Time of maintenance
CAUTION
Repairs and replacements may only be undertaken by trained persons and only genuine
replacement parts of Vermeiren should be used (see the maintenance manual).
The last page of this manual contains a registration form for the specialist dealer to record
each service.
The service frequency depends on the frequency and intensity of use. Contact your dealer to
agree to a common timetable for inspection/maintenance/repair.
For the maintenance manual, refer to the Vermeiren website: www.vermeiren.com.
Before each use
Inspect the following points:
All parts: present and undamaged or unworn.
All parts: clean, see §5.3.
Condition of frame parts: no deformation, instability, weakness or loose connections.
Brakes: no visible damage and/or dirt.
Control box, manual control, battery charger, relevant cables: no damage such as wires that
have become frayed, broken or exposed. Check that the electrical adjustment of the
cantilever arm is working properly, using the manual control.
Battery status: charge the battery when necessary, see §3.3.
Approx. every 8 weeks
Depending on the frequency of use, check the following:
Lubrication of the joints of the cantilever arm
Condition of the casters
Whether there is any visible damage to the casing of the control box, battery, battery
charger and the manual controls
Whether the cables are fit for use
Recharge the battery
Approx. every 6 months or for every new user
Depending on the frequency of use check the following:
Cleanliness
General condition
Casters are working
If the resistance to rotation is too great, clean the casters. If this is insufficient, please consult
your dealer.
Yearly or more often
Have the patient hoist inspected and serviced by your specialist dealer, at least once a year, or
more often. The minimum maintenance frequency depends on use and should therefore be
commonly agreed upon with your specialist dealer.
