9. Maintenance Schedule
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 and a six
monthly 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 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.
- MAKE sure the lift moves freely on its castors.
- MAKE sure the spreader bar is free to rotate and swing. Check the spreader bar is firmly attached
to the boom.
- ENSURE the mast is fully engaged into the mast slot and the mast locking device is securely
tightened.
- EXAMINE the sling hooks on the spreader bar and side suspenders for excessive wear. If in doubt
- do not use.
- EXAMINE slings for fraying or other damage. DO NOT use any sling if damaged or if the sling
shows signs of wear.
- MAKE sure the legs open and close correctly.
- OPERATE the hand control to confirm the boom raises and lowers satisfactorily.
- 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.
- Check the operation of the emergency stop button.
