7CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift in a safe operating condition. 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 a Graham-Field authorized distributor.

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.

WARNING: Service and repair of the Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift should be performed only by a Graham-Field authorized distributor. Graham-Field is not responsible for any consequence resulting from any unauthorized service or repair.

WARNING: Unauthorized modification of the patient lift or the use of non-Lumex replacement parts may change the structure of the lift and could create a hazardous condition, which may result in serious injury and will void the warranty.

WARNING: The electronics and actuator contain no serviceable components. If service is required, the unit must be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the electronics or actuator or obtain local service; this will void the warranty and may result in damage to the unit. Consult your Graham-Field authorized distributor for further information.

When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.
