6 Maintenance

6.1 Maintenance and servicing

The UK Health and Safety Executive's Lifting Operations and Lifting
Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), require any equipment
that is used in the workplace (e.g. by a paid carer) to lift a load
be subject to safety inspection on a six monthly basis. Please
refer to the HSE web site for guidance www.hse.gov.uk. Link to
HSE information document on LOLER in Health and Social Care:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/hsis4.pdf
If the above cleaning and safety notices are observed, the product
will be maintenance free.
IMPORTANT!
The hand control may only be opened by the
manufacturer of the bath lift.
1. Check the product regularly for damage and to ensure that it is
securely assembled.
2. In the event of damage and/or necessary repairs, contact the
dealer immediately.
3. The bath lift must be checked by an authorized dealer before
every re-use or after 24 months at the latest (see Manufacturer's
recommendation for rehab products of the SPECTARIS industrial
association).
4. If the bath lift is not used for a prolonged period, charge the
battery completely and then raise and lower the bath lift 3 times
without load. Repeat this process every 3 months. This helps
to maintain the service life of the battery.
