Strap Inspection
If the strap is damaged or shows signs of wear or
discoloration, the acceptable load on the strap
before rupture can drop rapidly and present a
danger for the resident or caregiver. ArjoHuntleigh
recommends a thorough inspection of the straps
every 2 months as follows:
1) Completely unwind the strap.
2) Look for any signs of wear or discoloration (see
Fig. 55).

2) With a small screwdriver, check if the lock is

released.
3) Repeat procedure for both locks
Units from serial number 84854 and above
1) Rotate the drum until one of the lock is align
with the large opening on the chassis.
2) With a small screwdriver, check if the lock is

WARNING: If there is any sign of wear as indicated previously or any other visual defects, the
strap must be changed. The manufacturer recommends changing the strap at least every two
years. By continuing to use the lift without changing a damaged strap, the safety of the caregiver
or resident is greatly compromised.
