1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Lumex patient lift. The following pages will provide you
with important safety and operating instructions on the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories,
as well as maintenance and warranty information. Read this manual carefully before operating
your patient lift and refer to it as often as needed. Consult your Lumex dealer and/or healthcare
professional with any questions or concerns regarding safe and effective techniques for operating
your patient lift.
The Lumex Patient Lift is intended to aid in the transfer of an individual who is unable to independently transfer between bed, chair, wheelchair, and/or commode.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare provider. With
their assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of the person being lifted. It is important that you use correct slings adapted to the body shape and weight
and ability of the patient and the specic type of transfer needed.
Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing is
damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that all patient lift parts are in the proper place, etc.
Immediately replace any worn or broken components. Your patient lift should receive maintenance
on a regular schedule and should be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact your Lumex
dealer for service and repairs.
Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. The operator should practice the entire lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with a capable individual acting as patient. It is extremely important to know how a patient will feel in the patient lift. We
suggest that the operator try all the various lifting slings and equipment until the operator is condent with how the patient lift operates. The lifting procedures should be explained to the patient
before the actual lifting. Remember that safety requires the constant attention of the lift occupant
and the operator. Use extreme care and common sense when operating a patient lift.
This guide covers the use of the LF1030 Hydraulic Patient Lift and the LF1040 Electric Patient Lift.
Keep in mind that the basic safety procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide
only. You may nd it necessary to develop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient
lift. Again, consult your healthcare professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to
ask for their assistance.
Note: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift, refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this manual. Contact your Lumex dealer if additional
assistance is needed.
Note: In this manual, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” or “occupant”
and the person operating the patient lift is called the “operator” or “attendant”.
Please note the following special statements, used throughout this manual, and their signicance:
WARNING: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
could result in minor personal injury or product/property damage.
Note: Provides application recommendations or other useful information to ensure that you
get the most from your product.

2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before using patient lift, please read and adhere to the following safety precautions
and warnings. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or damage to your patient lift.
Always consult your healthcare professional to determine safe methods most suitable for your
individual abilities. Protect yourself, your attendant and patient lift by having it serviced regularly.
If you experience any malfunction, contact your Lumex dealer immediately, as a hazardous condition could result, causing personal injury or damage to your patient lift.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and replacement of worn parts are necessary to provide years of
excellent service. Refer to CARE AND MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
WARNINGS
WARNING: Important! Read and understand these instructions before assembling or us-
ing the LF1030 and LF1040. If you do not understand any part of these warnings, cautions or instructions, contact a healthcare professional for direction in the use of this
product. If the Lumex Patient Lift is not properly assembled, personal injury and damage
to the Lumex Patient Lift could result.
WARNING: If components are damaged or missing, contact your dealer immediately. DO
NOT use substitute parts. Use only Lumex replacement parts. The use of non-Lumex replacement parts could cause personal injury, property damage, and void the warranty.
WARNING: The LF1030 Hydraulic Patient Lift / LF1040 Electric Patient Lift maximum
weight capacity is 400 pounds. DO NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity.
WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. assumes no responsibility for any damage or injury
caused by improper assembly or use of this product.
WARNING: Check all parts for shipping damage before using. In case of damage, DO
NOT USE the equipment. Contact the carrier or your authorized Lumex dealer for further
instructions.
WARNING: Patient lift may tip over if used incorrectly. Read and adhere to the operating
instructions prior to lifting anyone.
WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. strongly recommends that two caregivers take part
in the lifting process.
WARNING: When transferring a patient, always keep the patient centered over the base.
WARNING: This patient lift is designed for transfer only. It is not intended to be used for
transporting or moving a patient from one location to another.
WARNING: Never use the patient lift to lift or transfer anything other than a person.
WARNING: Ensure that lifting sling loops are correctly attached to the hooks to prevent
the patient from sliding or falling out of the sling, which could result in personal injury.
Ensure that sling grip handles are always positioned away from the patient so that the
smooth side is facing the patient.
WARNING: Do not lock or block the casters when lifting. The casters must be free to roll
so that the patient lift can stabilize as the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed, or
any stationary object.
WARNING: To ensure stability while lifting or transferring a patient, the patient lift legs
must be locked in the maximum open position.
WARNING: Replace any worn or broken parts immediately! Torn, cut, frayed, or broken
slings can fail, resulting in personal injury. Use only slings that are in good condition.
