2. Tighten the knob firmly by turning the knob clockwise.

WARNING:
Make sure that knobs are Properly fastened. Loose knobs can make the pipes wobbly and the Molift Raiser Pro unsafe to use.

The knee cushions are adjusted individually. The leg support has 7-step adjustments from 0,3 to 0,51 meters. Follow these two steps when mounting the leg support:

1. Pull release wire and slide the leg support on pipes, cushion facing user side.
2. Release the wire and let the leg support settle in the desired position.

Checklist after assembly

WARNING
Don`t start using Molift Raiser Pro before completing the checklist after assembly.

Use this checklist to verify that the Molift Raiser Pro is Properly installed and can operate correctly and safely before use. See assembly information on the previous page for details.

• Make sure that the leg support is mounted correctly.
• Make sure that both knobs between outer pipes and base plate are mounted correctly and Properly tightened
• Make sure that the handle is mounted correctly.
• Make sure Molift Raiser Pro moves freely.
• Make sure the brake works.

Adjusting leg support height

1. Pull wire on the back side of cushions. Move leg support up or down to desired height.
2. When correct knee support height is obtained, release the wire and let the leg support settle in desired height. You will hear the leg support “click” in place and the red wire is straight. The knee support height can be read from the scale on the pipe. The number above the leg support bracket refers to the correct height.

WARNING
Make sure both sides are properly settled. Push up or down until you get the auditive feedback click. Unattached leg support can cause knee support to slide down and make the Molift Raiser Pro unsafe to use.

Positioning Molift Raiser Pro

1. The user’s feet are placed on the footplate.
2. Adjust the height of the leg support so that the top of the support is below the knee of the user.
3. When desired height is reached the leg support “click” in place.

Transfering user

1. Lock both wheels by pressing down the brake on one side. Both wheels lock regardless of which side the assistant steps on. Place one foot on the edge of the base plate. Choose a grip on the handle that is comfortable for both the assistant and the user.
2. Encourage the user to stand up, at the same time, counterbalancing the user’s weight using a foot and hands (use your body weight by leaning backward).
3. Release the brake with one foot. Pull the Molift Raiser backward and then steer it toward the new seating position. Make sure that any wheels are locked in the new seating. The transfer is best done with the user faced in the direction of travel.
4. Lock both wheels. Place a foot on the edge of the foot-plate before the user sits down. Counterbalance while the user sits down. Maintain eye contact with the user during the entire transfer Process.

WARNING
The wheels must always be locked when the user stands up and sits down.
