SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

ꢀ WARNING

SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe

operation and use of this product.

Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the

equipment. Contact the Dealer for further instructions.

The Invacare patient 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). Moving a person

suspended in a sling over ANY distance is NOT recommended.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or

medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner’s Manual, observe a

trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift

procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a

patient.

Invacare Stand Assist and Transfer slings are specifically designed to be used in

conjunction with Invacare patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other

manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s patient lift system. Use

of these products is prohibited and will void the lift’s warranty. Use the sling that is

recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and

safety of the individual that is being lifted.

Weight Limitation

DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation for

the Electric Portable Patient Lift is 600 lbs.

Assembling the Lift

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.

Using the Sling

Individuals that use the Stand Assist Sling MUST be able to support the majority of their

own weight, otherwise injury may occur.

Stand Assist Slings: DO NOT use the stand assist sling in combination with the patient lift

as a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to

another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person using the stand assist sling in

combination with the patient lift over ANY distance is NOT recommended.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Stand Assist Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the stand

assist sling is positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient’s arms are

outside the stand assist sling.

Stand Assist Slings: The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the

patient can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury.

Transfer Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transfer sling

is at the base of the spine and the patient’s arms are outside the transfer sling.

Transfer Slings: DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the

transfer sling, otherwise injury may occur.

DO NOT use any kind of plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion between

patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during

transfer.

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 patient 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.

Operating the Lift

Make sure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery charger to

confirm proper mounting. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Use the handles to push or pull the patient lift.

Lifting the Patient

Before positioning the legs of the stand up lift around the patient, make sure that the patient’s

feet are out of the way of the foot plate, otherwise injury may occur.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patientʹs arms

should be outside of the sling straps.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Before lifting a patient from a stationary object (wheelchair, commode or bed), slightly raise

the patient off the stationary object and check that all sling attachments are secure. If any

attachment is not correct, lower the patient and correct the problem, then raise the patient and

check again.

During transfer, with the 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 patient lift and could cause the patient lift

to tip over. Use steering handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the patient lift.

Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing

the sling (stand assist or transfer) from around the patient.

Invacare does NOT recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient 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 patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or

any stationary object.

Transferring the Patient

Before transferring, check that the product’s weight capacity can withstand the patientʹs

weight.

Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the

wheelchair for transport.

Performing Maintenance

Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.

After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the

metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Perform this inspection every six months

thereafter.

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.

Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness and wear.

SECTION 7—MAINTENANCE

The Invacare Patient Lift is designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and

satisfactory service with minimum care and maintenance.

All parts of the Invacare Lift are made of the best grades of steel, but metal to metal

contact will wear after considerable use.

There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the casters or brakes, other than cleaning,

lubrication and checking axle and swivel bolts for tightness. Remove all debris, etc. from

the wheel and swivel bearings. If any parts are worn, replace these parts immediately.

If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your Dealer immediately and

advise him/her of your problem.

Lubricating the Lift

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.1.

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.

The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease (waterproof auto lubricant)

may be applied to the ball bearing swivel of the casters once a year. Apply more

frequently if the casters are exposed to extreme moist conditions.
