RPS 440ee User's Manual
Safety Summary (continued)
STANDING SLINGS - The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the
patient can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury.
TRANSPORT SLINGS - Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transport
sling is at the base of the spine and the patient's arms are outside the transport sling.
DO NOT use any kind of material (such as a plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion)
between the patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during
transferring.
ALWAYS use the colour coded strap on the standing sling closest to the patient while still
maintaining patient stability and comfort. Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe
and could result in injury. Discard Immediately.
DO NOT alter slings.
When elevated a few inches off the surface being transferred from and before moving the
patient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points
of the stand up lift. If any attachments are NOT properly in place, lower the patient back onto
the surface and correct this problem.
During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll stand up
lift over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or
obstacles that would create an imbalance of the stand up lift and could cause the stand up lift to
tip over.
Use push handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the stand up lift.
Casters and axle bolts require inspection every six (6) months to check for tightness and wear.
After the first 12 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 (6) months thereafter.
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.
Regular maintenance of Stand Up Lift and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
WEIGHT LIMITATION
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the Stand Up Lift. The maximum weight
limitation is 440 lbs. regardless of any additional weight limitations on accessories.
