Maintenance - Invacare Robin User Manual

Use of emergency batteries
Should the need for immediate use of Robin arise at a time when the hoist has a discharged battery, a Invacare®
emergency battery can be used.
This battery is connected to the underside of the motor, hanging freely during client transportation.
Use the emergency battery only when absolutely necessary. Always recharge this battery after use, please
see section »Charging«.
The emergency battery is an accessory that can be ordered from your Invacare® dealer, see section »Accessories«.
Important! Use only Invacare®recommended emergency batteries.

When performing annual or regular maintenance, all parts designed to carry load must be tested at maximum

1.5 x maximum load must also be performed.
During the service, all parts that is exchanged and all work carried out, must be documented. The worn and
defective parts must be replaced with new spare parts from Invacare. Inspection of the hoist and track system
must be carried out by a qualified Invacare® authorised dealer.
