7.1 Daily Check List

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE EACH USE.

Has the battery been charged? Park the lift on the charger whenever the lift is not in use.

Inspect the lift for any damage. If the lift casing does not look properly aligned, or there are any cracks or other damage on the lift, or any parts are missing - DO NOT USE IT. Contact your local representative to have the lift serviced.

Inspect the visible strap for any signs of wear, frays, loose threads or other damage. If there is any evidence of damage - DO NOT USE IT. Contact your local representative to have the lift serviced.

Inspect the sling for tears, frayed straps or loose stitching. If the sling has any of the above damage –DO NOT USE IT. Contact your local representative to have the sling replaced or repaired.

Inspect the carry bar for any signs of cracking or damage.

Ensure the ring and cotter pins that attach the carry bar to the strap are secure.

7.2 Inspection and Cleaning

Clean the Voyager with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent that may damage the finish.

Do not immerse lift in water.

To ensure a better rolling surface for the trolley wheels, clean the inside of the track every 4 months. To do so, insert a damp cloth in the opening and slide it from one end of the track to the other.

Always reinstall the rail end stopper (if they have been removed) after servicing.

7.3 Strap Inspection

This equipment is built with a strap that can withstand a load of 1364 kg (3000 lbs.) Nonetheless, if this strap is damaged or shows signs of wear, the acceptable load on the strap before rupture can drop rapidly and present a danger for the patient or caregiver.

BHM Medical recommends thoroughly inspecting the strap every 2 months as follows:

1.Completely unwind the strap.

2.Look for any signs of wear:

Loose threads in stitched area.

Noticeable discoloration by having a Lighter color strap than the double thickness stitched area.

Side wear.

Middle wear.

If there is any signs of wear as indicated here or other visual defects, strap should be

changed immediately. By continuing to use the lift without changing the strap, caregiver and patient safety is greatly compromised.

In any case, the manufacturer recommends changing the strap at least every two years. By continuing to use the lift without changing the strap, caregiver and patient safety is greatly
