  • Page 8: Section 1-General Guidelines

    SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. DO NOT move a person suspended in a sling any distance. The Invacare lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair).

  • Page 9: Performing Maintenance

    Use an Invacare sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical  assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted. After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for  wear, tears, and loose stitching. Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard  immediately. DO NOT alter slings. Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to  ensure that it is properly attached before the patient is removed from a stationary object  (bed, chair or commode). Performing Maintenance Refer to Maintenance on page 27 for a maintenance schedule and procedures. Regular maintenance of lifts and accessories is necessary to ensure proper operation. After the first year of use, the attachment points and the mounting bracket of the lift arm  should be inspected every three months to determine the extent of wear. If these parts  become worn, replacement must be made. DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets. Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness, wear,  debris (such as hair and dirt) and that they roll free. After the first twelve 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 months  thereafter. Top bolt must be checked at least every six months in conjunction with periodic  maintenance. ™ Part No. 1148115 Get-U-Up Lift Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
