CLEANING

Regular cleaning is recommended. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long period of time.

sNOTICE: DO NOT wash patient lift under water pressure or steam clean.

CHECKING FOR DAMAGE AND WEAR

It is extremely important to frequently check the areas of the patient lift that are under a great deal of stress for damage and wear. These areas include slings, spreader bars, spreader bar suspension and mounting hardware, pump mounting hardware and all pivot points. Inspect for signs of crack- ing, fraying, deformation, and any loose components

sNOTICE: Replace any defective parts immediately, and make certain that the patient lift is not used until repairs are made. Contact your authorized Lumex dealer for replace- ment parts.

CARE OF SLINGS

Lumex slings are washable at 150° F and autoclavable at 185° F for 30 minutes. The head support's plastic insert should be removed before washing. The slings can be dried by using a dryer on LOW heat or by hanging.

sNOTICE: DO NOT bleach slings!
