Liko Viking S Manual

Instruction guide

7EN138101-01

2005-06-28

Viking S is appropriate for all common lifting situations;

e.g., transfers between bed and wheelchair, to and

from the toilet and bathtub or for lifting to and from the

oor.

For optimal function and safety, it is essential that

the lift and any accessories you intend to use be

individually tested.

CAUTION!

Carefully read instructions for the lift and lifting accessories before use. Lifting and transferring a person

always presents a potential risk. A thorough understanding of the contents of this instruction guide is

essential. Only trained personnel should use the equipment. If you have questions, please contact Liko or

your local Liko representative.

Viking S

Prod. No. 2040006

Viking S has three alternative height adjustment

positions that ensure the optimal lifting interval in

every situation. The middle position is the standard

position; the lowest is ideal, e.g., for lifting children to

and from the oor. The highest position is selected for

extra lifting height, for example, when lifting to beds

and gurneys that are not height-adjustable.

“Caution!” triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention.

English

In this document, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” and the person helping them is referred to as

the “caregiver”.

Assembly instructions

1. Lock both rear wheels. Place the lift mast in the

socket on the base.

Before assembly, make sure you have the following:

• Locking handles (1 pair)

• Bag containing instruction guide and

decal “Using the lift”

• Battery charger

• Lift mast and lift arm, mast motor/

actuator, slingbar and control unit

• Base

• Handcontrol with cable

2. Lifting height can be set at three different levels.

Choose one of the three holes, as in the illustration

above. The middle hole is recommended in most

cases. The lower hole is recommended when extra

high lifting height is desired, and the upper hole is

recommended for lifting at a lower level. Holes are

placed at 50 mm (2 inch) intervals.

See table on page 4.

3. Using the accompanying locking handles,

secure the lift mast in the desired position in

the base. Adjust the handles so that they point

downward.

(mechanical and electrical)

• wheel brakes work properly

• the indicator lamp on the front of the

control unit lights during charging

5. Afx the transparent decal ”Using the lift”

User´s guide

Operation

Viking S is operated by pressing the buttons on the handcontrol.

For raising and lowering the lift arm:

press and , respectively.

Lifting motion stops as soon as the push-button is released.

If the battery needs charging, a lamp (A) is lit on the handcontrol.

There is, however, enough power left in the battery for several

lifts.

Never pull the lift by the actuator! This may result in

damage to the lift and possible injury.

Locking the wheels

Press the locking lever on the rear wheel down with your

foot. The wheel locks for rotation in all directions.

In most lifting situations, the wheel should not be locked.

We recommend that wheels only be locked when there

is a risk for personal injury should the lift start to roll, e.g.,

when lifting a person in the horizontal position from the

oor.

Release the lock by pressing the lever up.

Emergency stop

For emergency stop: Press the red Emergency stop

button.

To release/reset: Turn the button in the direction of the

arrows.

Electrical emergency lowering

The lift arm is lowered electrically by pressing “down”

( ) on the control unit.

Mechanical emergency lowering

Mechanical emergency lowering is performed by turning

the red emergency-lowering cylinder in the direction of

the arrows.

Base-width adjustment

The base width can be increased and decreased

mechanically by pressing the foot pedal. Press

the right side to widen the base and press the left

side to make the base narrower.

Locked wheels increases the risk of the lift tilting over.

For maximum service life, it is important that batteries

be charged regularly. We recommend charging after

use or each night.

Maximum charge is reached after about 10 hours.

When the batteries are fully charged, the charger dis-

connects automatically. NOTE! An indicator lamp on

the control unit lights constantly during charging.

When the batteries are fully charged, the lamp shuts

Charging the batteries

off. If the lamp continues to light after 12 hours, the

batteries probably need to be replaced. Discontinue

charging and replace batteries.

Never charge batteries in a wet area!

If the lift is not in daily use, we recommend that the

emergency stop be pressed in after the lift has been

used. This breaks the current and conserves battery

power.

Old batteries are to be given to authorized Liko personnel

or left at the nearest recycling station.

A display on the control unit indicates battery capacity. When the

handcontrol is activated, a diode/lamp lights, indicating battery

capacity.

Green (A): min. 50%

Yellow (B): 25-50%

Orange (C): 0-25%

Lamp lights for 10 seconds after activating.

Another lamp indicates that charging is in progress (D).

With external charger:

1. Connect charger cable to outlet for charger,

under the control unit.

2. Connect charger to power supply (100-230V~).

Charging procedure

Note! The lift does not operate when the charger cable is plugged into a wall socket.

Maximum load

Different maximum allowable loads may apply to different products on the assembled lift system: lift,

slingbar, sling and other accessories. For the total lift system, the lowest max. allowable load indicated

for the respective products on the system always applies. For example: A Viking S that is approved for

160 kg (350 lbs.) may be equipped with a slingbar that is approved for 300 kg (660 lbs.). In this case, the

applicable max. load is 160 kg (350 lbs.) for the total lift system.
