English
Vega505EE is a mobile patient lift adapted for safe and easy lifting of users weighing up to 230 kg/505 lbs. Vega505EE
features a unique design with a lift arm that can be both raised to an almost upright position and lowered all the way
down to the floor. It is also relatively narrow and compact, with dimensions adapted for use in premises and situations
where space is limited. In spite of the handy size, Vega505EE offers an unusually high lifting height and an extremely
large lifting range. Therefore, the lift can manage all lifting situations and requirements; both low and high lifting, seated or
supine, to and from the floor, bed or chair, and gait training.

Cleaning/disinfection
If necessary, clean the lift with warm water or a soap solution and check that the castors are free from dirt and hair. Do
not use cleaning agents containing phenol or chlorine, as this could damage the aluminium and the plastic materials. If
disinfection is needed, 70 % ethanol, 45 % isopropanol or similar should be used.
Storage and transportation
If the lift is not to be used for some time or e.g., during transport, we recommend that the emergency stop button be
pressed in. The hoist should be transported and stored in -10 ° C to + 50 ° C and in normal humidity, 30% -75 %.
The air pressure should be between 700 and 1060 hPa. Let the hoist reach room temperature before the batteries are
charged or the hoist is used.
