1  INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Lumex patient lift. The following pages will provide you 
with important safety and operating instructions on the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories, 
as well as maintenance and warranty information. Read this manual carefully before operating 
your patient lift and refer to it as often as needed. Consult your Lumex dealer and/or healthcare 
professional with any questions or concerns regarding safe and effective techniques for operating 
your patient lift.

The Lumex Patient Lift is intended to aid in the transfer of an individual who is unable to indepen-
dently transfer between bed, chair, wheelchair, and/or commode.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare provider. With 
their assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of the per-
son being lifted. It is important that you use correct slings adapted to the body shape and weight 
and ability of the patient and the speciic type of transfer needed.

Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing is 
damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that all patient lift parts are in the proper place, etc. 
Immediately replace any worn or broken components. Your patient lift should receive maintenance 
on a regular schedule and should be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact your Lumex 
dealer for service and repairs.

Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. Ideally, observe a team of 
trained experts performing the lifting procedures. The operator should then practice the entire 
lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with a capable individual acting as 
patient. It is extremely important to know how a patient will feel in the patient lift. We suggest that 
the operator try all the various lifting slings and equipment until the operator is conident with 
how the patient lift operates. The lifting procedures should be explained to the patient before the 
actual lifting. Remember that safety requires the constant attention of the lift occupant and the 
operator. Use extreme care and common sense when operating a patient lift.

This guide covers the use of the LF1031FP Hydraulic Patient Lift. Keep in mind that the basic safety 
procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide only. You may ind it necessary to de-
velop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient lift. Again, consult your healthcare 
professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.

Info: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift, refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY IN-
STRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this manual. Contact your Lumex dealer if additional 
assistance is needed.

Info: In this manual, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” or “occupant” 
and the person operating the patient lift is called the “operator” or “attendant”.
