SECTION 7—MAINTENANCE

Detecting Wear and Damage

It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, spreader bar and any pivot for slings for signs of cracking, fraying, deformation or deterioration. Replace any defective parts immediately and ensure that the lift is not used until repairs are made.

Cleaning the Sling and the Lift

The sling should be washed regularly in water temperature of 180°F (82°C) and a biological solution. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent, is all that is needed to clean the patient lift. The lift can be cleaned with non‐abrasive cleaners.
