Invacare RPS350-2 Owners Manual - Page 23

Lubricating the Lift The Invacare lift is designed for minimum maintenance. However, a six month check and lubrication 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. Adjusting the Base NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.1. 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. Adjusting the Knee Pad Height NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.2. ƽ WARNING NEVER adjust the knee pad while patient is in the standing position. NEVER try to adjust the knee pad while the lift is moving. ALWAYS make sure that the adjustment pins are engaged in corresponding height adjustment holes before use. 1. Pick a height setting that will be comfortable to the patient and provide the necessary support. NOTE: The knee pad should be positioned so that the knee portion of the leg is in contact with the pad. 2. Using both hands, pull both adjustment pins outward at the same time. 3. Position the knee pad to the desired height and release adjustment pins into the corresponding alignment holes. 4. Check to make sure that both pins are engaged.
