Maintenance Schedule For The Oxford Mobile Hoists
All Oxford products are designed for Minimum maintenance, however some safety checks
and procedures are required. A schedule of DAILY tasks are detailed below.
Daily checks and a biannual service, inspection and test will ensure a lift is kept in
optimum safe working condition. A list of spare parts is available upon request. The
LOAD TEST and CERTIFICATION should only be carried out by qualified personnel
or an authorised service dealer.
D a il y Che ck L ist
Sunrise Medical Ltd strongly recommend the following checks are carried out on a daily
basis and before using the lift.
•
MAKE sure the lift moves freely on it's castors.
•
MAKE sure the spreader bar is free to rotate and swing. Check the spreader bar is
firmly attached to the boom.
•
EXAMINE the sling hooks on the spreader bar and side suspenders for excessive
wear. If in doubt - do not use.
•
MAKE sure the legs open and close correctly.
•
OPERATE the handcontrol or the hydraulic unit to confirm the boom raises and
lowers satisfactorily.
•
CONFIRM the lift is not giving a low battery alarm when the handcontrol is operated
(electric lifts only). If the alarm sounds DO NOT use and place on charge immediately.
•
ON electric powered lifts check the operation of the emergency stop button.
•
ON hydraulically operated lifts check for hydraulic fluid leakage. Any leakage should
be reported to a service engineer immediately and the lift should not be used until it
has been checked out.
•
ON lifts with detachable masts make sure the mast is fully engaged and the locking
knob is fully tightened.
•
EXAMINE slings for fraying or other damage. DO NOT use any sling with fraying or
damage to the suspension straps or tears in the body of the sling.
