8. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE & DAILY CHECK LIST
All Oxford/Hoyer products are designed for minimum maintenance, however some safe-
ty checks and procedures are required. A schedule of DAILY tasks is detailed below.
Daily checks and a six monthly service, inspection and test will ensure a lift is kept in
optimum safe working condition. A list of spare parts is available upon request.
The LOAD TEST and certification should only be carried out by qualified personnel or
an authorised service agent / dealer.
DAILY CHECK LIST: Sunrise Medical strongly recommends the following checks be
carried out on a daily basis and before using lift.
• MAKE sure the lift moves freely on its castors.
• MAKE sure the spreader bar is free to rotate and swing
• EXAMINE the spreader bar/cradle is firmly attached to the boom.
• EXAMINE the sling hooks/clips on the spreader bar/cradle and side suspenders for
excessive wear.
• MAKE sure the legs open and close correctly.
• OPERATE the hand control to confirm the boom raises and lowers satisfactorily.
• ON electric powered lifts check the operation of the emergency stop button.
• EXAMINE slings for fraying or other damage. DO NOT use any sling if damaged or
if the sling shows signs of wear.
• CONFIRM the lift is not giving a low battery alarm when the hand control is oper-
ated. If the alarm sounds, DO NOT use, and place on charge immediately.
• CHECK fasteners for tightness and wear.
