WARNING!
Risk of Falling
Maintenance MUST be performed only by qualified
personnel.
Improper assembly may cause injury or damage.
– Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is
necessary to assure proper operation.
– DO NOT overtighten the mounting hardware. This
will damage the mounting bracket.

Service Interval

At normal daily operation, a service check-up should take place every
year, according to the Safety Inspection Checklist. When performing
annual or regular maintenance, all parts designed to carry load must
be, as a minimum, tested with maximum load. All safety features
must be checked according to EN ISO 10535:2006 Annex B.

Equipment Regulations 1998, require any equipment that is used

General Maintenance

Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts, enhance
smooth operation and extend the life expectancy of the lift.
Follow the maintenance procedures described in this manual
to keep your patient lift in continuous service.
The Invacare® Patient Lift is designed to provide a maximum of safe,
efficient and satisfactory service with minimum care and maintenance.
It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, hanger bar
and any pivot points for signs of wear, cracking, fraying, deformation
or deterioration. All parts of the Invacare® patient lift are made of
the best grades of steel, but metal to metal contact will wear after
considerable use. Replace any defective parts immediately and ensure
that the lift is not used until repairs are made. Refer to the Safety
Inspection Checklist for specific information regarding wear items.
There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the casters or
brakes, other than cleaning, lubrication and checking axle and swivel
bolts for tightness. Remove all debris, etc. from the wheel and swivel
bearings. If any parts are worn, replace these parts immediately.
If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your Dealer
or Invacare® representative immediately and advise him/her of your
problem.
