7 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex 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 an authorized
dealer.
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 / motor is
functioning properly. Failure to do so could result in patient / attendant personal injury
or damage to your patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, resulting in
serious personal injury. Only use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use.
Destroy and discard old, worn and unusable slings.
When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your
authorized Lumex dealer, 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
• Spreader bar clips are secured tightly
• The hydraulic pump operates properly (LF1031 only)
The electronic components operate properly (LF1041 only)
BATTERY
To increase the longevity of the battery, plug in the charger whenever possible (LF1041 only).
LUBRICATION
Your Lumex patient lift was designed with minimum maintenance in mind; however, a six (6)
month check and lubrication should ensure that your patient lift will remain in peak operating
condition. The casters MUST roll and swivel freely. Lightweight waterproof grease (such as
automobile lubricant) should be applied to the ball bearings of the casters every six (6) months.
Apply grease more frequently if the casters are exposed to periods of excess moisture. Lubricate
all pivot points with lightweight oil. Clean patient lift of all excess oil and grease.
Before use of the patient lift, and every two months thereafter, place a drop of oil on the following
areas:
• The point where mast and boom connect
• Spreader bar hooks
• Pump handle hinge
• Caster axles
• The point where pump and boom connect (LF1031 only)
The point where actuator / motor and boom connect (LF1041 only)
