Viking XL Instruction Guide English 7EN135104-03 2008-02-14 Applies to the following models: Viking XL
Prod. No. 2040003
Product Description Viking XL is a mobile lift that has been specially developed for lifting heavy patients. With a 300 kg (660 lbs.) capacity, Viking XL is ideal for most normal lifting situations, even for lifting from the floor. Viking XL is a fully electric mobile lift, i.e., both raising and lowering of the lift arm and width adjustment of the base are done with electric motors. To ensure maximum safety for caregivers and patients, Viking XL is equipped with both mechanical and electrical emergency lowering. For the caregiver, manoeuvring a mobile lift with a heavy patient can be a difficult task.
Avoid using Viking XL for transferring very heavy patients; instead, use a wheelchair/hygiene chair for transfers whenever possible. During the actual lifting situation, when the patient is suspended in the sling, it may be easier to move the empty wheelchair to the lift, instead of vice versa. In each case, assess the situation to determine how many caregivers are needed to perform a safe and ergonomically correct lift and transfer. When using the lift, an individually tested sling and other accessories are essential for good function and safety.
In this document, the person being lifted is called the ”patient” and the person helping is called the ”caregiver”. is a warning triangle used to warn of situations that demand extra care and attention. IMPORTANT! Carefully read these instructions and the instructions for the particular lifting accessory being used. Lifting and transferring a person always present a potential risk. It is essential to thoroughly understand the contents of this instruction guide. Only trained personnel should use the equipment. If you have questions, please contact Liko or your local Liko representative.

9. Reset the emergency stop by turning the button in the direction indicated by the arrows.
8. Place the Quick Reference Guide in the holder on the mast. After assembly, check to ensure that:
• the width adjustment of the base coincides with the indicators on the handcontrol • the indicator lamps on the front of the control box light when charging.
• the lifting motion coincides with the indicators on the handcontrol • emergency lowering (mechanical and electrical) functions properly • wheel brakes work properly
Use the Slingbar Properly! Viking XL is accompanied by Universal Twinbar 670 (Prod. No. 3156077) for max. load 300 kg (660 lbs.). It is equipped with four suspension hooks, where the two wider hooks are intended for the sling’s upper strap loops and the two narrower hooks are for the leg support loops. Load MUST be applied to all four hooks during lifting. he wide slingbar provides generous space for the patient’s T upper body, even when the arms are held inside the sling. When an alternative slingbar is required, there are a number of straightslingbars available, with a max. load of 300 kg (660 lbs.), that can also be used with Viking XL.

Emergency stop To activate: Push the red emergency stop button on the control box. To reset: Turn the button in the direction of the arrows. Electrical emergency lowering With a narrow object, press the hole marked "EMERGENCY" on the control box. The object used to press must not be sharp, since this may cause damage on the control box!
Mechanical emergency lowering Pull the red emergency lowering regulator straight upward. The mechanical emergency lowering device functions only when the lift arm is loaded, i.e., when the patient is in the lift.
Locking the wheels The rear wheels can be locked for rotation and lateral movement. To lock the wheels, press down the brake lever above the wheel with your foot. To release the wheels, press up the brake lever with your foot. During lifting, wheels should remain unlocked so that the lift may shift to the patient's center of gravity. The wheels should however be locked if there is a risk of the lift moving into the patient, for example when lifting from the floor. Locked wheels during lifting increases the risk of the lift tilting over.
Never pull the lift by the actuator! This may result in damage to the lift and possible injury.

Charging the Batteries
Battery capacity
A
If the battery needs charging a beep tone will sound and a lamp on the handcontrol (A) will light. There is however enough power left in the battery for a few more lifts.
A display on the control box shows the current battery capacity. When all fields of the display are black, the battery is fully charged. When a fuse symbol appears (see illustration), the battery must be re-charged immediately. off. If this lamp continues to light after 8 hours, the batteries probably need to be replaced. Discontinue charging and replace batteries. Never charge batteries in a wet area! If the lift is not in daily use, we recommend that the emergency stop be pressed in after the lift has been used. This breaks the current and conserves battery power. Make sure the lift is fully charged before pressing in the emergency stop.
For maximum battery life, batteries must be charged regularly. We recommend charging after use or each night. Maximum charge is reached after about 6 hours. When the batteries are fully charged, the charger disconnects automatically. NOTE! A yellow indicator lamp on the control unit lights constantly during charging. When the batteries are fully charged, the yellow lamp shuts
Charging procedure Alt. A
Alt. B
With built-in charger:
With wallmounted charger or table charger housing:
Plug the coiled cable into a wall socket (100-240 VAC~). Check that the yellow lamp on the control box lights (indicates charging). If the charger cable is stretched out it should be replaced to avoid the risk of the cable getting caught and tear.
Loosen the holder for the charger cable. Remove the battery box from the control box by loosening the locking device on top of the battery box. Alt. A. Place the battery box on the wallmounted charger. Check that the charger is plugged into the wall socket and that the yellow lamp on the front of the charger lights (indicates charging). Alt. B. Place the battery box on the charger in the table charger housing. Check that the charger is plugged into the wall socket and that the yellow lamp on the front of the charger lights (indicates charging). This alternative can be used if you do not want to mount the charger on the wall.
Note! The lift does not operate when the charger cable is plugged into a wall socket. Old batteries are to be left at the nearest recycling station or given to personnel authorized by Liko. Viking XL • 7EN135104-03

Maximum Load Different maximum allowable loads may apply to different products on the assembled lift system: lift, slingbar, sling and other accessories. For the total lift system, the lowest max. allowable load indicated for the respective products on the system always applies. For example: A Viking XL that is approved for 300 kg (660 lbs.) may be equipped with a lifting accessory that is approved for 200 kg (440 lbs.). In this case, the applicable max. load is 200 kg (440 lbs.) for the total lift system. Study markings on the lift and lifting accessories or contact your Liko representative if you have any questions.
Recommended Accessories Slingbars and accessories recommended for use with the Viking series of mobile lifts are described below. Changing slingbars and adding extra accessories affects the maximum lifting height of the lift. Before changing slingbars and accessories, it is important to ensure that it will still be possible to achieve the desired lifting height for situations in which the lift will be used. For choice of appropriate slings and other lifting accessories, see e.g., the brochure ”Lifting Accessories”. For further guidance on choosing a sling, consult the instruction guide for the respective sling model. Here, you will find advice on suitable combinations of Liko slingbars and Liko slings. Contact your Liko representative or visit www.liko.com for advice and information on Liko’s product range.
