When the brakes are engaged, the patient lift should
not be moved (fl at and adhered fl oor).
Operate the patient lift with nobody in, check the arm
and the side rails move steadily with no noise.
Control the handles located on the mast and check
there is no play between the arm and the mast, and
between the mast and the side rails.
Check the plastic protective housings and casings are
not broken or cracked, and all parts are present.
Check the condition of the connecting cables: power
supply cord, remote control and cylinder; if a cable shows
a slight burn, wear, or impact sign, or if the wires are
visible, immediately stop using the patient lift, and have
the cables replaced by the engineering department.
The slings should be checked at least once a month,
or more regularly in case of intensive use, ensuring the
seams are not undone, the upholstery and sling weft is
not visible, and there is no torn part.
Never use a defective sling.
