Care & Maintenance of your Patient Lifter
NOTE: Follow the maintenance procedures described in this manual to keep your patient lift in continuous service.
The Invacare Patient Lift is designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory
service with minimum care and maintenance.
All parts of the Invacare Lift are made of the best grades of steel, but metal to metal contact will
wear after considerable use.
There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the casters or brakes, other than cleaning,
lubrication and checking axle and swivel bolts for tightness. Remove all debris, etc. from the
wheel and swivel bearings. If any parts are worn, replace these parts immediately.
If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your Dealer immediately and advise
him/her of your problem.

Lubrication

The Invacare lift is designed for minimum maintenance; however, a six (6) month check and
lubrication should ensure continued safety and reliability.
Keep lift and slings clean and in good working order. Any defect should be noted and reported
to your dealer as soon as possible.
The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease (waterproof auto lubricant) may be
applied to the ball bearing swivel of the casters once a year. Apply more frequently if the casters
are exposed to extreme moist conditions.

Wear and Damage

It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, spreader bar and any pivot for
slings for signs of cracking, fraying, deformation or deterioration. Replace any defective parts
immediately and ensure that the lift is not used until repairs are made.
