CLEANING
Regular cleaning is recommended. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE
detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to
clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long
period of time.
s
NOTICE: DO NOT wash under water pressure or steam clean.
CHECKING FOR DAMAGE AND WEAR
It is extremely important to frequently check the areas of the patient lift that are under a great deal
of stress for damage and wear. These areas include slings, spreader bars, spreader bar suspension
and mounting hardware, pump mounting hardware and all pivot points. Inspect for signs of
cracking, fraying, deformation, and any loose components
WARNING: Replace any defective parts immediately, and make certain that the patient
lift is not used until repairs are made. Contact your authorized Lumex dealer for
replacement parts.
CARE OF SLINGS
Lumex slings are washable at 150° F and autoclavable at 185° F for 30 minutes. The head support's
plastic insert should be removed before washing. The slings can be dried by using a dryer on LOW
heat or by hanging.
s
NOTICE: DO NOT bleach slings!
