2IFU
Helena is a freestanding lift stand which, in combination with a traverse rail and lift unit, functions as a stationary patient
lift. It is particularly suitable in cases where the need for a stationary lift is occasional or in situations where it is not
possible to install a permanent overhead rail system. Helena is made of aluminium, which makes it very light in relation to
its high lifting capacity.
Direct Healthcare Group’s SystemRoMedic product series includes a range of lifts, slings and other accessories.
SystemRoMedic adopts a holistic approach to patient transfers and is organised in four categories: transfer, positioning,
support and lifting.
Visual inspection
Inspect Helena and lift unit functions regularly. Check to ensure that material is free from damage.
Before use:
Check to ensure that the lift stand and lift unit are correctly assembled.
Check all mounts and safety latches.
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the manual where it is accessible to users of the product.
The lift system may only be used by persons who have received instruction in the operation of it.
Functional inspection
Always read the manual

Place the corner pieces on the top ends of the legs as illustrated. Mount through bolts (11) and locking nuts. Tighten
with two 17mm open-end wrenches (not included). Mount screw covers on bolt heads.
Mount legs pair-wise, so that the carrier handles are on the outside. (Image 1)
Assembly of lift stand
Affix the mounting fixtures loosely to the top sides of the corner pieces using bolts (9), (10) and washers (13). Mount the
first primary rail by inserting it into the mounting fixture on the corner piece. Before inserting the rail all the way in, press a
rail cover (8) into the end of the rail. Tighten bolts with a 17mm open-end wrench. (Image 2)

Assemble in the following order:
- End stop
- Traverse rail carrier
- End stop
To prevent the traverse rail carrier from gliding along the rail during
assembly of the second support leg, anchor it to the support leg that
has already been assembled. We recommend anchoring the traverse
rail carrier with the help of an end stop (image 4). When assembly is
complete, slide the end stop to the other end of the rail and leave it in
place.
Mount the second primary rail on the other support leg.
Insert the end-stop screws into the pre-drilled holes (image 3).
Fit the screw covers.
Mount the crossbeams to the first pair of support legs:
Tighten bolts with a 17mm open-end wrench. Mount screw
covers on bolt heads (image 5).
Attach the second pair of support legs to the first cross-
beam (image 6).
Then, mount the other crossbeam between the pairs of
support legs.

Adjust Helena to the desired height by first loosening the locking knobs on the support leg pairs
(one pair at a time) and then carefully rocking the lift stand.
Mount the locking knobs in appropriate holes.
- NOTE! Maximum height must not be exceeded! The red warning label must not be visible
when the desired height has been set. Risk for instability! (Image 8)

Mount secondary rail on traverse rail carrier assembly
- Insert the rail over the square nuts on the
traverse rail carrier. Tighten with a 17mm
open-end wrench (image 7).
- NOTE! Ensure that secondary rail overhang does not exceed 50mm!
Risk for instability! (Image 7b)
- NOTE! Make sure the long bolt (10) is inserted into the secondary
rail’s safety hole (image 7c).

Final inspection
Inspect Helena for signs of damage. Check to ensure that Helena is standing securely on the floor, so that it does not lean,
and that the support legs are adjusted to the same height.
Check to ensure that all locking knobs and bolts are securely tightened.
The lift unit must be inspected according to the procedure for periodic inspection for the respective lift unit.
Keep the manual where it is easily accessible for users of the product.
Safe working load
Different products on the same lift system (lift unit, slingbar, sling, scales and other lifting accessories) may have different
allowable safe working loads. The lowest allowable safe working load always determines the safe working load of the
assembled system. Always check the safe working loads for the lift and accessories before use. Contact your dealer if
you have any questions.
