Wear and Damage
It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, spreader bar and any pivot 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.
All sling metal parts should be inspected every three months, and if wear is apparent,
replacement must be made.
Check that all labels are present and legible. Replace if necessary.
Cleaning
The sling should be washed regularly in hot water (maximum temperature of 180°F
(82°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 patient lift. The lift can be cleaned with
non-abrasive cleaners. Auto wax or furniture polish will help maintain the sparkling
finish over a long period of time.
Ensure that casters are free of debris.
