7 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift in a safe
operating condition. In addition to inspecting the unit before each use, periodic maintenance
checks should be done. We further recommend that this unit be serviced at least once annually by
a Graham-Field authorized distributor.
WARNING: It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use.
Ensure that all hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is functioning
properly. Failure to do so could result in patient / attendant injury or damage to your
patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, resulting in serious injury. Only
use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use. Destroy and discard old worn and
unusable slings.
WARNING: Service and repair of the Lumex LF1050 Patient Lift should be performed
only by a Graham-Field authorized distributor. Graham-Field is not responsible for any
consequence resulting from any unauthorized service or repair.
WARNING: Unauthorized modication of the patient lift or the use of non-Lumex
replacement parts may change the structure of the lift and could create a hazardous
condition, which may result in serious injury and will void the warranty.
WARNING: The electronics and actuator contain no serviceable components. If service
is required, the unit must be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open
the electronics or actuator or obtain local service; this will void the warranty and may
result in damage to the unit. Consult your Graham-Field authorized distributor for further
information.
When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your
Graham-Field authorized distributor, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.
