10 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 Patient 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 them of the problem. 10.2 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. The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly.
