TABLE OF CONTENTS

SAFETY SUMMARY

NOTE: Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment.

Contact the Carrier/Dealer for further instructions.

WARNING

Invacare recommends that two (2) assistants be used for ALL lifting preparation, transferring from

and transferring to procedures.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical assis-

tant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner’s Manual, observe a trained team of experts

perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper

supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.

Individuals that use the Standing Sling (Model R130) MUST be able to support the majority of their

own weight, otherwise injury can occur.

DO NOT raise the patient to a full standing position while using the transport sling (Model

R134), otherwise injury can occur.

Invacare standing and transport slings are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with

the Invacare Stand Up Lift. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers or other

Invacare slings are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s stand up lift system. Use of

these products is prohibited and will void Invacare’s stand up lift warranty. Use only genuine

Invacare standing and transport slings and lift accessories to maintain patient safety and prod-

uct utility. Use the sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant

for the comfort and safety of the individual being lifted.

Before positioning the legs of the stand up lift around the patient, make sure the patient's feet are

out of the way of the footplate, otherwise injury can occur.

The legs of the stand up lift MUST be in the MAXIMUM OPEN position and the shifter handle LOCKED

in place for optimum stability and safety. If the patient is in a transport sling and it becomes

necessary to move through a narrow passage, close the legs of the stand up lift ONLY AS LONG

AS IT TAKES TO MOVE THROUGH THE PASSAGE. Once the stand up lift is through the passage, return

the legs of the stand up lift to the MAXIMUM OPEN position and LOCK shifter handle IMMEDIATELY.

Invacare recommends locking the rear swivel casters ONLY when positioning or removing the

sling (standing or transport) from around the patient.

Invacare does NOT recommend locking the rear swivel casters of the stand up lift when lifting

and transferring an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and endanger the patient and

assistants. Invacare DOES recommend that the rear swivel casters be left UNLOCKED during lifting

and transferring procedures to allow the stand up lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially

lifted from and transferred to a chair, bed or any stationary object.

STANDING SLINGS - DO NOT use the standing sling in combination with the stand up lift as a

transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another (such

as a bed to a wheelchair). Moving a person using the standing sling in combination with the

stand up lift over ANY distance is NOT recommended.

STANDING SLINGS - Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the standing sling is

positioned on the lower back of the patient and the patient's arms are outside the standing sling.

STANDING SLINGS - The belt MUST be snug, but comfortable on the patient, otherwise the patient

can slide out of the sling during transfer, possibly causing injury.

TRANSPORT SLINGS - Before lifting the patient, make sure the bottom edge of the transport sling is

at the base of the spine and the patient's arms are outside the transport sling.

SAFETY SUMMARY, (continued)

SAFETY SUMMARY

WARNING

DO NOT use any kind of material (such as a plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion)

between the patient and sling material that may cause the patient to slide out of the sling during

transferring.

ALWAYS use the color coded strap on the standing sling closest to the patient while still maintain-

ing patient stability and comfort.

Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard Immedi-

ately.

DO NOT alter slings.

When elevated a few inches off the surface being transferred from and before moving the pa-

tient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the attachment points of

the stand up lift. If any attachments are NOT properly in place, lower the patient back onto the

surface and correct this problem.

During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll stand up lift over

objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles

that would create an imbalance of the stand up lift and could cause the stand up lift to tip over.

Use push handle on the mast at ALL times to push or pull the stand up lift.

Casters and axle bolts require inspection every six (6) months to check for tightness and wear.

After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is

worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every three (3) months thereafter.

The electric motor is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the motor unit MUST BE re-

turned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the motor or obtain local service as this

will VOID the warranty and may result in damage and a costly repair. Consult your Dealer or

Invacare for further information.

Regular maintenance of Stand Up Lift and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with

or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protec-

tion against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the per-

sonal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the

two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accor-

dance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire

extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addi-

tion, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these

tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to operating, charging or servicing your

stand up lift.

WEIGHT LIMITATION

DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the Stand Up Lift. The maximum weight limitation

is 350 lbs. (159 kg) regardless of any additional weight limitations on accessories.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR STAND UP LIFT

NOTE: Follow the maintenance procedures described in

this manual to keep your stand up lift in continuous ser-

vice.

The Invacare Stand Up Lift is designed to provide a

maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory service with

minimum care and maintenance.

All parts of the Invacare Stand Up Lift are made of the best

grades of steel, but metal to metal contact will wear after

considerable use.

There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the cast-

ers or brakes, other than cleaning, lubrication and check-

ing axle and swivel bolts for tightness. Remove all debris,

etc. from the wheel and swivel bearings. If any parts are

worn, replace these parts immediately.

If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your

Dealer immediately and advise him/her of your problem.

LUBRICATION (FIGURE 1)

The Invacare Stand Up Lift is designed for minimum

maintenance; however, a six (6) month check should

ensure continued safety and reliability.

Keep lift and slings clean and in good working order. Any

defect should be noted and reported to your dealer as

soon as possible.

The casters MUST swivel and roll smoothly. A light grease

(waterproof auto lubricant) may be applied to the ball

bearing swivel of the casters once a year. Apply more

frequently if the casters are exposed to extreme moist

conditions.

WEAR AND DAMAGE

It is important to inspect all stressed parts, such as slings

and any attachment point for slings for signs of cracking,

fraying, deformation or deterioration. Replace any defective

parts immediately and ensure that the lift is not used until

repairs are made.

CLEANING

The sling should be washed regularly in water

temperature of 180

F (82

C) and a biological solution. A

soft cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of

mild detergent, is all that is needed to clean the stand up

lift. The lift can be cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners.

ADJUSTING THE BASE (FIGURE 2)

NOTE: The base adjustment should not require any

attention other than:

1. Check the squareness of the legs when in the

CLOSED position.

2. Place a square on the inside of the legs and base to

determine the 90

alignment.

3. Adjust the linkage rods until 90

alignment is achieved.
