10.2 Lubricating the Lift
The Invacare lift is designed for minimum maintenance. However, a six-month check and
lubrication should ensure continued safety and reliability.
Keep the lift and slings clean and in good working order. Any defect should be noted and
reported to your dealer as soon as possible.
The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease (waterproof auto lubricant) may be
applied to the ball bearing swivel of the casters once a year. Apply more frequently if the
casters are exposed to extreme moist conditions.
Refer to the FIGURE for lubrication points. Lubricate all pivot points. Wipe all excess lubricant
from lift surface.

10.3 Detecting Wear and Damage
It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings, the hanger bar, and any pivot for slings for signs of cracking, fraying,
deformation, or deterioration.
Replace any defective parts immediately and ensure the lift is not used until repairs are made.
10.4 Cleaning the Sling and Lift
Laundering should always be done with dark colors. The sling should be washed regularly in a water temperature not to exceed
180°F (82°C). Refer to the sling user manual for complete cleaning instructions.
