Cleaning the Sling and the Lift
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 patient lift. The lift can be cleaned with non‐
abrasive cleaners.
Maintaining the Manual/Hydraulic Pump
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.2 on page 38.
All parts of the Manual/Hydraulic Pump are precision machined, then carefully
assembled and tested to ensure reliable service. The pump assembly is completely
enclosed and sealed with Neoprene rings to prevent leakage of hydraulic oil. A small
amount of oil (about a drop) will accumulate around the piston from time to time and
should be removed with a facial tissue.
The pump is sealed at the factory. DO NOT attempt to open the pump or obtain
local service as this will void the warranty and might result in damage and costly
repair. Consult your dealer or write Invacare for further information.
Replacing a Manual/Hydraulic Pump
1. Loosen the nut that secures the ball of the pump into the mounting socket.
2. Rest the boom on your shoulder and remove the nut, bolt, plastic bushing and pinch
guard from the boom mounting bracket.
3. Remove the pump assembly.
4. Reverse steps for installation.
DO NOT overtighten the nut and bolt. This damages the mounting bracket.
Replacing the Electric Actuator

mounting bracket.
2. Rest the boom on your shoulder and remove the nut, bolt, plastic bushing and pinch
guard from the boom mounting bracket.
