Lift Tape Caution
The image (Figure 34) indicates a badly worn lift tape due to an acumination of events the Hoist has
operated under.
Whilst a tape in this condition provides no immediate danger, the Hoist should not be used
until a service agent can replace the damaged tape.
The visual checks that must be performed before each use will make the operator aware of a tape
degrading. Any damage should prompt the operator to cease use and seek a replacement.

Cleaning
Please follow the cleaning guidelines below on cleaning and disinfecting the Hoist.
General Cleaning
It is recommended to clean the Hoist and accessories before use by a different person, reducing the risk of cross–
contamination.
The exterior of the Hoist can be cleaned using a damp soapy cloth for general cleaning duties. Please ensure the cloth is damp
and not wet. Ensure the exterior of the device is dry after cleaning. Dry using a clean dry cloth.
For the Handset and Lift Tape, use a dry cloth wipe only.
Care should always be taken when cleaning around electrical components to reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the hoist.
Disinfecting (if necessary)
Should the Hoist require a more thorough clean, the use of the Actichlor™ disinfectant product (which is widely available in
tablet form and used throughout the health care industry) is recommended.
