SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT: Before using patient lift, please read and adhere to the following safety precautions and warnings. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or damage to your patient lift.

Always consult your healthcare professional to determine safe methods most suitable for your individual abilities. Protect yourself, your attendant and patient lift by having it serviced regularly. If you experience any malfunction, contact your Lumex dealer immediately, as a hazardous condition could result, causing personal injury or damage to your patient lift.

Periodic inspection, adjustment and replacement of worn parts are necessary to provide years of excellent service.

WARNINGS

Warning: Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT USE the equipment. Contact the carrier or your authorized Lumex dealer for further instructions.

Warning: Patient lift may tip over if used incorrectly. Read and adhere to the operating instructions prior to lifting anyone.

Warning: When transferring a patient, always keep the patient centered over the base.

Warning: This patient lift is designed for transfer only. It is not intended to be used for transporting or moving a patient from one location to another.

Warning: The LF1030 Hydraulic Patient Lift / LF1040 Electric Patient Lift maximum weight capacity is 400 pounds.

Warning: Ensure that all loops on the lifting slings are correctly attached to the hooks to prevent the patient from sliding or falling out of the sling, which could result in personal injury. Never use the patient lift to lift or transfer anything other than a person.

Warning: Do not lock the brakes or block the wheels when lifting. The casters must be FREE to roll to allow the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed, or any stationary object.

Warning: To ensure stability while transferring a patient, the patient lift legs should be locked in the maximum open position.

Warning: Replace any worn or broken parts immediately! Torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings can fail, resulting in personal injury. Use slings that are only in good condition.
