MAINTENANCE
The lift is designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory service with minimum care and maintenance.
All parts of the stand up lift 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 the casters, other than cleaning, lubrication and checking axle and swivel bolts for tightness. Remove all debris, etc. from the caster 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 them of the problem.
Hydraulic Pump
All parts of the hydraulic pump are precision machined then carefully assembled and tested to ensure reliable service. The pump assembly is completely enclosed and sealed with Neoprene rings to prevent leakage of hydraulic oil. A small amount of oil (about a drop) will accumulate around the piston from time to time and should be removed with a facial tissue.
WARNING
The hydraulic pump is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the pump unit MUST be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the hydraulic pump or obtain local service. This will void the warranty and might result in damage and costly repair. Consult your dealer or contact Invacare for information.
Lubricating the Lift
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 8.1.
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.
Lubricate all pivot points. Wipe all excess lubricant from lift surface.
