The MiniLift125 is an electric sit-to-stand lift for people with
impaired mobility. For indoor use and in combination with
the right accessories, it is designed to assist a patient com-
fortably and conveniently to a standing position. It provides
support under the feet, against the shins and behind the
back. The MiniLift125 is appropriate for patients who have
a degree of stability while standing. The MiniLift125 helps to
train the patient’s leg muscles and sense of balance.
RoMedic’s slings and lifts are part of the SystemRoMedic
concept, which takes a holistic approach to patient
transfers. SystemRoMedic has four categories of transfers:
transfer, positioning, support and lifting.
Max load: 125 kg/275 lbs

MANUAL
Final inspection
Inspect the lift for signs of wear and damage. Check all four castor wheels and castor wheel
locks.
Check all connections and xtures including screws and bolts. Check the packaging for any
loose bolts and screws. If you nd any, locate their intended positions on the lift and replace
them.
Check emergency stop function by depressing the emergency stop, and then pressing either
the Up or Down button. If nothing happens when the Up or Down buttons are pressed, the
emergency stop is functioning properly.
Grasp the handset, press the Up button and run the lift all the way up. Then, press the Down
button and run the lift all the way down.
Test lift function by lifting a person (not a patient) using an approved sling. At the same time,
check the emergency lowering function with someone on the lift.
If the equipment is satisfactory upon inspection, connect the freestanding adaptor for charging
to the lift and to a power outlet, and then check to ensure that the charging lamp on the control
box lights up.
NOTE!
Before the lift is used for the rst time, it must be charged for at least 4 hours. See section on
Charging batteries.
Keep the manual together with the lift.
Operation/trial use

MANUAL
Select a lift vest that is the correct size for the patient. Place the lift vest
behind the patient’s lower back.
Fasten the clasp and tighten the belt.
Place the lift close to the patient and place the patient’s feet far in on
the footrest.
Adjust the leg support to t the patient (about two ngers below the
kneecaps).
Loosen the screws for the boom somewhat. Draw out the boom
towards the patient for easier application of the sling/vest.
Select a loop close to the patient. This is easier if the patient can lean
forward somewhat. Connect the loop to the hook on the boom.
Draw the boom back until it stops. This is easier if the patient can lean
forward somewhat. Tighten the screws.
Ask the patient to lean back slightly and grasp the handle on the
boom. Begin raising. Pay close attention to the patient. Stop raising
if the patient is uncomfortable. Start raising the lift, and then stop to
ensure that everything is as it should be before continuing.

MANUAL
Trouble-shooting
If the lift is not working properly (up or down), check the following:
Make sure the emergency stop button is not pressed in and that all cables are connected. Check the battery level and
check to ensure that the battery charges via the adaptor.
If the lift is not working properly, contact RoMedic.
The lift can be raised but not lowered (or vice versa), or the base-width adjustment only works in one direction. Check
the following:
That all cables are properly and securely connected. Pull out the contact and plug it in again rmly.
If the lift is not working properly, contact RoMedic.
If the lift makes unusual noises, check the following:
Try to locate the source of the sound, take the lift out of operation and contact RoMedic.
Other maintenance details:
The lift must undergo thorough inspection at least once per year. This must be done by authorized RoMedic service
personnel and in accordance with RoMedic’s service manual.
Repairs and maintenance may only be done by authorized personnel using original spare parts.
Spent batteries are to be left at the nearest recycling station or returned for recycling to RoMedic or a
RoMedic dealer.
Cleaning
When necessary, clean the lift with warm water or rubbing alcohol and ensure that the castor wheels are free of dirt and
hair. Do not use cleaning agents containing phenol or chlorine, as this may damage aluminium and polyamide materials.
Storage
If the lift is not to be used for some time or e.g., when transporting, we recommend that the emergency stop button be
pressed in. Store the hoist at a temperature exceeding freezing point and at normal relative humidity (about 60%).
