Care and Maintenance of Bath Lift

NOTE: Follow the maintenance procedures described in this manual to keep the 1900 and 1900S lift in continuous service.

The 1900 series lifts are designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory service with minimum care and maintenance.

All parts of the 1900 series lifts 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.

Invacare recommends a tightened arm rotation. The arm, when placed in the up position, should stay in the up position. Refer to Adjusting Arm Angle and Tension on page 19.

If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your Dealer IMMEDIATELY and advise him/her of your problem.
