Page 9: Section 1-General Guidelines
- otherwise, injury or damage may occur. 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 10: Using The Sling
ALWAYS use the color coded strap on the standing sling closest to the patient while still maintaining patient stability and comfort. Use an Invacare approved 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). If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forwards or backwards. When connecting slings equipped with color coded straps to the lift, the shortest of the straps must be at the back of patient for support. Using long section will leave little or no support for patientʹs back. The loops of the sling are color coded and can be used to place patient in various positions. The colors make it easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is sufficient head support when lifting a patient. Stand Up Lift Model RPS350-2 Part No. 1145811... -
Page 11: Lifting/Transferring The Patient
Lifting/Transferring the Patient When using the stand up lift, the legs MUST be in the maximum Opened position before lifting the patient. DO NOT move the patient if the sling is not properly connected to the attachment points of the stand up lift. Check that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points prior to lifting a patient. If any attachments are not properly in place, correct the problem. When the sling is elevated a few inches off the stationary surface and before moving the patient, check again to make sure that all sling attachments are secure. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower the patient back onto the stationary surface and correct this problem ‐ otherwise, injury or damage may occur. Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patientʹs arms should be inside of the straps. Invacare slings are made specifically for use with Invacare lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and lifts of different manufacturers. Warranty will be voided. During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the lift and could cause the lift to tip over. Before positioning the legs of the stand up lift around the patient, make sure the patient’s feet are out of the way of the footplate, otherwise injury can occur. Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing the sling (standing or transport) from around the patient. Invacare does not recommend locking of the rear casters of the lift when lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and assistants. Invacare does recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting procedures to allow the lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary object. Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport. Before transferring, check that the wheelchair weight capacity can withstand the patientʹs weight. Part No. 1145811 Stand Up Lift Model RPS350-2... -
Page 12: Performing Maintenance
Refer to Maintenance on page 31 for a maintenance schedule and procedures. Regular maintenance of lifts and accessories is necessary to assure 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. The electric motor is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the motor unit MUST be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the motor or obtain local service as this will VOID the warranty and may result in damage and a costly repair. Consult your dealer or Invacare for further information. Electrical - Grounding Instructions DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug. Some devices are equipped with three‐prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two‐prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two‐prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three‐ prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use only a three‐wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your lift. Stand Up Lift Model RPS350-2 Part No. 1145811... -
