Performing Maintenance; Electrical - Grounding Instructions - Invacare RPS350-2 Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Performing Maintenance

Refer to Maintenance on page 31 for a maintenance schedule and procedures.
Regular maintenance of lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
After the first year of use, the attachment points and the mounting bracket of the lift arm
should be inspected every three months to determine the extent of wear. If these parts
become worn, replacement must be made.
DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.
Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness, wear,
debris (such as hair and dirt) and that they roll free.
After the first twelve months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear.
If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every six months
thereafter.
Top bolt must be checked at least every six months in conjunction with periodic
maintenance.
The electric motor is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the motor unit MUST
be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the motor or obtain local
service as this will VOID the warranty and may result in damage and a costly repair.
Consult your dealer or Invacare for further information.

Electrical - Grounding Instructions

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any
plug. Some devices are equipped with three‐prong (grounding) plugs for protection
against possible shock hazards. Where a two‐prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is
the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified
electrician and have the two‐prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three‐
prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an
extension cord, use only a three‐wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical
rating as the device being connected. In addition, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE
WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. Carefully read
battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your lift.
