1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PALLAS 2000 + PALLAS 5000
Before lifting an user p
lease check all necessary controls and actions concerning the safety instructions
mentioned in the user guide. The Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 must only be used according to this user guide.
Persons handling this Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 must have read and understood this user guide.
The Pallas hoist/lift should be stored at normal indoor temperatures (+2 - +40 degrees C) and relative humidity
(40 – 90%).
The lift load must not exceed 150 kg.
Before use ensure that the hoist/lift has been assembled correctly and according to these instructions.
Use only slings mentioned in this user guide.
The hoist/lift must only be used by authorized personnel who have been properly instructed.
Before and during lifting ensure that there is no danger of any person being trapped by the hoist/lift (patients,
carers etc.).
Never lift an user before making a daily check or if there is any suspicion of a defect.
Never lift an user higher than necessary!
Daily check
-
the carer is responsible for the visual check of visible defects before use and for informing the
dealer/manufacturer of any defects. This daily check comprises the following:
Lifter: - check that no parts are missing.
- check for any abnormal movment of the chassis, mast, arm.
- check that there are no abnormal or unusual sound from the actuator or electrical controls
- check for any signs of rust or surface damage to the lifter
- ensure that there are no signs of any breakage on the lifter
Slings: - check the slings for any tears in the material and especially check the lifting straps for wear/damage

1.1 Description of parts
1.2 Unpacking
Unpack the hoist/lift carefully. Ensure that no accessories remain in the carton.
Examine the hoist/lift for possible transport damages. Please contact your dealer immediately in case the
hoist/lift is damaged or does not function properly.
We recommend to keep the carton and the packaging material for possible transport of the hoist/lift in the
future.
Please read the user guide carefully in order to avoid incorrect handling.
Check the delivery quantities according to the delivery note. The contents for the Pallas stand-aid hoist/Lift
without
slings should be the following:
1 chassis, 1 mast, 1 lift arm, 1 knee support, 1 foot plate, 1 actuator, 1 electrical box, 1 control device, 1
charger.
1.3 Assembly
For assembling the hoist/lift you need two 17 mm spanners included. Please follow the advice in the order
mentioned:
1. Place the mast with the guide pointing forward into the chassis mount . The guide and mast must be
inserted completely in the chassis before the locking screw can engage on both sides before tightening.
2. Now the arm can be fastened on the mast by fastening the bolts and nuts with the spanners. Tighten, but
do not overtighten since the arm must move freely, but without play.
3. Lift the arm, connect the upper end of the actuator spindle in the provided bracket with the bolt and secure
with the ring.
4. Mount the knee support and the foot plate. The knee support kan be mounted and secured.

5) Hang the electrical box-system on the inner side of the handle.
6) Please press the red emergency button on the electrical box before connecting motor and box. The
emergency button disconnects all electrical contact. You
then can connect the motor’s connection cable to
the 2 pin plug on the underside of the electrical box. The control device is connected to the plug on the
back of the electrical box using the 3 pin plug. Release the emergency button. Leg spreading (electric) –
connect the 8 pin plug to the corresponding socket underneath the electrical box.
8) Ensure that the emergency button is in the extended position. If not, give the button a quarter turn
clockwise until it reaches the extended position.
1.4 Purpose
The Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 is designed to lift persons in nursing care and with at least one instructed
carer or supervisor. The load capacity is 150 kg. Never ever
use the hoist/lift for other purposes than
originally intended.
1.5 Use
The hoist/lift should mainly be used in the following situations:
1. Lifting the user from a bed to a wheel chair/chair situated immediately beside the bed.
2. Lifting from a wheel chair to toilet/toilet seat situated in the immediate proximity.
3. Lifting from a wheel chair to a chair situated in the immediate proximity.
Use only the slings exclusively recommended.
1.6 General remarks concerning use
The hoist/lift is easy to operate. However, before use, please read the following instructions carefully:
1. The legs of the chassis can be spread with the foot pedal or alternatively with the control device for
electrical leg spreading models.
2. The control device enables easy handling. Just press gently on the button “up” or “down”. Electrical
leg spreading model – Press gently on the corresponding buttons.
3. Always ensure that the user feels safe and is not frightened. Wherever possible ensure close contact
with the user.
4. Pressing the red emergency button immediately stops the hoist’s/lift’s function. By turning a 1/4-turn
clockwise the button extends and the hoist/lift is again ready for use.
5. The hoist/lift does not excert downward pressure other than the weight of the user and arm combined.
This safety feature fitted to the spindle is called “spline” and reduces the danger
of accidental squeezing.
In very extreme circumstances the spline system may have been activated and can result
in the lifting arm falling into place. Whilst this does not compromise safety it can be disturbing if a client is
being lifted and then sudden
ly falls into place. We recommend that the lift/hoist is operated for a short
distance before using with a client, to ensure that the spline system is in place.
6. The Pallas 2000 has an
electronic button
placed underneath the electrical box making an emerge
ncy
lowering possible, in case the control device is defect. The Pallas 5000 has clearly marked emergency
points (lowering/raising) on the electrical box.
7. Please charge batteries regularly - we recommend every night - and ensure that the emergency button
is in the extended position. Do not wait between two charging processes until the light diode (lamp)
shows 50% discharge. The batteries do not have any “memory effect”. Their lifetime can be critically
reduced if allowed to go flat before recharging.
1.7 General remarks for the carer
To turn the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000, stand to the side of the hoist/lift and rotate it. Pull the handle of the
hoist/lift with one hand and push the arm for the slings with the other. Working from the side can alleviate the
back strain on the carer thus ensuring a healthy working environment. In order to move the Pallas 2000 +
Pallas 5000 use the entire body, e.g. do not turn the upper part of the body or the shoulder to turn the
hoist/lift. Ensure at all times that the lifter is safe during this movement and that no tipping can occur
Preparing the lifting - example: the wheel chair is pushed to the hoist/lift - not the other way around.
The Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 must not be braked e.g. during a transfer from/to a wheel chair, bed or chair.
Always allow the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 to adapt itself to the user - not the other way around.
When moving an user do not push/pull the lifter too fast, not only can this be unpleasant for the user but any
sudden stop may compromise safety. If the lifter has to be moved over eg. a door step then it must be pulled
from the back –
this makes the movement easier and also ensures that safety is best ensured. We
recommend that two carers are present during this manouvere. The door ste
p must not exceed 3cm. in
height.
Never attempt to lift the hoist/lift thus creating an imbalance, this may compromise safety for both user and
carer.
Never lift the user higher than necessary. The Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 are not means of transport.
It i
s the responsibility of the carer to ensure that this product is suitable for the individual client. The utmost
care must be exercised at all times to ensure client safety. If using this equipment with a client who has a
tendency to lean or hang to one sid
e (eg. Clients with semi paralysis) especial care must be taken to ensure
stability. In these situations do not exaggerate any sideways movement by pulling the sling from the same
side. Opening the lifter/hoist legs will increase its ability in this situat
ion. Be particularly aware when using
slings together with a long strap length, this will exaggerate any sideways movement.
2. SLING TYPES
The below mentioned sling types are for use with the 2-point arms
All sling types: For further information see the label on the respective slings – see also symbol explanation
appendix 13.
We advise that these slings are to be exclusively used with the Ergolet hoists/lifts.
The method of lifting is explained in this User guide, in addition the slings have colour coded lifting straps –
these help the carer to choose the correct lifting mode for the user. It is the onus of the carer to ensure that
the sling and positioning are suitable for the individual user. This must be the qualified evaluation of
competent staff who alone are aware of the needs of the individual user.

3. TIPS FOR USE OF SLINGS
3.1 Lifting with chest sling or with lamb chest sling
Lifting from sitting position:
Place the sling behind the patient by pushing the back
support all the way down to the small of the back and
waist.
Close the safety belt -
over the waist, approx. at the navel
and tighten it.
The safety belt should sit tightly above the
waist.
Brake the wheel chair and move the hoist/lift to the user.
Lift the user’s feet onto the foot plate, bring the hoist/lift
forwards until the knee support is very close to the user’s
knees.
The height of
the knee support can be adjusted with the
hand screw (1).
The upper edge of the knee support should be under the
knee-cap.
The knee support must never press on the knee-caps.
The knee support’s angle can be adjusted in 3 positions
using the click lock (2).
The angle of the knee support is individual -
depending on
how much the user can stretch his knees whilst standing.
If required a calf belt (3) can be used.
9
Fasten the chest sling onto the hooks on the
Toilet Hoist’s/Lift’s arm.
The user may keep his arms inside or outside the “ends” of
the sling.
If the user is semi-paralysed, it may be necessary to keep the
paralysed arm inside the sling.
Start lifting until the sling sits tightly around the back.
Then tighten the sling belt tighter around the waist.
Ensure that the client feels no discomfort.
The user may hold the foam padded part of the arm and is
asked to take part (help) the lifting action. The user should
then try to hold himself as upright as possible and look
forwards.
Ask the user to p
ress down firmly onto the foot plate and to
stretch both knee- and hip-joints.
The carer may help by placing a hand on the knee and press
the knee lightly down-wards.
Continue the lifting process according to the user’s ability,
until he stands as upright as possible.
From standing to sitting position:
Take the Pallas to the secured (braked) wheel chair, so the
hollow of the knee rests against the front edge of the seatcushion.
Do not brake the hoist/lift.
The user is lowered so that his bottom is placed o
n the bottom
half of the chair’s back-
rest. That way the chair may tilt
backwards and the user glides into the back of the chair. This
movement demands utmost care and attention from the carer.
10
3.2 Lifting with the universal sling
Remove the knee support by loosening the
hand screw on the column.
Lift the foot plate from the chassis.
Place the universal sling far down so the
bottom edge of the back-
support reaches the
small of the back.
Pull the sling’s leg support forward on the outer
side of the thigh
s. Then place them under the
thighs and cross the sling straps in front.
The user may be raised in a more or less
reclining position, e.g. a relatively short back
strap and a relatively long leg strap can be
used. The straps are colour coded in order to
simplify an individual adjust-ment of the sling.
The universal sling can also be used with a
head/neck support.
3.3 Pillow sling
The pillow sling merely has a supporting
function for mobile users and is not a transfer
aid.
11
3.4 Use as a walking
-
aid
Since
the walking
-
aid merely has a supporting effect, it is important that the carer carefully evaluates
the user in this situation.
Remove the knee support and the foot plate according to the description in paragraph 3.2.
The user keeps his arms outside the s
ling straps. Place the chest sling on the user down to the small of the
back and waist. Secure the belt with the click-locks and tighten until the sling is securely fastened around the
waist.
Allow the user to hold onto the lifting arms.
Fasten the chest sling onto the hooks on the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 lifting arms.
Start lifting until the sling tightens around the back.
Stop lifting and tighten the sling straps again.
Continue lifting until the user is in an upright position.
The carer now can pull the user slowly forward in order to do some walking exercise.
4. SERVICE
In case your hoist/lift has any failure/damage please contact your dealer/Anolet A/S For questions
concerning a service contract (annual service prescribed by law).
5. TECHNICAL FUNCTIONS
5.1 Charging of the batteries
Please charge the batteries regularly - we recommend every night - and ensure that the red emergency
button is in the extended position. Do not wait between two charging processes until the light diode (lamp)
shows 50% discharge. The batteries do not have any “memory effect”. Their lifetime can be critically reduced
if allowed to go flat before recharging.
The charger is connected to 220 Volt and the charger plug to the electrical box to the socket marked 24 V on
the back of the box. (only for the Pallas 2000). After connecting do not remove again.
The Pallas 5000 has 2 options – a charger connected to the underside of the box or alternatively a table/wall
charger.
The lamp on the charger has to light, it indicates the charging procedure. Ensure that there are no life saving
electrical / electromecanical equipment nearby when charging.
The charger plug must not be removed under normal use of the hoist and NEVER during the charging
process.
During battery charging the hoist/lift must not be used! Never charge the batteries under damp
conditions ie in the bathroom!
If the lamp does not light during the charging procedure, please contact your dealer/Anolet A/S.
5.2 Electrical box
If the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 does not react as usual, although the batteries are fully charged it might be
that the batteries have come to the end of their useful life and must be replaced.
The replacement must only be carried out by competent persons. We recommend to exclusively use original
spare parts.
5.3 Emergency stop
Check regularly that the emergency stop functions as prescribed by using the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000
(without any user) and press the red emergency button (big red emergency button on top of the electrical
box for Pallas 2000 and on the back of the control box for Pallas 5000). The hoist/lift must stop instantly.
If the emergency button is defect the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 must not be used until a repair is made.
The emergency button is not an on/off switch. It always has to be “on”, meaning it must not be
pressed in!
5.4 Emergency lowering
If the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 (with a defect control device) does not react whilst in use, the user can
be lowered safely by using the emergency lowering. The contact is underneath
the electrical box(Pallas
2000) or on the back of the electrical control box (Pallas 5000). If the hoist/lift is lowered to it‘s end
position a fuse may blow. This is a safety procedure to ensure that the unit is checked before use.
The Pallas 5000 has clearly marked emergency points on the electrical box.
5.5 Cleaning
The actuator and the electrical box may be cleaned with a damp cloth in order to avoid the electronic
components being damaged.
The rest of the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 may be cleaned with detergent or disinfectant.
6. GUARANTEE
The Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 is delivered with a 12 month guarantee. The guarantee does not cover
damage caused by:
- Excessive loading - Excessive force
- Operating error - Faulty maintenance
7. ANNUAL SERVICE
The
manufacturer stipulates that this hoist/lift must be serviced by a qualified and authorised person
annually. This is also prescribed by the relevant standard EN ISO 10535. It is the customer’s
responsibility to see that this is carried out. A qualified
service technician will then fill out a check list /data
sheet for the hoist/lift.
All remarks in connection with the annual service or repairs of damages must be written by the service
technician into the check list /data sheet and signed by the customer’s representative.
The responsible service technician has the right and obligation to take the Pallas 2000 + Pallas 5000 out of
service if he concludes that an existing fault may compromise safety.
All services and/or repairs carried out between the annual services must likewise be listed in the check
list/data sheet.
All supplementary works must be noted in the check list/data sheet as well.

Appendix: Concerning Pallas 2000 with speed control
Speed control
This feature is used when the carer/user is of the opinion that the lifting movement is either too slow or too fast.
The speed can be regulated during use over the interval 50 – 100% of the lifting speed.
This is done by turning the speed control button which is placed on the back of the electrical box (see photo).
Turning the control clockwise will increase the speed.
Charging
• Beeps when the charger is connected
• The diode which is placed adjacent to the emergency stop will blink green during the charging process.
• The same diode will show a constant green when the batteries are fully charged.
• The lifter/hoist cannot and must not be used during the charging process.
Battery indication during use (the same light diode)
• Constant green: Fully charged
• Constant yellow: Half discharged
• Constant red: Fully discharged
• The batteries should be put on charge when the lifter/hoist is not in use and if the yellow light diode is lit.
