Each Use
(To be completed by User)
Prior to each use the A-450/A-625 lift and associated track, accessories, and slings must be visually
inspected. Refer to the accessory and sling user guides for specific details regarding their inspection.
Should any of these items fail the inspection do not use the lift. Contact your local
authorized dealer for service.
Visually check for the following:
✓
The lift strap shows NO signs of fraying or breaking along its entire length.

The stitching on the lift strap where it connects to the carry bar shows no signs of fraying or
breaking.
✓
If the lift strap wear indicators are grey, replace the lift strap regardless of number of cycles.

The sling that will be used show no signs of unusual wear and tear. The straps of the sling that
connect to the carry bar of the lift show no signs of fraying or breaking. Refer to specific sling
