2. Introduction: About Your Lift

The Oxford Classic Lift range is available with hydraulic or electric powered options with the
exception of the Maxi 180 which is electric only. This manual covers both options.
Each lift is fully assembled, load tested and certified before being partially dismantled for
packing. The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton and is used for both export and
domestic markets to ensure the safe arrival of the lift.
Recycling of Packaging:
In an effort to reduce levels of waste and environmental impact, Joerns Healthcare operate
a free of charge recycling service in the UK. This is specifically for the foam inserts that
accompany the lift packaging - inside of the carton.
When you are ready to return the foam inserts, simply present them to the Joerns Delivery
Service Driver on their next visit and they will return them to us for recycling.
Accompanying Documents:
A number of documents are supplied in a wallet packed with each lift and should be retained
for future reference.
• Test Certificate
• User Manual
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and is required for your insurance
records. It is valid for 6 months and once expired, the lift should be inspected and serviced for
the following six month period. Servicing and periodic LOLER testing can be carried out by
your supplier. Please ensure your lift is included in their maintenance schedule.

Oxford Classic Lifts carry the CE mark and comply with the following EC directives:
• Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC)
