-
tors facing down. Release the emergency stop
and run each function of the lifter a couple of
times without load to verify proper function.
• Mount the suspension by turning the opening
in the end cover upwards, and slide the attach-
ment fork in place (as shown below).
• The suspension can only be released in the up-
per position. When the suspension is hanging
free it is locked to the arm.
Lock handle

BM05101 Molift Mover 205 English - Rev. J/ 10/2012
Etac AS tests all lifters with and without load
before shipment. The control is an extra pre-
caution to uncover any shipment damage
and/or incorrect assembly.
The lifters electronic system will be active as
long as the battery is connected. It is therefore
recommended to remove the battery or acti-
vate the emergency stop button when storing
the lifter.
Checklist before use
• Check that the lifter has no apparent damage
or other faults, especially that the suspension
has no damage or cracks.
• Ensure that the lifting arm and lifting column
are properly fixed and that there is no loose
parts on the lifter. The lifting column must be
fixed tight in the chassis attachment.
• Check that the emergency button is deactivat-
ed and that the lifter works.
• Check that you have sufficiently charged bat-
teries to complete the task you have planned.
• Check that the service lamp gives a green light
indicating it is ready for use. If the service lamp
gives a yellow or red light, the lifter needs serv-
ice.
Make sure that the suspension has no dam-
age or cracks, and that the lifting arm and
column is properly fixed before use!
Disassembly
The lifter can be disassembled in three parts
by removing the suspension, and then the lift-
ing column with arm from the chassis.
• Remove the suspension.
• Run the lifting arm all the way down towards
the lifting column.
• Remove the battery.
• Release the lock handle on the chassis and re-
move the complete lifting column with lifting
arm.
The complete lifting column and lifting arm
weights approx. 20 kg (without suspension).
Operation
Battery care and charging
Molift Mover 205 is supplied with a battery with
a 26,4 V cell unit that is placed in the battery hold-
er on the lift. A battery charger is also supplied to
be located easily accessible, either stand-alone or
mounted on the wall. Connect the charger mains
cable to the wall socket when charging the bat-
tery.
The charger has a LED (Light Emitting Diode) in-
dicating the status of the battery as described be-
low:

Error
Place the battery in the charger. After a few sec-
onds the LED will change from yellow to orange,
indicating that the battery is charging. When the
LED gives a constant green light the battery is fully
charged.
Disconnect the charger mains cable when the
charger is not used. Take care not to damage the
charger
The battery lifetime is about 500 charging cycles.
Charger LED

Battery capacity
A Battery LED is situated on the battery holder on
the lift. If the voltage of the battery falls below a
certain level, the diode will change to orange, in-
dicating the need for charging. There will also be
an audible alarm, which indicates that the battery
needs charging. There is still enough capacity to
perform 3-5 lift cycles (75 kg) at this point.
If the battery is discharged during a lift, it is
always enough power to lower the user down
again.
Operating the hand control
The hand control to Molift Mover 205 has four
buttons, two buttons for up and down, and
two buttons for adjusting the adjustable legs.
In addition there is a green diode which illumi-
nates when the battery needs charging.

Emergency stop and lowering
Emergency stop
All of the Molift patient lifts are equipped with
emergency stop and lowering. The emergency
stop button is situated on the battery holder. Push
the red button to cut the power to the motor. Turn
the button clockwise until it pops up to reset the
emergency stop.
Emergency lowering
It is possible to perform an emergency lowering
in case of a general malfunction. Molift Mover 205
has both an electrical and manual emergency low-
ering.
Electrical emergency lowering is placed on the
battery holder. Push the button and hold until the
patient is lowered.
The manually lowering function on the actuator is
only to be used if the electrical lowering does not
work.
Pull the red handle slightly upwards. Take
care, the lifter moves faster when activat-
ing the handle more. The lifter will stop dead
with a danger of personal injury and damage
on the lifter if the handle is released suddenly.
Incorrect use of the manually lowering may
lead to damage on lifter or personal injury.

Lift and transfer
The suspension shall always be positioned across
the user as shown left in the illustration below.
When using slings intended for two point sus-
pension, the suspension shall be used diag-
onally, i.e. loops from the sling shall be fas-
tened on hooks diagonally opposite.
Pay close attention to your actions. Ensure
that all four loops of the sling are securely fas-
tened to avoid the user slipping or falling.
Try to position the user as low as possible (prefer-
ably resting the feet on the chassis) when transfer-
ring the lifter with a suspended user. In this way,
the centre of gravity will be as low as possible and
therefore reducing the risk of instability. The lifter
should be manoeuvred with spread legs in outer
position to achieve the highest possible stability.
Be careful during movement - the suspended user
may swing somewhat during turns, stops and
starts. Be particularly careful when manoeuvring
close to furniture to prevent the suspended user
from colliding with these objects.
The lifter shall not be used to lift or move users
on sloping surfaces.
Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven
surfaces or other obstacles that may block the cas-
tors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over
such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over.
The lifter shall only be used for movement
over short distances. It is not a replacement
for wheelchair or similar.
Use of spread legs
Use wide legs wherever appropriate, for instance
to position the lifter around wheelchairs, toilets
etc.
The leg spreading mechanism has a safe-
ty function preventing it from sqeezing with
high force. This may lead the motor to stop if
changing direction quicly. Push another but-
ton to start again.
Using lifting slings
The Molift lifting slings are easy to use. Please see
the user manual that comes with the sling for spe-
cific instructions.
It is recommended to use Molift Easy slings.
Slings from other manufacturers may have
other specifications leading to unexpected in-
stability and possible injury to personnel.
Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, re-
sulting in serious injury to the user. Use slings
in good condition only. Destroy and discard
old, unusable slings.
Molift Easy sling
Page 11 of 24
Fold the sling as indicated above before use. The
grey side should be facing away from the user
when putting the sling in place. The sling should
be held by one hand, leaving the other free to
move and support the user.
Lift and movement to and from bed
Lift from bed
Roll user onto her side. Put the folded sling behind
her back. The centre of the sling should be parallel
with the users spine. Roll her then onto her back.
Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs as
shown.
Cross the loops, one through the other.
If the user has a bed which enables raising
and lowering, it should be lowered before the
lifting starts.
Position the legs under the bed with the suspen-
sion over the user. Be careful not to lower the sus-
pension too low touching the user. Make sure that
the suspension is centred over the user before you
start the lifting. Remember - the castors should
not be locked.
Page 12 of 24
BM05101 Molift Mover 205 English - Rev. J/ 10/2012
When all four loops are hooked onto the suspen-
sion, raise the user carefully.
If the user is in a hospital bed, it will help to
raise the head of the bed
Repositioning of the user may be needed to en-
sure that a safe and comfortable sitting position is
attained as the user is raised. Reposition using the
handle on the back of the sling.
Raise the user until the buttocks are just above the
mattress. Lift the user’s legs and turn her so she
faces the lifting column. When clear of bed, and
if practical, lower the user so that her feet rest on
the chassis. If possible, lower the bed before lifting.
Move the lifter away from bed.
Beware of obstructions under the bed that
can cause castors to stop or tip
Lift to bed
Centre the user over the bed and turn her so that
the feet point to the foot end of the bed. Lower the
user carefully. Remove the loops from the suspen-
sion.
Removing the sling
Gently pull leg section to the side, out from the
user’s thighs and towards yourself. Pull the shoul-
der section under the neck of the user and roll her
gently onto her side. Pull the sling away and roll
her onto her back.
Be careful when rolling the user onto her side.
Make sure you have control over the move-
ment to prevent her from rolling completely
over and out of the bed.
Lift and transfer to and from floor
Lift and transfer from the floor is almost identical
to a lift and transfer from bed - please read this
section. There are two ways to lift from the floor.
Alternative lift 1
Page 13 of 24
Place the sling as if in bed. Gently position the lift-
ing column between the legs of the user as shown
above. The suspension shall be centred over the
user.
Lower the suspension enough to allow the sling
loops to be hooked up.
Raise the user from the floor. Position user in the
sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling.
Turn user to face the lifting column, and place the
feet on the chassis.
Alternative lift 2
A floor based lift may also be performed by gen-
tly positioning the users head on the chassis. Use a
pillow if appropriate to protect the head and neck
of the user. Otherwise as alternative 1.
Lowering to floor
Place a pillow on the chassis or on the floor to pro-
tect the users head and neck (not necessary if you
are using a sling with head support). Otherwise as
described above.
Lift and transfer to and from (wheel)chair
Lift and transfer from (wheel)chair
Fold the sling as described in ”Using lifting slings”
If the users physique and ability allows it, the
user should be encouraged to take active part
in fitting the sling. The user can lean forward,
lift her thighs and help placing the leg section.
Lean the user forward gently, but ensure you con-
tinue to support her. Place the folded sling behind
the user’s back and push it down until it touches
the seat of the chair.
The leg sections of the sling are pulled forward and
beneath the user’s thighs by the loops. The loops
are then crossed, one through the other, as shown.
Page 14 of 24
BM05101 Molift Mover 205 English - Rev. J/ 10/2012
Move the lifter around chair.
If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the brakes
must be locked to prevent the wheelchair
from rolling away.
Raise/lift user above seat height, and perform the
transfer. It is not necessary to lift the person very
high.
Lift and transfer to (wheel)chair
Manoeuvre the lifter so that the user is as far back
in the (wheel)chair as possible.
If the transfer is from a wheelchair, the brakes
must be locked to prevent the wheelchair
from rolling away.
When lowering, you can use the following tech-
niques or a combination of them to position and
get the user seated far back in the chair.
• push gently on the knees
• pull the loop on the back of the sling
• tilt the chair slightly backwards
Lower the user into chair, unhook sling from sus-
pension and remove the lifter.
Removal of sling
Gently pull leg section to the side, out from the us-
er’s thighs. Standing by the side of user, lean her
forward - supporting with one hand. Pull sling up
from behind her back.
Pulling sharply on sling may cause user to fall
forward resulting an injury. Always support
the user by keeping one arm around the user’s
shoulder when fitting or removing the sling
(see illustration).
If the users physique and ability allows it, the
user should be encouraged to take active part
in fitting the sling. The user can lean forward,
lift her tights and help placing the leg section.
Bathing
The procedure for lifting to/from the bath is in prin-
ciple the same as for to/from bed. A special bath-
ing sling is used for this purpose. This sling dries
quickly and may be washed at 85°C.
Page 15 of 24
Toileting
The Molift Easy Toilet Sling is used with the stand-
ard 4-point suspensions.
Molift Easy Toilet sling is a toilet sling with a
thicker and wider upholstery. It is also avail-
able with head-support. The Molift Easy Toi-
let Comfort sling is easier to fit in narrow en-
vironments, and is available with a separate
head support
The toilet sling can be washed at 85 ºC, and is fit-
ted as follows:
• Insert the sling behind the users back with the
grey side away from user.
• Fasten the belt firmly around the user’s body.
• Place the leg section under the front part of
the thighs and pull the loops up between the
thighs.
By pulling the leg sections from the inside and
out, you will achieve a wider leg position.
On Molift Easy Toilet Comfort, place the leg section
over and down between the thighs and pull out-
wards from the inner part of the thighs.
By pulling the leg sections from the outside
and in, you will achieve a wider leg position.
The leg sections of Molift Easy Toilet Comfort
Sling are fitted to separate the legs, therefore
they should not be crossed as the other Easy
slings.
• Hook the four loops on the suspension as for
other slings.
• Position the lifter around the toilet and lower
the user.
• Pull the leg sections out of the way. The sling
can be left on during bathroom use.

Technical data
Weight, totally:
excl. battery; 39 kg / 86 lbs
incl. battery: 40.6 kg / 89.5 lbs
Height of legs:
60 mm
The lifter can be used as normal, but extra precau-
tion has to be taken on carpets or other kinds of
rough surface, as the front castors are smaller. Try
to pull the lifter backwards instead of pushing it.
It is necessary to use more push/pull force to
move the lifter with small castors. It might be
easier to pull than push - always use the drive
handles when maneouvring the lifter.

Maintenance
Daily maintenance
Detergents must be pH-neutral. Do not use
solvents or strong liquids - this may damage
surfaces on the lifter and change the quality
of the material. For disinfection when needed;
use isopropyl alcohol. Avoid abrasive or etch-
ing cleaning products.
Clean surfaces with a damp cloth using an appro-
priate detergent.
Make sure that there is no damage or cracks
on supporting parts. The suspension shall
not be used if there are any visible damages
or cracks as it may cause personal injury or
damage to the lifter.
Monthly maintenance
• Check the lifter, and the suspension especially,
for damage. Make sure there is no loose parts
on the lifter
• Remove hair and pile from the castors and ver-
ify that the castors rotates without abnormal
friction
• Verify that the contacts of the hand control is
firmly in place, and that the battery fits correct-
ly in the battery holder.
• Clean contact and hand control with spirit or
similar to remove grease and dirt
• Verify that the cables for the hand control and
charger are intact
• Run the lifter up and down, and legs in and out
to verify that it runs normally and without any
abnormal noise.
Periodic inspection
Etac AS recommends annual inspection according
to the checklist on page 22. The inspection is to
be done by an authorized service representative.
The owner of the lifter is responsible to ensure that
one checklist is filled out and signed for each in-
spection, and for keeping the checklist.

Service
Molift Mover 205 has a LED on the battery holder
indicating if the lifter needs service. The LED gives
a green light when the lifter is ready for use.
The electronics has a power save-function which
makes the system sleep after a while with no ac-
tivity. All lights will go out. Activate the system by
pushing one of the buttons on the hand control.
The electronics logs how much the lifter is being
used, and the load it is used with. After a given
time of usage there will be given a signal that the
lifter needs service to the service LED. The LED will
first give a yellow light, then red. Take contact with
your local service representative and order service.
If there is a sound together with the light, it means
the lifter needs service immediately.

Service is done by an authorised service repre-
sentative according to procedures in the technical
manual. The service partner uses the Molift Serv-
ice Tool to read the data from the lifter, and for
logging service and resetting the service LED. The
owner is responsible to ensure proper logging and
written verification performed by authorised serv-
ice partner.
