Inspect the battery before placing it in the
Voyager portable. If the battery appears to
have any damage – DO NOT USE IT.

•
Inspect the lift for any damage. If the lift
casing does not look properly aligned, or
there are any cracks or other damage on the
lift, or any parts are missing - DO NOT USE
IT. Contact your local representative to have
the lift serviced.
•
Attach the lift to the trolley in the rail. Inspect
the visible strap for any signs of wear, frays,
loose threads or other damage. If there is
any evidence of damage- DO NOT USE IT.
Contact your local representative to have the
lift serviced.
•
Inspect the sling for tears, frayed straps or
loose stitching. If the sling has any of the
above damage –DO NOT USE IT. Contact
your local representative to have the sling
replaced or repaired.
•
Inspect the reacher and adjustable extension
strap (if you have these options) for wear.

frays or loose stitching. Check the reacher
for damage in the metal hook or handle. DO
NOT USE if there is any damage.
•
Inspect the hook at the top of the strap to
ensure it is properly attached and there is no
damage to the hook.
6.2 Inspection and Cleaning
Clean the voyager body with a dry soft cloth, or a
soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of solvent that may
damage the finish.
DO NOT immerse lift in water.
To ensure a better rolling surface for the trolley
wheels, clean the inside of the track every 4
months. To do so, insert a damp cloth in the
opening and slide it from one end of the track to
the other.
Always replace rail end stopper
(if they have been removed) after
servicing.
6.3 Strap Inspection
This equipment is built with a strap that can
withstand a load of 1364 kg (3000 lbs.)
Nonetheless, if this strap is damaged or shows
signs of wear, the acceptable load on the strap
before rupture can drop rapidly and present a
danger for the patient or caregiver.
BHM
Medical
recommends
thoroughly
inspecting the strap every 2 months as follows:
1.
Completely unwind the strap.
2.
Look for any signs of wear.
