WARNING
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 resting
surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person suspended in a sling over ANY distance
is NOT recommended.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical attendant.
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.
Use common sense in all lifts. Special care MUST BE taken with physically challenged individuals who
cannot cooperate while being lifted. Use restraint straps if necessary.
Invacare slings and patient lift accessories 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 Invacare’s
patient lift warranty. Use only genuine Invacare slings and lift accessories to maintain patient safety and
product utility.
Use a sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical attendant for the comfort and
safety of the individual being lifted.
DO NOT use any kind of plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion between the patient and sling
material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during a transfer.
When using an adjustable base lift, the legs MUST BE in the maximum OPENED/LOCKED position BEFORE
lifting the patient.
Before transferring a patient from a stationary object (wheelchair, commode or bed), slightly raise the
patient off the stationary object and check all sling hardware for secure attachment to include swivel bar,
straps, S-hooks and D or O-rings. If any attachment is not correct, lower the patient and correct the
problem, then raise the patient and check again.
During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base over objects
such as carpets, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that would
create an imbalance of the patient lift and could cause the patient lift to tip over. Use steering handles on the
mast at ALL times to push or pull the patient lift.
After the first 12 months of operation, inspect the swivel bar and the boom (to which it attaches) for wear. If
the metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every three (3) months thereafter.
The hydraulic pump is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the pump unit MUST BE returned to
the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the hydraulic pump or obtain local service as this will VOID
the warranty and may result in damage and a costly repair. Consult your Dealer or Invacare for further
information.
Casters and axle bolts require inspection every six (6) months to check for tightness and wear.
Regular maintenance of the patient lift and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. These suggested weight limitations will vary
from 300 to 450 lbs. depending on the type of patient lift purchased. Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS in this
Owner’s Manual for maximum weight limitation.
