General Information and Safety Warnings

This user manual contains important safety instructions and information regarding the use of Poweo®
Urban patient hoists.
The Poweo® Urban should only be used by trained personnel. Please read this manual before
using the hoist for the first time.
The Poweo® Urban should only be maintained by qualified personnel and with original parts.
The Poweo® Urban is designed and engineered to safely transfer patients up to 150 kg.
Beyond this weight, do not use the Poweo® Urban: call SCALEO Medical or your distributor,
who will offer you a hoist that best suits your needs.
The Poweo® Urban is not intended to be fitted with a weighing instrument: the installation
of such an instrument between arm and suspension would adversely affect the stability of the
lift and may cause the patient to fall.
The Poweo® Urban is not intended to be fitted with a rigid stretcher: the installation of a
device instead of a flexible strap would adversely affect the stability of the lift and may cause
the patient to fall.
The Poweo® Urban is not intended for use in balneotherapy, as saline or chlorinated mists can
quickly degrade the device, rendering it unusable or hazardous.
Use straps developed especially for the 4-point suspension of SCALEO Medical Poweo® Urban
hoists. Using straps from other manufacturers is not recommended. If you wish to use straps
from other manufacturers under your own responsibility, you will need proof of compatibility
and to test them before using them with a patient. SCALEO Medical cannot be held
responsible for any incident arising from the use of non-recommended straps.
Straps should be used for lifting and transferring people. Never use the hoists to lift or carry
objects.
