GENERAL GUIDELINES

SECTION 1???GENERAL GUIDELINES

 WARNING

SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.

Operating the Lift

Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO NOT use the equipment. Contact the dealer or customer service for further instructions.

DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the resident???s physician, nurse or medical assistant. 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 resident.

Use common sense in all lifts. Special care must be taken with people with disabilities who cannot fully cooperate while being transferred.

Although ICCI recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting and transferring procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each individual case.

DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the lift. The weight limitation for the lift is 350 lbs.

ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

Lifting/Transferring

ICCI recommends the use of the safety strap and shoulder harness when using the bath lift. Always adjust the safety strap and shoulder harness for safety and comfort before transport.

During transfer, raise the seat so the resident???s feet are suspended from the floor. DO NOT roll caster base over objects such as carpet, raised carpet bindings, door frames, or any uneven surfaces or obstacles that would create an imbalance of the lift and could cause the lift to tip over.

Lock the rear casters of the bath lift when transferring an individual onto the seat or stretcher. Locking the rear casters will stabilize the lift and help prevent it from shifting during transfer.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Performing Maintenance

Refer to MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING on page 26 for a maintenance schedule and procedures.

Regular maintenance of lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.

Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness, wear, debris (such as hair and dirt) and that they roll free.

After the first twelve months of operation, inspect all glides, rollers, and fasteners for wear. Make this inspection every six months thereafter. If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced.

Bearing screws on the lift column MUST be adjusted regularly. Otherwise, the lift column may seize and become inoperable. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 28.

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 ICCI for further information.

Electrical - Grounding Instructions

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug. Some devices are equipped with three???prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two???prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal 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 accordance 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 addition, ICCI has placed RED/ORANGE

WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your lift.

Pinch Points

 WARNING

Pinch points exist at base of lift. Be careful, injury could occur.

OPERATING THE BATH LIFT

SECTION 2???OPERATING THE

BATH LIFT

 WARNING

DO NOT attempt any transfer of a resident without approval of the resident's physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this owner's manual, observe a trained team of experts performing the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a resident.

ICCI recommends the use of the safety strap and shoulder harness when using the bath lift. Always adjust the safety strap and shoulder harness for safety and comfort before transferring the resident onto the chair.

The safety strap should be used when lifting or transferring. Otherwise, the resident may fall from the seat.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the resident.

Lock the rear casters of the bath lift when transferring an individual onto the seat or stretcher. Locking the rear casters will stabilize the lift and help prevent it from shifting during transfer.

Each facility and each resident will require a unique set of instructions and procedures to follow for each bath. Check with your supervisor and the resident???s chart for the proper procedures to follow.

Review and practice the operation with an able bodied assistant before attempting with a resident.

NOTE: ICCI recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation and transferring to/ from procedures; however, the bath lift can be operated with one assistant.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Safety Inspection Checklists

Inspect/Adjust Initially and Monthly

???Inspect caster base for missing hardware.

???Ensure that the caster base is level and not rocking on casters.

???Inspect the casters and axle bolts for tightness.

???Inspect casters for smooth swivel and roll.

???Ensure that casters are free of debris.

???Inspect the inner mast for bends or scrapes.

???Inspect the arms, hardware and attachment points.

???Ensure the seat arms lift out to the sides.

???Ensure the button positions stretcher arms properly.

???Ensure that the seat arms are level and/or even.

???Ensure that the electric actuator assembly operates smoothly and quietly.

???Clean the lift whenever necessary. Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts, enhance smooth operation and extend the life expectancy of the lift.

???Inspect all safety strap attachments to ensure proper connection and occupant safety.

???Inspect the safety strap for signs of wear. Replace if worn or damaged.

???Check that all labels are present and legible. Replace if necessary.

???Inspect electrical components for signs of corrosion. Replace if corroded or damaged.

Adjust Every 6 Months

??? Adjust the frame column. Refer to Adjusting the Lift Column on page 25.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Care and Maintenance of Bath Lift

The lifts are designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory service with minimum care and maintenance.

All parts of the lifts 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 casters or wheel locks, other than cleaning, lubrication and checking 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 ICCI immediately.

Detecting Wear and Damage

It is important to inspect all stressed parts. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately and ensure that the lift is not used until repairs are made.

Cleaning the Lift

 WARNING

The arms and seat of the lift must be cleaned and disinfected after each use with a bath. Refer to Disinfecting the Lift on page 14.

1.A soft cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent, wipe down all parts of the lift that are submerged in water from the bath.

NOTE: The lift can be cleaned with non???abrasive cleaners or disinfectants.

CAUTION

DO NOT use the dryer when laundering the stretcher cover, button cover and safety straps. Line dry only. Otherwise damage may occur.

2.Remove the stretcher cover, button cover and safety straps and wash in warm soapy water. Disinfect as necessary.
