Introduction:

IndeeLift’s patented line of Human Floor Lifts (HFLs) is a type of human lifts unlike any other available.

This family of products has been designed to assist individuals who have fallen to the floor and are unable

to get up without assistance. The rugged and reliable IndeeLift HFLs are purpose-built appliances built in

the USA with UL and CE certified components and are available in consumer/small business, professional-

healthcare and emergency-medical-services models.

The HFL-400-FTS (Floor-to-Stand) is a Human Floor Lift designed for self or assisted operation in the home

or business. This appliance can lift a person up to 400 pounds (181kg) from the floor or a seated height to

a standing position without risk of injury to the fallen or anyone assisting them.

The HFL-FTS lift can be used to lift a person from the floor, wheelchair, commode, couch, or any other

place a user may be seated and need assistance to get to a standing position. HFL-FTS lifts are also

configured to raise the user from a standing position at the floor to assist in getting onto a bed or gaining

access to higher locations in the home without having to climb a stepladder, along with other places that

a mobility challenged user may need to access.

As a fall recovery appliance, these HFLs are extremely maneuverable and their small footprint allows fall

recovery to occur in even the tightest of places. The HFLs replace large and cumbersome sling-style lifts,

helping fallen people to recover and get back on their feet quickly, while greatly reducing the risks.

HFL-400-FTS User’s Manual

Overview:

This manual covers the HFL-400-FTS consumer model which is designed for use in the home and small

businesses, (Assisted Living, Residential, Hospices). The HFL-400-FTS is engineered to accommodate

persons weighing up to 400 pounds or 181kg. This unit is referred to as the “FTS” throughout this

manual.

The FTS is operated with a wired remote control in a portable “roll-around” configuration. This state-of-

the-art product was designed to easily lift mobility challenged individuals from the floor to a sitting or

standing position and can be safely self-operated or operated with the assistance of a helper, without

injury to the lifted person or any helper. The FTS safely lifts a person up to 30” from the floor to achieve a

full standing position.

Individuals that fall must be assessed for injuries that may require medical assistance. Use of

this human floor lift after sustaining a serious injury resulting from a fall is discouraged to avoid what could result

In Death or Serious Injury. Instead of using this lift if a serious injury is noted, phone 911 for medical assistance.

Self-Operation: After a fall, the fallen person scoots, crawls or rolls over to the FTS, slides or tilts up onto

the mounting ramp seat, pushes a button on the wired remote activating the motor which raises them

from the floor to any point that is comfortable for them to stand up. The FTS can be stopped at the height

of an exercise bike or at the height of a chair/wheelchair for a safe transfer with the FTS doing all of the

heavy lifting.

Assisted Operation: A helper/caregiver can easily wheel the FTS to the fallen person and assist them

mounting the ramp seat, if necessary. The helper or the user then pushes the up button on the wired

remote, activating the motor which raises the fallen person from the floor to a standing position or to a

level that allows the user to transfer as required.

Once up from the floor, the fallen person can stop at chair height to take a breath and/or rest comfortably

or simply get up and walk away or be directly transferred to a wheelchair, bed, toilet or recliner, all

without the risk of injuries related to the fall recovery. If further assistance is required, the user can be

lifted to a standing height allowing them to walk away without manual standing.

Standing Operation:The FTS provides users a method to be lifted while standing on a floor to a safe

height 12-14 inches from the floor. This application can assist the user onto a bed that may be the perfect

height to get up from but too tall for the user to negotiate or just a high shelf needing a few extra inches

of height.

IndeeLift HFLs are covered by US and international patents including US 9,808,388 and EURO PAT 3151803

HFL-400-FTS User’s Manual

This product contains moving parts where hands or feet could be injured if they are in an

inappropriate location. Users and caregivers must be aware of everyone’s body parts that could be trapped between the seat

platform and the floor or between the seat platform and any obstruction located above the seat platform level, that when

contacted, could cause Minor or Serious Injury.

HFL-FTS Features/Functionality:

Seated Lifts

The IndeeLift FTS is primarily designed to raise a seated person from the floor, or any level above the floor, to a

height that allows the user to stand directly up or to be transferred as required.

For those who are able to walk away once they are on their feet, the FTS lifts the user to a seated level and then, as

the lifting continues, the seat tilts forward allowing the transfer of the user’s weight to their legs at a comfortable

level as dictated by the height of the specific user. The FTS has been designed and tested to work with individuals of

any height up to 6’4.

For users with less mobility, the transfer directly to a wheelchair or power chair is accomplished by raising the seat

height to about 21” (53 cm), which allows a height difference of 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm) for lift-free transfers from most

seated positions or whatever height will allow a gravity-assisted transfer.

Use as a Standing Lift

A secondary function of the FTS is to provide lift assistance to a standing person needing a little lift to access a bed or

some tall cabinets or the shelf in the closet at home or the office.

The FTS provides users a method to be lifted while standing, to a safe level 12-14 inches from the floor. This

application can assist the user onto a bed that may be the perfect height to get up from but too tall for the user get

up onto. This function can also assist where single or dual step level changes may need to be overcome in the home

or office.

Small Footprint and Easy Portability

The FTS is a portable lift that is rolled around on wheels like a traditional dolly. The small footprint allows it to be

positioned in many places other lifts simply cannot go. With a turning radius of 34”(86 cm), the FTS can go just about

anywhere including most small bathrooms and hallways.

Mounting Ramp Seat-Tilt

The FTS patented design includes a mounting ramp seat that eliminates the need to ever "lift" a person manually and

a tracking function that allows the seat to shift forward as the user is lifted and shifting their weight onto their legs. A

user on the floor either scoots onto the lift using the front ramp or they can tilt up onto the seat. The FTS seat plate

can either be locked in a stationary position or unlocked to allow the seat plate to rotate forward to allow a user to

get to a standing position. Two locking tabs are located at the rear of the seat plate, one on each side of the main

vertical column.

Wired Remote

The wired remote has a 5’ (1.5m) retractable cord, allowing the user or a helper to operate the lift. The wired remote

has physical, easy-operate button controls that indicate the up and down functionality. The wired remote is stored on

the FTS’s handles with the hanger clip.

HFL-400-FTS User’s Manual

Adjustable and/or Removable Rise-Assist Handles

The rise-assist handles have been engineered to provide leverage for the seated party to assist in the process of

standing once they are up from the floor. The arms can swing away from the seat when needed. They are also

removable to allow for mount assistance or a direct transfer to a wheelchair or other destination.

Rechargeable Battery

The FTS comes standard with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack and charging unit. Charging is accomplished by

plugging the charging unit’s AC power cord into a standard AC wall power outlet, (see Preparing the HFL- 400-FTS for

use on Page 8). A full charge takes about eight hours. The control system will provide a beep tone when operated and

batteries are in need of being charged.

California requires the following notice: WARNING: Lithium-ion batteries and products that contain

lithium-ion batteries can expose you to chemicals including cobalt lithium nickel oxide, and nickel, which are known to the

State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Lithium-Ion batteries offer light weight, high energy density, low memory effect and long-life. The

charger automatically shuts off when charging is complete, which prevents over-charging. The battery should be charged in a

clean, dry location, away from direct sunlight, sparks or flame. Failure to recharge the battery at least once every three

months may result in the battery no longer accepting a charge. The battery should be fully charged before storing the FTS for

extended periods. If the battery needs replacing, dispose of the old battery at a recycling center that accepts rechargeable

batteries.

HFL-400-FTS Component Identification:

HFL-400-FTS User’s Manual

Components and Controls:

Wired Remote

Power cords could cause strangulation. Keep young children from playing with or around the FTS to avoid

mishaps that could result in death or serious injury.

The wired remote control is connected to the FTS with a coiled cord and is used to

raise and lower the seat by pressing the up or down button. Raising or lowering the

seat takes approximately 75 seconds. The wired remote has graphics indicating the

up and down functionality. The wired remote is generally stored on the FTS’s

handles with the hanger clip. If intended for self-operation, the wired remote should

be stored on one of the rise assist handles (see Photos on Page 8).

Rise-Assist Handles

The Rise-Assist handles provide support and balance when standing from the seat

or when using the FTS in a standing mode. The Rise-Assist handles are positioned on the lower bracket

for seated operation and on the upper brackets for standing operation. If desired, one or both rise-assist

handles can be swung away from the seat by lifting one inch and then rotating them away from the seat.

They are also removable to allow a direct transfer to a wheelchair or other destination. To remove a rise-

assist handle, remove the locking pin at the bottom of the handle, (as shown), then lift the handle

upward. Note: There are two locking pins on the lower bracket, (one for each handle). Each lower handle

locking pin is secured to the main column with a lanyard, as shown.

Handles Shown in Lower and Upper Brackets Remove Locking Pin Then Lift Handle Upward

HFL-400-FTS User’s Manual

Preparing the HFL-400-FTS for Use:

Unpacking the HFL-400-FTS:

The FTS comes packaged for shipment in a carton that is sealed with shipping tape. The unit ships without

the wheels attached. Packed inside the shipping carton will be the FTS, user manual and a box containing the

wheel components, instruction sheet and wrench, as well as the AC power cord that connects to the battery

charger.

•Cut or remove the shipping tape on the top flaps of the carton.

•Stand the packing carton with the heavy end down.

•Open the box and remove the foam and cardboard shipping reinforcement inserts.

•Remove the box containing the wheel components and the AC power cord.

•Slide the FTS out of the box in its upright position on the floor.

•Attach the wheels by following the instructions found in the box with the wheelcomponents and wrench.

•Remove the wired remote from its protective bag.

•Test the FTS by raising and lowering the seat using the wired remote’s up and down buttons.

•Properly dispose of the packaging materials.

If the unit is intended for self-operation, use the hanger clip on the back of the wired remote to

place it on one of the lower rise-assist handles. If the unit is intended for assisted operation, place the wired remote on one

of the upper transport handles.

HFL-400-FTS User’s Manual

Charging the Battery:

California requires the following notice: WARNING: Lithium-ion batteries and products that

contain lithium-ion batteries can expose you to chemicals including cobalt lithium nickel oxide, and nickel, which are known

to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

It is recommended that the FTS be fully charged before its first use.

Position the FTS near a standard commercial AC wall power outlet.

Attach the female end of the AC power cord to the connector on top of the FTS’s battery charger.

Attach the male end of the AC power cord to a standard commercial AC wall power outlet.

The green LED on the battery charger becomes lit and, within 15 seconds, the LED on the battery lights green or red. A

red LED means the battery is still charging. A green LED means the battery is completely charged.

After an initial charge of up to eight hours, the battery is fully charged and the red LED on the battery turns green.

Once the unit is fully charged, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and wrap it around the cord bracket on

the charger like you would a vacuum cleaner.

When the FTS’s battery is running low, it will emit a steady tone when pressing the up or down

button on the wired remote. This indicates that it’s time to recharge the battery. Each charge is good for at least 10 lifts,

depending on the weight of the person being lifted. If you need to use the FTS when the battery requires charging, or if the

battery fails to operate the FTS, the lift can be operated with the power cord connected to an AC wall outlet.

HFL-400-FTS User’s Manual

Operation:

Ensure that any users are thoroughly familiar with the correct operation of

the FTS-400 before they use it to lift themselves or someone else.

Moving the HFL-FTS

Almost any able-bodied person, as young as 8 years old, can move the FTS around in a single level space. The

person moving the FTS stands behind the lift and places one foot on the motor at the rear of the unit and then

gently tilts the FTS rearward by pulling the handles toward them. They can now pull or push to FTS to the

required location.

Raising or lowering the lift height to match the height of the user provides a more comfortable transport. It is

more practical in many cases to pull the FTS from behind allowing the operator the ability to open doors and

traverse thresholds and other impediments to smooth travel.

As you stop at the desired location, ensure there are no foreign objects beneath the seat before

lowering the seat or tilting the unit back to the upright position to avoid minor or serious injury.

Attempting to transport an individual while seated on the lift seat is not recommended except in extreme circumstances

that require it. If required, position the seat 12-14” above the floor before moving the occupied lift.

Functional Overview

The FTS provides both seated-lift and standing-lift functionality. This manual covers the standing-lift function and

three separate seated-lift scenarios: Floor to Transfer; Transfer to Stand; and Floor to Stand. Each of these can be

performed with or without assistance as determined by the situational requirements.The primary consideration for

self-operation is the ability to get to the FTS. The amount of assistance required is determined by the specific

circumstances and user needs.

Floor-to-Transfer operation is when a person is lifted from the floor and delivered in a seated position to a

wheelchair, bed or other destination. Transfer-to-Stand is where the person needing assistance is in a chair,

wheelchair, bed or other seated position and needs to stand. Floor-to-Stand is where a person is on the floor and

needs to be lifted to a standing position.
