SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
ƽ WARNING
SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation
and use of this product.
Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the Dealer for
further instructions.
The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one seated surface to another
(such as a bed to a wheelchair).
DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the
instructions in this Owner’s Manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the
entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
Invacare Stand Assist and Transfer slings are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare patient lifts.
Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s patient lift
system. Use of these products is prohibited and will void the lift’s warranty. Use the sling that is recommended by the
individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the individual that is being lifted.
If the patient lift is used in the area of a shower or bath, ensure that the patient lift is wiped clean of any moisture after use. DO
NOT store the lift in a damp area or in a damp condition. Periodically inspect all components of the patient lift for signs of
corrosion. Replace all parts that are corroded or damaged.
Weight Limitation
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation for the Roze Patient Lift is 450 lbs.
Assembling the Lift
DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.
Using the Sling
Individuals that use the Stand Assist Sling MUST be able to support the majority of their own weight, otherwise injury may
occur.
Stand Assist Slings: DO NOT use the stand assist sling in combination with the patient lift as a transport device. It is
intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair).
Stand Assist Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the stand assist sling is positioned on the lower
back of the patient and the patient’s arms are outside the stand assist sling.
Stand Assist Slings: The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient can slide out of the sling
during transfer, possibly causing injury.
Transfer Slings: Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transfer sling is at the base of the spine and the
patient’s arms are outside the transfer sling.
Transfer Slings: DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the transfer sling, otherwise injury may
occur.
After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching.
Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard immediately.
DO NOT alter slings.
Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before
the patient is removed from a stationary object (bed, chair or commode).
If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forwards or backwards.
Operating the Lift
Make sure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery charger to confirm proper mounting. Otherwise,
injury or damage may occur.
Use the handles to push or pull the patient lift.
