Maintenance
Safety Inspection Checklist
To keep your resident lift in service, follow the maintenance procedures in this manual.
Inspect the resident lift before each use. Check all bolts for tightness. Make sure the base legs can be
widened and that all components are functioning properly. Check that all casters turn freely and that the
caster brakes can be engaged. Check battery capacity.
Monthly, the lift should be thoroughly inspected by a person qualified to recognize any signs of wear
and looseness of bolts or parts. Regular cleaning is essential to smooth operation and extending the life
of the resident lift. Casters and brakes should be cleaned and lubricated, and the axle and swivel bolts
should be checked for tightness. Remove all debris from the wheel and swivel bearings. Replace worn
parts immediately. Do not use the lift if you suspect any component is damaged or worn.
