WARNING:
The Hydraulic Pump is sealed at the factory. Hydraulic Pump must be returned to the
factory for repair, if any service is required. Do not attempt to open the hydraulic pump or obtain local
service. This will void the warranty ant might result in damage and costly repairs. Contact your dealer
for information.
General Care, Inspection and Maintenance
The Prism Medical Patient Lift is designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient, and satisfactory service
with minimum care and maintenance.
All parts of the Prism Medical Lift are made of best grades of steel, but metal to metal contact will wear after
considerable use.
There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the casters or brakes, other than cleaning, lubrication and
checking axle and swivel bolts for tightness. Remove all debris, etc. from the wheel and swivel bearings. If
any parts are worn, replace these parts immediately.
If you have any questions regarding the safety of any part of the lift, contact your dealer immediately.
HYDRAULIC PUMP:
All parts of the Hydraulic Pump are precision machined, then carefully assembled and tested to ensure relia-
ble service. The pump assembly is completely enclosed and sealed with Neoprene rings to prevent leakage of
hydraulic oil. A small amount of oil (about a drop) will accumulate around the piston from time to time and
should be removed with a facial tissue.
LUBRICATION:
The Prism Medical Patient Lift is designed for minimum maintenance; however, a check and lubrication at
every six months should ensure continued safety and reliability.
Keep lift, and slings clean and in good working order. Any defect should be noted and reported to your dealer
immediately.
The casters must swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease (water proof 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.
The connection between the mast and the base should be cleaned and coated with petroleum jelly prior to
assembly.
CAUTION: Take great care to ensure that no liquids get inside the lift. This lift is not
drip proof or water tight. Failure to protect the lift from liquids may result in damage
to the lift and/or may cause personal injury.
