Care and Maintenance of Stand-Up Lift
NOTE: Follow the maintenance procedures described in this manual to keep the stand-up lift in
continuous service.
The Reliant 440 is designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory
service with minimum care and maintenance.
All parts of the Reliant 440 are made of the best grades of steel, but metal-to-metal contact
will wear after considerable use.
There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the casters or wheel locks, other than
cleaning, lubrication and checking axle and swivel bolts for tightness. Remove all debris,
etc. from the wheel and swivel bearings. If any parts are worn, replace these parts
immediately.
If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your Dealer immediately and
advise him/her of your problem.
Detecting Wear and Damage
It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings and any pivot for slings for signs
of cracking, fraying, deformation or deterioration. Replace any damaged or worn parts
immediately and ensure that the lift is not used until repairs are made.
Cleaning the Sling and the Lift
The sling should be washed regularly in water (maximum water temperature of 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 stand-up lift. The lift can be cleaned
with non-abrasive cleaners.
