10. Maintenance Schedule & Daily Check List
All Hoyer products are designed for minimum maintenance, however some safety checks and
procedures are required. A schedule of DAILY tasks are detailed below. Daily checks and a
yearly service, inspection and test will ensure a lift is kept in optimum safe working condition. A list
of spare parts is available upon request.
The LOAD TEST and certification should only be carried out by qualified personnel or an autho-
rised service agent / dealer.
DAILY CHECK LIST: Joerns Healthcare strongly recommends the following checks be carried
out on a daily basis and before using lift.
• MAKE SURE the lift moves freely on its castors.
• EXAMINE the spreader bar (cow horns) is firmly attached to the boom.
• EXAMINE the sling hooks and attachment clips on the spreader bar and boom for
excessive wear.
• MAKE SURE the legs open and close correctly.
• OPERATE the hand control to confirm the boom raises and lowers satisfactorily.
• CHECK the operation of the emergency stop button.
• EXAMINE slings for fraying or other damage. DO NOT use any sling if damaged or if the
sling shows signs of wear.
• CONFIRM the lift is not giving a low battery alarm when the hand control is
operated. If the alarm sounds, DO NOT use and place on charge immediately.
