Assembly

Handle reinforcement (exclusively: Likorall 242 S, ES) Press the reinforcement (included in the bag containing the instruction guide) labelled ”Emergency lowering” onto the emergency lowering handle.

Operation

Hand Control Likorall
Likorall is operated with a light push on the buttons of the hand control. The arrow directions should be the same as the direction shown in the illustration. The movement ceases when the button is released. For the Likorall ES, there is a number of hand controls to choose from, depending on how the lift and rail system are equipped, and an IR hand control for wireless operation.
If needed, the lifting motion can also be controlled without hand control via the buttons and respectively, on the end cover of the lift, see page 6.

Emergency stop
For emergency stop: pull the red emergency stop cord.
To reset: turn the button in the direction of the arrows.
The red cord on the lift motor´s end cover is intended for use if an emergency situation occurs.

Lifting accessory with quick-release hook (Likorall: 242 R2R, 243 ES, 250 ES)
Push down the red catch and connect the quick-release hook to the Q-link. Release and check that the catch locks in order to prevent involuntary unhooking from the Q-link. Read more about Liko´s Quick-release Hook system on page 9.

Mechanical emergency lowering (Likorall 242 S/ ES)

1. Move the emergency lowering handle up and down until the patient has been lowered and the lift strap is completely slack. Always ensure that the emergency lowering is made to a bed, wheelchair or other suitable location.
2. After mechanical emergency lowering has been performed, resetting/adjustment of the lifting height is required:
   – Lower the sling bar so that the lift strap is completely slack.
   – Hold down the emergency lowering handle halfway. Simultaneously, tighten the lift strap by turning the black wheel counter clockwise with the other hand.
   Repeat until the desired height has been achieved.

Installation of Latches
After installation, check that the latch locks and runs freely in the sling bar hook.

Electrical emergency lowering
Emergency lower by pushing in the button on the end cover of the lift. Always ensure that the emergency lowering is made to a bed, wheelchair or other suitable location.

Carriages with adjustable friction brake
The amount of drag along the rail can be adjusted on carriages equipped with a friction brake. Turn the brake clockwise for increased resistance and counter clockwise to reduce resistance.
The following carriages have a friction brake: prod. no. 3126011 and 3126015.

Hang-up HandControl Hanger
When not in use, the hand control can be hung on the Hang-up Hand control hanger.

SSP Limit Switch
The lifting motion is stopped electrically with a light touch on the SSP Limit Switch from, for instance, the strap stops, Q-link or if the lift strap is subjected to harmful strain, for example, if it is pulled sideways or folded over during the lifting motion. If the SSP Limit Switch is activated so that the lifting motion stops, the lift can once again be operated after the lift strap is straight again (a short delay in the lifting motion is normal in these cases). The SSP Limit Switch protects the lift motor from mechanical strain and it also prevents squeeze injurie.

Ensure that the lift strap is kept straight and stretched when it runs in and out of the lift motor.

Indication: charging
Likorall indicates in two ways that the battery needs charging:

• Buzzer: sounds when lifting
• LED, A : flashes (red) when lifting

When either of these signals sounds or illuminates, the lift should be charged as soon as possible. See Charging the batteries, page 7.

Never move the lift by pulling the hand control!

Charging the Batteries

In order to ensure maximum battery life, it is important to charge the batteries regularly. We recommend that you charge the batteries after use or every night. Full charge is achieved after max. 8 hours. Fully charged batteries will last for approximately 60 lift cycles.

The lift cannot be charged with the emergency stop engaged.
NOTE! If the lift will not be used for a longer period of time, a charging system should be activated to allow the battery to charge or the emergency stop button should be pressed in order to prevent the battery from discharging.

 Likorall has several charging systems, these systems must never be activated parallelly.

Charging via hand control

1. Check that the emergency stop button is not pressed.
2. Place the hand control in the charger’s socket.
3. Connect the charger to a 100-240 V AC electric socket.
4. A green LED illuminates to indicate that the charger is connected to the electrical grid.
5. The charging starts automatically, and a yellow LED indicates that the batteries are charging.
6. When the battery is fully charged, the charger shuts off automatically and the yellow LED turns off.

Alternative charging procedure
In-Rail Charging
Liko´s In-Rail Charging system is an easy to use charging system. When using the In-Rail Charging system the lift will charge continously. During active lifting the In-Rail Charging system will “pause” and re-activate charging automatically after completed operation.
Indications from IRC:

• A green LED-light on the lift indicate that the lift is ready to use.
• A yellow LED-light on the lift indicate that the lift has low battery capacity, contact Liko if the problem persist.

For more information, please contact your Liko reprecentative or visit our website www.liko.com.

MultiStation
As an alternative to charging via the hand control, the batteries can be charged with a MultiStation installed on the rail system. In this case, Likorall must be equipped with a contact rail or a transfer motor. The Likorall batteries are then charged by parking the lift in the charging position under the MultiStation (see figure).
This charging procedure is also suitable when Likorall is operated by HandControl IR.

Likorall comply with the Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Old batteries are to be deposited at the nearest recycling facility in accordance with local regulations or given to personnel authorized by Liko /Hill-Rom.

Transferring from room to room

Liko’s R2R Room-to-Room system is an effective solution for safe and easy transfer of patients between two or more rooms. The R2R system is mounted without making openings in walls over doors and full isolation is therefore retained between the rooms supported by the system.
The transfer is performed in a safe and easy manner, with the aid of separate rail systems for each room. Liko’s R2R system enables linking together two Likorall when transferring from room to room. The actual transfer operation between two rooms is performed with a comfortable transition for the patient from one Likorall to another.

Mounting Universal SlingBar R2R (Room-to-Room)
The Universal SlingBar R2R has a double hook with Quick-release. The double hook has protection against unintentional detachment.

1. Move Lift 1 with the patient as close to the door way as possible. Lower the lift as far as possible, bearing in mind the patient´s comfort.

2. Move Lift 2 as close to the door opening as possible.
   Lower the lift strap from Lift 2 a sufficient length and connect the Q-link to the Universal SlingBar R2R.
   Check that the safety latches on the R2R connector function properly.

3. Raise Lift 2. The patient is successively moved to the next room and finally suspended in Lift 2 only. When the pressure is relieved from the lift strap for Lift 1, disconnect the lift strap from the Universal SlingBar R2R and the transfer can be carried out in the next room.
   NOTE! To free the Q-link from the Universal SlingBar R2R, it may be necessary to let out additional strap from Lift 1.

Maximum Load

Different maximum loads may apply to different products on the assembled lift system: lift, sling bar, sling and any other accessories used. For the assembled lift system, the maximum load is always the lowest maximum load rating for any of the components. For example, a Likorall which is approved for 200 kg (440 lbs) can be equipped with a sling bar which is approved for 300 kg (660 lbs). In this case, the maximum load of 200 kg (440 lbs) applies to the assembled lift system. Study the markings on the lift and lifting accessories or 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.
The Liko assortment contains many sling bars, slings, stretchers, scales and other accessories to solve most lifting needs. Below is a list of lifting accessories suitable for Likorall.
To select suitable slings and other lifting accessories, please see 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.
