Detecting Wear And Damage; Cleaning The Sling And The Lift; Replacing The Electric Actuator - Invacare Electric Portable Patient Lift RPA600-1E Operating & Maintenance Manual

Detecting Wear and Damage

It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, spreader 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.

Cleaning the Sling and the Lift

The sling should be washed regularly in water temperature of 180°F (82°C) and a 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.

Replacing the Electric Actuator

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.2.
1. Remove the nut, washer and shoulder bolt that secure the electric actuator to the mast
mounting bracket.
2. Rest the boom on your shoulder and remove the nut, bolt, plastic bushing and pinch
guard from the boom mounting bracket.
3. Remove the electric actuator assembly.
4. Reverse steps for installation.
DO NOT overtighten the nut and bolt. This damages the mounting bracket.
