Safety instructions
READ BEFORE USE
Before using your TENOR, familiarise yourself with the various parts and controls as illustrated in this document. Read this whole
manual thoroughly before operating your
TENOR in order to prevent injury or damage to
the product.
Symbols and definitions used in this manual:
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions
may cause damage to the product.
OPERATIONAL LIFE
Unless stated otherwise, the operational life of
the TENOR is ten (10) years, as long as the
required preventive maintenance is carried out
in accordance with the care and maintenance
instructions in this user manual. The TENOR
will not be suitable for use if it is damaged.
The operational life of the sling and of the
consumable parts e.g. batteries, depends on the
actual use conditions. Therefore, before use,
always make sure that the sling, loops, cords
and straps do not show any sign of fraying,
tearing or other damage and that there is no
damage (e.g. cracking, bending, breaking) to
the attachment clips. If any such damage is
observed, do no use the sling.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions
may result in injury to yourself or to
others.
INTENDED USE
TENOR is a mobile passive lift, intended to be
used on horizontal surfaces for lifting and
transfer in hospitals, nursing homes or other
health care facilities.
To describe which residents may be lifted using
an ArjoHuntleigh hoist, a resident gallery has
been created by ArjoHuntleigh. The residents
that can be transferred with a TENOR have
been named Doris (D) and Emma (E).
TENOR has been designed to lift Doris, who:
• Sits in wheelchair
• Has no capacity to support herself at all
• Cannot stand unsupported and is not able to
bear weight, not even partially
• Is dependent on carer in most situations
TENOR has been designed to lift Emma, who:
• Is a passive resident
• Might be almost completely bed ridden
• Is often stiff and has contracted joints
• Is totally dependent
WARNING
When using the TENOR, only use the
slings as described in the list on
the next page.
The scale (if fitted) has been designed to weigh
residents.
WARNING
Do not overload the TENOR beyond
the approved maximum lifting capacity
(Safe Working Load) of 320 kg
(705 lbs).
CAUTION
Although manufactured to a high
standard, the TENOR and accessories
should not be left for extended periods
in humid or wet areas.
Do not, under any circumstances,
spray the TENOR or accessories
(excluding sling) with water e.g. under
the shower.

Before attempting to raise a resident, a
full clinical assessment of the resident’s condition & suitability must be
carried out by a qualified person on
the individual resident to determine if it

If the resident’s weight falls into two sizes or if there is any doubt on choosing the right size slings,
always go for the smaller size sling first.
This resident sling guide is only an approximation, other factors which must be considered when
selecting the appropriate sling are: resident’s distribution of body weight (i.e. hips, thighs, upper
body); resident’s height, torso length; resident’s physical condition (i.e. amputee, contractions,
etc.).
WARNING
The TENOR resident must only be lifted using a bariatric sling.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
Control Handset: Press the appropriate button
on the control handset to raise / lower the jib
and to move the spreader bar. A small direction
arrow is printed next to each button for function identification (See Fig. 2).
Chassis legs
‘Open’ button
Chassis legs
‘Close’ button
If pressure is released during any function,
powered motion will stop immediately. Do not
drop the handset into water, e.g. bath.
When not in use, the handset can be kept ready
for use by hooking it over the loop at the rear of
the mast.
WARNING
Do not press two control buttons
simultaneously as this may cause
unintended movement of the hoist.
Stop button has been operated, it must be reset
by turning the red cap until it pops out. Now
the TENOR can be operated again.
Power on / Reset button (green) : Located
on the top control panel (Fig. 1). Press this
button to turn on power to the TENOR. Also
used to reset if the automatic overload fuse has
operated (indicated by the button projecting
outwards slightly). If the fuse has operated and,
once reset, operates again, withdraw the lifter
from use and contact ArjoHuntleigh or their
appointed distributor.
Power off button (red) : Located on the top
control panel (Fig. 1). Press this button to turn
off power to the TENOR.
Automatic cut out: If the lift is accidentally
overloaded, trying to lift a resident heavier than
permitted, an automatic ‘cut out’ operates to
prevent the lift lifting a load in excess of one
and a half a times the maximum allowed load.
The lift motion will stop automatically.
System failure lower override: In case of
control handset / dual switch malfunctioning,
with a resident still supported by the sling, the
lowering process can be continued using the
system failure lower override, situated on the
lift actuator tube (See Figs. 1 & 3).
Dual control switch: The raising / lowering of
the jib can also be controlled from this switch,
situated on the top of the electronics / battery
compartment on the mast. Arrows on the
switch are for function identification (See inset
to Fig. 1). This switch will function, even if the
handset cable has been unplugged.
Emergency Stop Button (red): If, in an
emergency, you have to immediately stop any
powered movement (other than by releasing
pressure on the button on the handset) press the
emergency stop button situated on the right
hand side of the electronics / battery compartment on the mast (Fig. 1). Once the Emergency
To use this function, turn the red ring on top of
the motor / actuator of the TENOR clockwise,
using the resident’s own weight to enable the
mast to slowly lower. To stop lowering, simply
stop turning the ring. Only use this function in
the event of normal control failure. Do not use
it for normal function lowering.

Product description
WARNING
Before operating the “System failure
lower override” to lower a resident,
always ensure that a chair or suitable
support is underneath ready to accept
the resident.
Chassis castor brakes: The chassis rear
castors have brakes which can be foot operated
(See Fig. 4).
Powered adjustable width chassis legs:
The mobile chassis legs can be opened to avoid
obstructions e.g. chair legs. This can be done
by operating the hand control, using only one
hand and having the other free to hold onto the
lift or care for the resident. Use the lower
button to close the chassis legs and the upper
one to open them (See Fig. 2).
Numerous positions can be obtained between
fully opened and fully closed.
Automatic stop function: Great care should
be taken not to lower the jib and / or spreader
bar onto the resident or any obstruction, particularly when the resident is standing up and
weight bearing. If this should happen, the
motor will continue to run but downward
movement will be blocked by the obstruction.
If this occurs, release pressure from the
“lower” button until immediately and operate
the “raise” button until the equipment is clear.
Then remove the obstruction.
Battery discharge indicator: Is a small LED
display situated on the rear of the electronics /
battery compartment, which indicates when the
lifter battery requires recharging.
(See Fig. 1 and also the ‘Battery Charging’
section for complete description).
Transportation should be done with the chassis
legs closed, it will be easier to push the lifter
through doorways, etc.
When opening the chassis legs, the rear castors
will close inwards.
WARNING
When opening or closing the legs on a
powered chassis, care must be taken
not to allow anyone to stand in the way
of the moving chassis legs.
Hour meter: This is a small LCD display
which shows the total duration of powered
operation (in hours - see item 20, Fig. 1). This
is primarily intended to help the caregiver
calculate maintenance intervals.

Using your TENOR
CHECKLIST BEFORE USE
For a list of what to check before use, please
read the “Preventive Maintenance Schedule”
section of this document.
PREPARATION
Unpack the battery supplied with the lift.
CAUTION
A battery that is charged for the first
time, or after a long storage period,
must be charged for 24 hours or until
the LED indicates the battery is
charged (See “Battery charging
section” and also ArjoHuntleigh
“Battery Care” document.
When the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect the mains power, then remove the pack
from the charger and insert if fully into the
TENOR battery position, located at the rear of
the mast (See Fig. 1). Electrical
connection is made automatically.
Before approaching the resident
To lift a resident from a chair
Hold the sling up with the leg sections pointing
downwards (See Fig. 5), to identify the orientation of the sling.
Before using a sling, first read the ‘Guidelines
on the use of your sling’ and the sling label,
which are delivered with the sling.
Fig. 5
Place the sling around the resident so that the
bottom of the back support area reaches the
bottom of the resident’s spine (it is not necessary to pull the sling under the resident).
Ensure the head support area is behind the head
(See Fig. 6).
Pull each leg section under each thigh so that
they appear on the inside of the thighs
(See Fig. 6).
WARNING
Never leave the resident unattended.
The caregiver should always tell the resident
what he / she is going to do and have the
correct sling size ready. Where possible,
always approach the resident from the front.
To ensure maximum resident comfort, do not
allow the resident to hold onto the spreader bar.
If required, the chassis legs may be opened to
go around a chair, wheelchair or to avoid bed
legs or any other obstruction.
Fig. 6
Ensure the sling is not folded or twisted under
the resident (See Fig. 7).
Move the TENOR towards the resident, ensure
the widest side of the spreader bar is facing
towards the resident and is at, or just below,
shoulder level (See Fig. 7).
