2.2 Operating Information
2.2.1 General
WARNING!
-The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to
another (such as a bed to a wheelchair).
-DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read
the instructions in this user manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures, and then perform
the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.
-Use common sense in all lifts. Special care MUST BE taken with people with disabilities who cannot cooperate while
being lifted.
-Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare
patient lifts. Slings and accessories designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of
the Invacare patient lift system.
-If the patient lift is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity, and/or becomes wet
prior to use, ensure the handgrips do not twist on the patient lift handle; otherwise, damage or injury may occur.

2.2.2 Pinch Points and Positioning
WARNING!
-Be aware of pinch points, such as between the boom and
hanger bar and at the base of the lift, to prevent pinching
fingers.
-When positioning the lift, be aware of the position of the
hanger bar and the patient. Injury could occur.
Fig. 2-1
2.2.3 Lift Assembly
WARNING!
-DO NOT overtighten the mounting hardware. This will damage the mounting brackets.
2.2.4 Lift Operation
WARNING!
-Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation and transferring-from and
transferring-to procedures, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is
based on the evaluation of the healthcare professional for each individual case.
-Make sure there is an audible click when mounting the battery on the battery charger to confirm proper mounting;
otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
-DO NOT exceed the maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation for the RPL450-1 is 450 lb; the
weight limitation for the RPL600-1 is 600 lb.
-ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
