Elf 127em User's Manual
During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base
over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or
obstacles that would create an imbalance of the patient lift and could cause the patient lift to tip
over. Use steering handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the patient lift.
Invacare does NOT recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an
individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Invacare
DOES recommend that the rear casters be left UNLOCKED during lifting procedures to allow
the patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair,
bed or any stationary object.
After the first 12 months of operation, inspect the swivel 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 (6) months thereafter. Casters and axle bolts require inspection every six
(6) months to check for tightness and wear. Regular maintenance of patient lifts and
accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight
limitation for the Elf 127em is 127kg (280lb).
