Joerns Healthcare Ltd recommends the Oxford Up and its accessories are subjected to inspection and
maintenance, as detailed in this manual, at appropriate intervals depending on a risk assessment of the
frequency of use and environmental factors. This will ensure the equipment is adequately maintained and
remains safe for use as detailed in PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations). The risk
assessment is necessary as PUWER does not detail specic time intervals.
WARNING
OXFORD RECOMMENDS THE USE OF GENUINE OXFORD PARTS. Oxford sling/belt and products
are designed to be compatible with one another. For country specific guidance on sling/belt use
and compatibility, please refer to the sling/belt label or contact your local market distributor or
Joerns Healthcare.
CAUTION
In the event of identifying any faulty items, please contact your local authorised service provider
or Joerns Healthcare directly.
Frame

block to the chassis, lubricate with a light mineral based grease or food grade spray lubricant.
2. Carefully position the leg operating mechanism assembly in the central position to enable access to
the M8 securing screws. See gs. 2 and 3.
3. Once the leg mechanism is re-assembled into the chassis, ensure the M8 mechanism block securing
screws are tightened securely to 20Nm.
4. Re-assemble the left and right foot pedals to the leg mechanism levers using the 4-o󰀨 M4 securing
screws. NOTE: Prior to re-assembling the M4 securing screws, apply a small amount of medium
strength blue threadlock. CAUTION: Ensure correct orientation. Tighten to 5Nm using a 2.5mm hex
