Invacare® Stand Assist
Cleaning and Disinfecting the Lift
To prevent cross-infection, the hoist must be cleaned and disinfected
after each use.
A soft cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of mild
detergent, is all that is needed to clean the patient lift. The lift can be
cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners.
Never use acids, alkaline or solvents for cleaning the lift. Dry the
lift carefully after cleaning.
Motors, control unit and mounting parts can be damaged if the lift
is cleaned any other way than stated above.
The lift must be wiped with a moistened, firmly wrung cloth with
ordinary household disinfectants. Only use disinfection detergents
approved by the facility.
8.3 Reuse
This product is suitable for reuse. The maximum number of times it
can be reused is dependent upon product condition.
To prevent the transmission of infection, the patient lift and slings
must be cleaned after each use. Before reuse, refer to 8.2 Cleaning
the Sling and the Lift, page 37.
8.4 Detecting Wear and Damage
It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, lifting arm
and any pivot for slings for signs of cracking, fraying, deformation or
deterioration. Replace any defective parts IMMEDIATELY and ensure
that the lift is not used until repairs are made.
8.5 Lubricating the Lift
The Invacare lift is designed for minimum maintenance. However,
a six month check and lubrication should ensure continued safety
and reliability.

Keep lift and slings clean and in good working order. Any defect
should be noted and reported to your dealer as soon as possible.
The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease
(waterproof auto lubricant) may be applied to the ball bearing swivel
of the casters once a year. Apply more frequently if the casters are
exposed to extreme moist conditions.
8.6 Adjusting the Base
The base A adjustment should not require any attention other than
adjusting the linkage rods.
