If any parts are worn, replace these parts IMMEDIATELY. If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your Dealer IMMEDIATELY. Cleaning the Sling and the Lift The sling should be washed regularly in water temperature not exceeding 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. Detecting Wear and Damage It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, lifting arm 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. Part No. 1078984 21 Stand Up Patient Lift
