All parts of the Invacare Lift 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 brakes, 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.

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

Lubricating the Lift

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.1.

The Invacare lift is designed for minimum maintenance. However, a six month check and lubrication should ensure continued safety and reliability.

Keep lift and slings clean and in good working order. Any defect should be noted and reported to your dealer as soon as possible.

The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease (waterproof auto lubricant) may be applied to the ball bearing swivel of the casters once a year. Apply more frequently if the casters are exposed to extreme moist conditions.

Refer to FIGURE 7.1 for lubrication points. Lubricate all pivot points. Wipe all excess lubricant from lift surface.
