USER MANUAL – RAIZER® M – VERSION 1.1

1. Foreword This Raizer is designed primarily for use in private homes. If you intend to use the Raizer in other settings, you should contact us for information about service. It is important to read this manual before using the Raizer. Never use the Raizer to lift a person if you suspect that the person has been hurt in a way that the lifting procedure may deteriorate the person’s wellbeing. The Raizer is a mobile lifting chair which helps a lying person up to an almost standing position in a few minutes. The Raizer can be operated by only a single person. To operate the lifting chair, the Raizer must be assembled around the fallen person (cf. section 11). It can then be operated using the crank handle. The fallen person can be raised to a sitting or almost standing position ready for relocation.
