Lubricating The Lift; Detecting Wear And Damage; Cleaning The Sling And Lift; Maintaining The Manual/Hydraulic Pump - Invacare ILIFTEE User Manual

8.3 Lubricating the Lift

The Invacare lift is designed for minimum maintenance. However,
a six month check and lubrication should ensure continued safety
and reliability.
Keep lift and slings clean and in good working order. Any defect
should be noted and reported to your Dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to the figure for lubrication points. Lubricate all pivot points
with a light grease (waterproof auto lubricant). Wipe all excess
lubricant from lift surface.

8.4 Detecting Wear and Damage

It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, hanger bar
and any pivot for slings for signs of cracking, fraying, deformation or
deterioration. Replace any defective parts immediately and ensure
that the lift is not used until repairs are made.

8.5 Cleaning the Sling and Lift

The sling should be regularly washed in water, temperature not to
exceed 180°F (82°C), and a biocidal (anti-biological) solution. A soft
cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent,
is all that is needed to clean the patient lift. The lift can be cleaned
with non-abrasive cleaners.

8.6 Maintaining the Manual/Hydraulic Pump

All parts of the Manual/Hydraulic Pump are precision machined, then
carefully assembled and tested to ensure reliable service. The pump
assembly is completely enclosed and sealed with neoprene rings to
prevent leakage of hydraulic oil. A small amount of oil (about a drop)
will accumulate around the piston from time to time and should be
removed with a facial tissue.
WARNING!
– The pump is sealed at the factory. DO NOT attempt
to open the pump or obtain local service as this will
void the warranty and might result in damage and
costly repair. Consult your dealer or write Invacare
for further information.
