NOTE: 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.

All parts of the Invacare 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 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.

Cleaning the Sling and the Lift

The sling should be washed regularly in water temperature not exceeding 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 patient lift. The lift can be cleaned with non‐abrasive cleaners.

Detecting Wear and Damage

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