CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR STAND UP LIFT
NOTE: Follow the maintenance procedures described in
this manual to keep your stand up lift in continuous ser-
vice.
The Invacare Stand Up Lift is designed to provide a
maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory service with
minimum care and maintenance.
All parts of the Invacare Stand Up Lift 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 cast-
ers or brakes, other than cleaning, lubrication and check-
ing 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.
LUBRICATION (FIGURE 1)
The Invacare Stand Up Lift is designed for minimum
maintenance; however, a six (6) month check should
ensure continued safety and reliability.
Keep lift and slings clean and in good working order. Any
defect should be noted and reported to your dealer as
soon as possible.
The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease
(waterproof auto lubricant) may be applied to the ball
bearing swivel of the casters once a year. Apply more
frequently if the casters are exposed to extreme moist
conditions.
WEAR AND DAMAGE
It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings
and any attachment point for slings for signs of cracking,
fraying, deformation or deterioration. Replace any defective
parts immediately and ensure that the lift is not used until
repairs are made.
CLEANING
The sling should be washed regularly in water
temperature of 180
o
F (82
o
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.
ADJUSTING THE BASE (FIGURE 2)
NOTE: The base adjustment should not require any
attention other than:
1. Check the squareness of the legs when in the
CLOSED position.
2. Place a square on the inside of the legs and base to
determine the 90
o
alignment.
3. Adjust the linkage rods until 90
o
alignment is achieved.
