8. SLING COMPATIBILITY

If using a sling with the Aspire Patient Mover, only use certified Aspire Slings as listed
below.
9. CARE & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the working life of the patient mover and for trouble free operation it is
recommended that periodic inspections should be performed routinely by a person
who is suitably qualified and well acquainted with the design, use and care of patient
lifters.
If inspection reveals that the safety of the lifter is jeopardized in any way the lifter
should be IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE, tagged as such and the
owner notified.
MAINTENANCE GUIDE & CHECK LIST
• Check castors are fastened securely to the frame
• Castors should run and swivel smoothly - if hair or other fibres have built up within
the castor this should be removed
• Check that the brakes on the rear castors function normally
• Clean surfaces with a pH neutral detergent - chorine and phenol based detergents
should not be used as these may damage Patient Mover components
• All moving parts and pivot points should be checked for fatigue and lubricated if
necessary
• Sling attachment points should be checked for general wear and tear and replaced
if necessary.
