10. Maintenance Schedule & Daily Check List
All Oxford products are designed for minimum maintenance, however some safety checks
and procedures are required. A schedule of DAILY tasks are detailed below. Daily checks,
a bi-annual thorough examination and an annual service 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
authorised service agent / dealer.
DAILY CHECK LIST: Joerns Healthcare strongly recommends the following checks be carried
out on a daily basis and before using lift.
• ENSURE the lift moves freely and all 4 castors touch the floor.
• EXAMINE the spreader bar (cow horns) is firmly attached to the boom.
• EXAMINE the sling hooks and attachment clips on the cow horn and boom for damage and/or
excessive wear.
• ENSURE the legs open and close correctly and lock in all open and closed positions.
• OPERATE the hand control to confirm the boom raises and lowers satisfactorily.
• ENSURE the control box display panel DOES NOT have a spanner symbol illuminated and
no audible beep can be heard when depressing raise/lower buttons.
• CHECK the operation of the emergency stop button.
• EXAMINE slings for fraying or other damage. DO NOT use any sling if damaged.
• 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.
• VISUALLY INSPECT all fixings and fasteners and ensure they are secure prior to use.
Maintenance, Inspection and Test
Joerns Healthcare recommend a thorough inspection and test of the Oxford Elevate lift and lifting
accessories, slings etc is carried out on a regular basis. Inspection frequency varies from country
