CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance is essential to keeping your Lumex patient lift in a safe operating condi- tion. In addition to inspecting the unit before each use, periodic maintenance checks should be done. We further recommend that this unit be serviced at least once annually by an authorized dealer.

Warning: It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use. Ensure that all hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is functioning properly. Failure to do so could result in patient / attendant injury or damage to your patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, resulting in serious injury. Only use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use. Destroy and discard old worn and unusable slings.

When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your authorized Lumex dealer, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.

Before each use

Before each use of the patient lift, ensure that:

•All nuts and bolts are tight

•The lift moves freely (with caster brakes off)

•Rear caster brakes operate properly

•Base adjustment mechanism operates easily

•Swivel bar S hooks are secured tightly

•The hydraulic pump operates properly (LF1030 only)

The electronic components operate properly (LF1040 only)

Battery

To increase the longevity of the battery, keep the battery on charge when not in use.

Lubrication

Your Lumex patient lift was designed with minimum maintenance in mind; however, a six (6) month check and lubrication should ensure that your patient lift will remain in peak operating condition. The casters MUST roll and swivel freely. Lightweight waterproof grease (such as automobile lubricant) should be applied to the ball bearings of the casters every six (6) months. Apply grease more frequently if the casters are exposed to periods of excess moisture. Lubricate all pivot points with lightweight oil. Clean patient lift of all excess oil and grease.

Before use of the patient lift, and every two months thereafter, place a drop of oil on the following areas:

•The point where mast and boom connect

•Swivel bar hooks

•Pump handle hinge

•Caster axles

•The point where pump and boom connect (LF1030 only) The point where actuator and boom connect (LF1040 only)
