Maintenance, Inspection And Test

Sunrise Medical Ltd recommend a thorough inspection and test of the Oxford Mobile 

Hoist lifting accessories, slings etc. is carried out every six months. The examination 

and test should be conducted according to the recommendations and procedures below. 

Sunrise Medical Ltd recommend maintenance, inspection and certified testing is carried 

out by authorised service dealers only.

Note:

 These recommendations are in compliance with the requirements of 1998 No2307 

Health and Safety: The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998.  

This is a UK regulation. Outside the UK please check your local requirements.

• 

SPREADER BAR:

 Check the spreader bar for freedom of rotation and swing.  Check  

  for wear on the central pivot. Check for firm attachment to the boom.  Inspect for  

 

  excessive wear on the sling hooks and any side suspenders used in conjunction with    
  the spreader bar.

• 

BOOM: 

Check the attachment of the boom to the mast. Make sure there is only  

 

  minimal side movement of the boom and  the boom is free to rotate on the boom  

 

  bearing. Check the actuator or hydraulic unit mounting on the boom. 

• 

MAST: 

Check the operation of the mast locking device. Make sure the mast fully  

 

  engages into the socket. Check the bottom actuator or hydraulic unit mounting.

• 

POWER PACK (Electric only):

 Check the function of the Emergency Stop button.    

  Inspect the handcontrol socket for correct fitting. Inspect the power/charging socket    
  for correct fitting.  Check functioning of hand control.

• 

LEG ADJUSTMENT:

 Check the leg linkages are secure and the leg adjustment  

 

  handle is located correctly in the leg adjustment gate. Operate the leg adjusting handle  

  and confirm smooth opening and closing of the legs. Adjust linkages if necessary.

• 

LEG PIVOTS:

 Check the leg pivots are secure and the legs pivot freely. Any stiffness  

  must be investigated. Strip out the leg pivots and lubricate with a light mineral based    
  grease if in any doubt. Make sure there is no excessive play in the leg pivots.

• 

CASTORS:

 Check all castors for firm attachment to the legs. Check for free rotation   

  of the castor and the wheels. Remove any build up of threads, hair or fluff.  

  Lubricate if necessary with a light mineral based grease. Check correct operation of    
  the brakes.

• 

ACTUATOR (Electric only):

 The actuator should require no maintenance other than  

  checking for correct operation and listening for unusual noise.
