7.1 Maintenance and servicing

The UK Health and Safety Executive's Lifting Operations and Lifting
Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), require any equipment that is
used in the workplace (e.g. by a paid carer) to lift a load be subject to
safety inspection on a six monthly basis. Please refer to the HSE web
site for guidance www.hse.gov.uk. Link to HSE information document
on LOLER in Health and Social Care:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/hsis4.pdf
If the above cleaning and safety notices are observed, the product will
be maintenance free.

IMPORTANT
The hand control may only be opened by the manufacturer of
the bath lift.
▸ Check the product regularly for damage and to ensure that it is
securely assembled.
▸ In the event of damage and/or necessary repairs, contact the dealer
immediately.

▸ The bath lift must be checked by an authorized dealer before every
re-use or after 24 months at the latest (see Manufacturer's recom-
mendation for rehab products of the SPECTARIS industrial associa-
tion).
▸ If the bath lift is not used for a prolonged period, charge the battery
completely and then raise and lower the bath lift 3 times without
load. Repeat this process every 12 months. This helps to maintain
the service life of the battery.
