SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
ƽ WARNING
SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe
operation and use of this product.
Operating the Lift
Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the
equipment. Contact the dealer or customer service for further instructions.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the resident’s physician, nurse or
medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this owner’s manual, observe a
trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift
procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a
resident.
Use common sense in all lifts. Special care MUST be taken with people with disabilities
who cannot fully cooperate while being transferred.
Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting and transferring
procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one
assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each individual case.
Make sure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery charger to
confirm proper mounting. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the lift. The weight limitation for the 1900
and 1900S bath lift is 350 lbs.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
Lifting/Transferring
Invacare recommends the use of the safety strap and shoulder harness when using the
bath lift. ALWAYS adjust the safety strap and shoulder harness for safety and comfort
before transport.
During transfer, raise the seat so the resident’s feet are suspended from the floor. DO NOT
roll caster base over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any
uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the lift and could cause
the lift to tip over.
Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before transferring the resident into
the wheelchair for transport.
