8.1.5 General Maintenance

WARNING!
Risk of Injury
Worn or damaged parts of the lift may cause
injury to the patient or assistants.
– After the first year of use, the hooks of the
hanger bar and mounting brackets of the
boom should be inspected every six months
to determine the extent of wear. Check for
signs of cracking, fraying, deformation or
deterioration. If these parts become worn,
replacement must be made.
– Periodically inspect all components of the
patient lift for signs of corrosion. Replace all
parts that are corroded or damaged.
Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts,
enhance smooth operation and extend the life
expectancy of the lift.
Follow the maintenance procedures described in
this manual to keep your patient lift in continuous
service.
The Invacare lift is designed to provide a maximum level of
safe, efficient and satisfactory service with minimum care
and maintenance.
It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings,
hanger bar and any pivot points for signs of wear, cracking,
fraying, deformation or deterioration. All parts of the
Invacare lift are made of the best grades of steel, but metal
to metal contact will wear after considerable use. Replace
1195053-B
any defective parts immediately and ensure that the lift
is not used until repairs are made. Refer to the Safety
Inspection Checklist for specific information regarding wear
items.
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 or Invacare representative immediately and
advise him/her of your problem.
