locking/unlocking of the wheels is done with the foot.
NOTE: When lifting, the wheels should be unlocked so that the lift
can be moved to the patient’s centre of gravity. The wheels should be
locked, however, if there is a risk of the lift rolling into the patient,
for instance, when lifting from the floor.
Locked wheels during lifting can increase the risk of tipping.

Figure 1. Figure 2.
Installation of Latches Lift correctly!
After installation, ensure that Before each lift, make sure that:
the spring loaded latches is taut – the Sling loops at opposite sides of the Sling are at the same height
against the sling bar and moves – all the Sling loops are fastened securely in to the Sling bar hooks
freely in the sling bar hook. – the Sling bar is level during the lift, see Figure 1.
If Sling bar is not level (see Figure 2), lower the user to a firm
surface and adjust according to the Sling in use Instruction Guide.
An improper lift can be uncomfortable for the user and cause
damage to the lift equipment! (see Figure 2).

Description of Functions and Operation (Viking XL)

Universal TwinBar 670
Universal TwinBar 670 (prod. no. 3156077) for a maximum load of 300 kg
(660 lbs) is included with Viking XL. It is equipped with four hooks,
the widest of which are intended for the upper strap loops of the sling
and the narrower hooks for the leg support loops.
It is important that all four hooks carrying the load when lifting.
The wide sling bar provides comfortable space for the upper body
of the patient, even when the arms are on the inside of the sling.
When necessary, a number of different slings for a max. load of 300 kg
(660 lbs) are available. The Liko range also includes a number of different
lifting accessories for max. loads lower than 300 kg (660 lbs).

Before Use
HandControl IR
Always enable the HandControl IR with the lift in question, see Enable IR control.
The hand control has 6 buttons:

large Up and Down buttons simultaneously for approx.
Base widening 2 sec. When a sound signal is emitted, the function is
enabled.

The lift is now ready to be used with the HandControl IR.

If the lift has not been used for more than 24 hours, the system must be enabled by pressing any button
on the control box operation panel before the HandControl IR can be used.

One HandControl IR can control different patient lifts from Liko, equipped with the same IR system.
For more information, read the section ”Communication Mode” on page 9.

 Operation Panel
The lift can be operated directly from the operation panel on top of the control box. On the operation panel there
are a number of indicator lights with corresponding symbols; see the description below.

Operation Panel Indicator Lights:

Hand control enabled (green light)

- illuminates when the control box is receiving signals
from the hand control.

Overload (orange light)

- illuminates if the lift’s recommended max. load
is exceeded, and the lift stops. The indicator turns
off after 3 sec. and the lift operates again. Read more
about Maximum load on page 11.

Service indication (orange light)

The operation panel has 6 buttons: - illuminates when service is needed. Contact the service
technician authorized by Liko/Hill-Rom.

Up

Down (lower speed)
 If the ELT proceeds to shine continuously when lifting,

the lift should be taken out of service.
Base narrowing Contact the service technician authorized by Liko/Hill-Rom.

If the lift has not been used for more than 24 hours, the system must be enabled by pressing any button
on the control box operation panel before the HandControl IR can be used.

Communication Mode (This lift is delivered in unique communication mode.)

The lift has two different communication modes:
Unique Communication Mode: The lift will only be controlled by the HandControl IR (one or more), which is enabled
for IR control of the lift.
Open Communication Mode: More than one lift can be controlled from one (or several) HandControl IR.
Important! If more than one IR-controlled lift is used in the same room, each lift must be set to the unique communication mode
in order to avoid several lifts from being affected simultaneously by one HandControl IR only.
Switching Communication Mode.
When necessary to switch or confirm the communication mode, the two large
Up and Down buttons on the operation panel of the lift should be used.
Press both buttons simultaneously for approx. 2 sec. Await an acoustic
and a visual signal from the operation panel.
Unique Communication Mode is indicated by: an acoustic and visual signal.
Open Communication Mode is indicated by: two acoustic and visual signals.
Finish by enabling the IR control with the HandControl IR, see page 8.

 Charging the Batteries

2
Battery Capacity
Check the battery capacity by pressing the i-button (1). The following
3
information can be read:
2 - Green light: More than 50% of the battery capacity remains.
4 3 - Orange light: 25–50 % of the battery capacity remains.
4 - Orange light: 0–25 % of the battery capacity remains.
The indication lamps light up for about half a minute; and are then turned off.
1 The battery capacity is also shown when the lift is in use.

To obtain max. service life, it is important to charge the batteries regularly. We recommend charging after
use of the lift or every night. Maximum charge is obtained after about 5 hours. When the batteries are fully
charged, the charger switches to “trickle charging” automatically.
During charging the lights shine alternatively (orange, orange, green). For deeply discharged batteries,
the indication for initiated charging can be delayed a few minutes. Completed charging is indicated
by a flashing green light. When the operation time is noticeably shortened, the batteries probably
need changing. Stop charging and switch batteries.
The lift cannot be charged with the emergency stop engaged.
Never charge batteries in a wet area.
NOTE! If the lift is not to be used for a long period, the battery should be connected to charging.

Charging

With built-in charger:

 heck that the charger cable is connected to the control box
C
outlet; see p. 6.
Connect the charger cable to an electrical outlet (100-240 V AC).
Completed charging is indicated by a flashing green light
on the battery.
If the charger cable is permanently stretched, it should be
replaced in order to minimize the risk of the cable getting
stuck and breaking.

NOTE! The lift cannot be used when the charger cable is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Old batteries are to be deposited at the nearest recycling station

or given to personnel authorized by Liko.

 Maximum load
Different maximum loads may apply to different products on the assembled lift unit lift, sling bar, sling and any other
accessories used. For the assembled lift unit, the maximum load is always the lowest maximum load rating for any of the
components. For example, a Viking M which is approved for 205 kg (450 lbs) can be equipped with a lifting accessory which
is approved for 200 kg (440 lbs). In this case, the maximum load of 200 kg (440 lbs) applies to the assembled lift unit.
Study the markings on the lift and lifting accessory, contact your Liko/Hill-Rom representative if you have any questions.

Recommended Lifting Accessories

Using lifting accessories other than those approved can entail a risk.
Generally recommended sling bars and accessories for Viking mobile lifts are described below.
When changing a sling bar or other lifting accessories, the highest possible lifting height of the lift is affected.
Before changing lifting accessories you should always ensure that the lift, after change, can fulfil the desired lifting
height in order to manage the lifting situations for which the lift is to be used.
To select suitable slings and other lifting accessories, refer to the “Lifting Accessories” brochure. For additional
guidance in selecting a sling, study the instruction guide for the respective sling models. Here, you will also
find guidance for combining Liko’s sling bars with Liko’s slings.
Contact your Liko/Hill-Rom representative or visit www.liko.com for advice and information on Liko’s product range.
