7 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090
Bariatric Easy Lift STS in a safe operating condition. In addition to inspecting the unit before each
use, periodic maintenance checks should be done.
WARNING: It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use. Ensure that all
hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is functioning properly. Failure to do so could
result in patient / attendant injury or damage to your patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can
fail, resulting in serious injury. Only use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use. Destroy and
discard old worn and unusable slings.
WARNING: Service and repair of the Lumex LF2020 Easy Lift STS / LF2090 Bariatric Easy
Lift STS MUST be performed by qualified personnel ONLY.
WARNING: Unauthorized modification of the patient lift or the use of non-Lumex replacement parts may
change the structure of the lift and could create a hazardous condition, which may result in serious
injury and will void the warranty.
WARNING: The electronics and actuator contain no serviceable components. DO NOT
attempt to open the electronics or actuator. If service is required, consult GF Tech Support
at 1.770.368.4700 for further information.
When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact GF Tech
Support at 1.770.368.4700, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.
BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use of the patient lift, ensure that:
• All nuts and bolts are tight
• The lift moves freely (with caster brakes off)
• Rear caster brakes operate properly
• Base adjustment mechanism operates easily
• All necessary items (i.e. slings, wheelchairs, etc.) are accessible and ready for use
• Battery capacity is adequate
AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH
The lift should be thoroughly inspected by a person qualified to recognize any signs of wear, and
looseness of bolts or parts. Replace any worn parts immediately.
LUBRICATION
When the lift is serviced, and every month thereafter, place a drop of lubricant (White Lithium
Grease is recommended) on the following points:
• The point where mast and boom connect
• Caster axles
• The point where actuator and boom connect
CLEANING
Regular cleaning is recommended every three months; clean the lift more often as needed. 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.

NOTICE: DO NOT wash patient lift under water pressure or steam clean.
CARE OF SLINGS

NOTICE: DO NOT bleach slings!
