Before use
The carer/helper is responsible for ensuring that a daily check is carried out BEFORE the Stellar
and accessories are used, including the following:
1.
Check that the Stellar is complete, and no parts are missing.
2.
Check that there are no signs of rust, wear and tear or other defects. If there is any sign of
a defect the Stellar must be taken out of service.
3.
If any abnormal sound is heard from the Stellar, the lifter must not be used before
personnel authorised by Winncare Nordic have carried out a safety check on the unit.
4.
Check the lifting slings for any damages especially as regards to the lifting straps for tears
in the material. The slings must not be used if defects are detected.
5.
If in any doubt concerning the use of Stellar or lifting slings, contact Winncare Nordic for
advice and guidance.
