10. Maintenance Schedule & Daily Check List 

All Hoyer products are designed for minimum maintenance, however some safety checks and 
procedures are required. A schedule of DAILY tasks are detailed below. Daily checks and a six 
monthly service, inspection and test will ensure a lift is kept in optimum safe working condition. A 
list of spare parts is available upon request. 

The LOAD TEST and certification should only be carried out by qualified personnel or an 
authorised service agent / dealer.

DAILY CHECK LIST: Joerns Healthcare strongly recommends the following checks be carried 
out on a daily basis and before using lift.

• MAKE SURE the lift moves freely on its castors.
• MAKE SURE the 6-point cradle is free to rotate and swing 
•  EXAMINE & CHECK that the 6-point cradle is firmly attached to the boom.
•  EXAMINE the sling hooks/clips on the 6-point cradle for excessive wear.
• MAKE SURE the legs open and close correctly.
•  OPERATE the hand control to confirm the boom raises and lowers satisfactorily.
•  CHECK the operation of the emergency stop button.
•  CONFIRM the lift is not giving a low battery alarm when the hand control is operated. If the 

alarm sounds, DO NOT use, and place on charge immediately.

• MAKE SURE the actuator connection points are secure.
•  EXAMINE slings for fraying or other damage. DO NOT use any sling if damaged or if the 

sling shows signs of wear.
