7 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090
Bariatric Easy Lift STS 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 an authorized Graham-Field 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 LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090 Bariatric Easy Lift STS
should be performed only by an authorized Graham-Field distributor.

WARNING: Unauthorized modication 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. DO NOT
open the electronics or actuator; this will void the warranty and may result in damage to
the unit. Consult your authorized Graham-Field distributor for further information.
When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your
authorized Graham-Field distributor, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.
BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use of the patient lift, ensure that:
• All nuts and bolts are tight
• The lift moves freely (with caster brakes off)
• Rear caster brakes operate properly
• Base adjustment mechanism operates easily
• All necessary items (i.e. slings, wheelchairs, etc.) are accessible and ready for use
• Battery capacity is adequate
AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
The lift should be thoroughly inspected by a person qualied to recognize any signs of wear, and
looseness of bolts or parts. Replace any worn parts immediately.
LUBRICATION
When the lift is serviced, and every month thereafter, place a drop of oil on the following points:
• The point where mast and boom connect
• Caster axles
• The point where actuator and boom connect
CLEANING
Regular cleaning is recommended every three months; clean the lift more often as needed. A soft
cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or
hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture
polish will help maintain the nish over a long period of time.
