Page 32

SECTION 8—MAINTENANCE

Clean the lift whenever necessary. Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts, enhance smooth operation and extend the life expectancy of the lift.

Inspect all sling attachments each time they are used to ensure proper connection and patient safety.

Inspect sling material for wear. Refer to Detecting Wear and Damage on page 32.

Inspect the straps for wear. Refer to Detecting Wear and Damage on page 32.

Inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced.

Care and Maintenance of Stand-Up Lift

NOTE: Follow the maintenance procedures described in this manual to keep the stand‐up lift in continuous service.

The Reliant 440 is designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory service with minimum care and maintenance.

All parts of the Reliant 440 are made of the best grades of steel, but metal‐to‐metal contact will wear after considerable use.

There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the casters or wheel locks, 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 immediately and advise him/her of your problem.

Detecting Wear and Damage

It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings and any pivot for slings for signs of cracking, fraying, deformation or deterioration. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately and ensure that the lift is not used until repairs are made.

Cleaning the Sling and the Lift

The sling should be washed regularly in water (maximum water temperature of 180°F (82°C)) and a biological solution. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent, is all that is needed to clean the stand‐up lift. The lift can be cleaned with non‐abrasive cleaners.
