WARNING
DO NOT use any kind of material (such as a 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
transferring.
ALWAYS use the color coded strap on the standing sling closest to the patient while still maintain-
ing patient stability and comfort.
Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard Immedi-
ately.
DO NOT alter slings.
When elevated a few inches off the surface being transferred from and before moving the pa-
tient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points of
the stand up lift. If any attachments are NOT properly in place, lower the patient back onto the
surface and correct this problem.
During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll stand up lift over
objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles
that would create an imbalance of the stand up lift and could cause the stand up lift to tip over.
Use push handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the stand up lift.
Casters and axle bolts require inspection every six (6) months to check for tightness and wear.
After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is
worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every three (3) months thereafter.
The electric motor is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the motor unit MUST BE re-
turned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the motor 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.
Regular maintenance of Stand Up Lift and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with
or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protec-
tion against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the per-
sonal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the
two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire
extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addi-
tion, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these
tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to operating, charging or servicing your
stand up lift.
WEIGHT LIMITATION
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the Stand Up Lift. The maximum weight limitation
is 350 lbs. (159 kg) regardless of any additional weight limitations on accessories.
