2 SAFETY
Transferring the Patient
WARNING
When elevated a few inches off the surface of the stationary object (wheelchair, commode, or bed) and before moving the patient, check
again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the hanger bar. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower
the patient back onto the stationary object (wheelchair, commode, or bed) and correct this problem.
Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport.
Before transferring, check that the wheelchair weight capacity can withstand the patient's weight.
Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient
is removed from the bed or chair.
Mast pivot under the rubber boot must be tight to ensure safe use of the patient lift. Bolt must be checked at least every six months in
conjunction with periodic maintenance.
Performing Maintenance
WARNING
Maintenance MUST be performed ONLY by qualified personnel.
The pump is sealed at the factory. DO NOT attempt to open the pump or obtain local service as this will VOID the warranty and might
result in damage. Consult your dealer or write Invacare for further information.
After the first year of use, the hooks of the hanger bar and the mounting brackets of the boom should be inspected every three months to
determine the extent of wear. If these parts become worn, replacement must be made.
Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness and wear.
After the first twelve months of operation, inspect the hanger bar and the eye of the boom (to which it attaches) for wear. If the metal is
worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every six months thereafter.
Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.
