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.
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 specific 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. Observe a team of trained experts perform the lifting procedures. The operator should practice the entire lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and 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 confident 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 find 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIFTING THE PATIENT
Lifting the patient from a bed
1. Roll the patient onto their side. Place the folded sling behind the patient’s back. The center of the sling should be parallel with the patient’s spine. Roll the patient onto their back on top of the sling.
2. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs.
3. Cross the loops, one through the other.
4. Roll the patient lift under the bed, locating the suspension over the patient. Be careful not to lower the suspension onto the patient. Center the suspension over the patient before lifting.
Warning: The casters should not be locked!
5. When all four loops are hooked onto the suspension, raise the patient carefully. If the patient is in a hospital bed, it will help to raise the head section of the bed. Repositioning of the patient may be needed to ensure that a safe and comfortable sitting position is attained as the patient is raised. Reposition using the handle on the back of the sling.
6. Raise the patient until the buttocks are just above the mattress. Lift the patient’s legs and turn the patient to face the lifting column. When clear of the bed, and if practical, lower the patient so that the patient’s feet rest on the chassis. If possible, lower the bed before lifting. Move the patient lift away from the bed. Ensure that the occupants arms and legs clear the patient lift, bed, or any other obstacles.
Warning: Do not attempt to transfer a patient without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare professional and without having read the instructions and practiced using the patient lift.
Warning: Use special care for those patients who cannot cooperate while being lifted.
Warning: Ensure all bolts, hooks, and loops are securely fastened.
Warning: Attendant(s) should practice “Good Body Mechanics” when positioning a patient onto any seating surface.
Warning: Use only Lumex slings with Lumex patient lifts.
Warning: Torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings should not be used as injury could result.
Warning: Ensure the floor area is clear of any obstacle that could cause a caster to stop and possibly tip the patient lift.
15
Lowering the patient onto a bed
1. Raise the patient lift until the patient’s buttocks are above the surface of the bed. Ensure that there are no obstacles underneath or around the bed. Move the patient lift under the bed. Be careful the patient does not hit any portion of the bed and that the patient’s legs have cleared the bed.
2. Center the patient over the bed, and rotate the patient to face the foot section of the bed. Carefully lower the patient onto the bed. It may be necessary to support the patient’s head while being low­ered. Remove the sling by reversing the procedures used when lifting the patient.
Lifting the patient from the floor
1. Position the patient lift behind the patient, placing a pillow over the base to protect and support the patient’s head and neck. Place the head of the patient carefully on the base. The patient lift should be positioned with the suspension centered over the patient.
2. Lower the suspension and attach the sling to the four hooks.
3. Lift the patient up above the floor. Position the patient in the sling by pulling the handle on the back of the sling. Turn the patient to face the lifting column, and place the patient’s feet on the base, straddling the column for extra stability.
Lowering the patient to the floor
1. Place a pillow on the base to protect the patient’s head and neck (This is unnecessary when using a sling with a head support).
2. Reverse the above procedures to lower.
Transferring the patient from a chair to a wheelchair
Note: It is recommended that two (2) attendants be used when transferring a patient to and from a
wheelchair.
Warning: Wheel locks must be in a LOCKED POSITION before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport and for removing the patient from the wheelchair. Failure to do so could result in unexpected movement of the wheelchair, which may result in seri­ous injury to both the patient and the attendants.
1. Fold the sling.
2. While maintaining support, gently lean the patient forward. Place the folded sling behind the patient’s back and push it down until it touches the seat of the chair.
3. With the loops, pull the leg sections of the sling forward and beneath the patient’s thighs. The loops are then crossed, one through the other.
4. Move the patient lift around to the front of the chair. When all four loops are hooked onto the suspension, carefully raise the patient.
5. Remove the chair and move the wheelchair into position.
6. Lock the wheels of the wheelchair to prevent movement.
7. Position the patient over the wheelchair with their back against the back of the wheelchair.
16
8. Slowly lower the patient into the wheelchair.
9. With one (1) attendant behind the wheelchair and the other operating the lift, the attendant behind the chair should pull back on the handle or sides of the sling to place the patient into the back of the chair. This will maintain a good center of balance and prevent the chair from tipping forward.
Removing sling
Gently pull the leg sections to the side, out from under the patient’s thighs. Standing by the patient’s side, lean the patient forward while supporting the patient with one hand. Pull the sling up from behind the patient’s back and position the patient in the chair.
Warning: Pulling sharply on the sling may cause the patient to fall forward, resulting in personal injury. Always support the patient by keeping one arm around the patient’s shoulders when placing or removing the sling.
Note: If possible, the patient should be encouraged to take an active part in removing the sling. The
patient can lean forward, lift their thighs, and help in removing the leg sections.
Transferring the patient from a bed to a wheelchair or commode chair
1. For smooth, easy lifting, have the wheelchair or commode chair in ready position.
2. With patient in center of bed, roll on side away from attendant.
3. Place sling halfway under patient with lower edge just beneath knees.
4. Roll patient to side toward attendant and center patient on sling.
5. With base of lift under bed, release pressure knob by turning counter-clockwise and pull down boom. Insert the S hooks on the chains into the holes of the backs and seats of sling. Ensure that the open end of the S hooks are away from patient.
6. Hook each chain at the red link onto the swivel bar securely.
7. Lock rear casters. Turn pressure knob clockwise until tight, and lift the patient by operating the pump handle.
8. Lift patient until feet will swing easily off the bed keeping patient facing attendant.
9. Unlock rear casters and position patient above wheelchair or commode chair. Lock brakes of both lift and wheelchair or commode chair.
10. Release pressure knob by turning counter-clockwise for gradual lowering of patient. During descent, assist patient to attain correct sitting posture.
11. For transfer to wheelchair or commode chair, when patient is seated, push down on boom to slacken chains and remove S hooks from sling. Patient can remain seated on sling.
12. For commode chair use, adjust clothing before moving lift to straddle commode chair. Keep chains taut and ensure that patient is in a comfortable position.
17
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance is essential to keeping your Lumex patient lift in a safe operating condi­tion. In addition to inspecting the unit before each use, periodic maintenance checks should be done. We further recommend that this unit be serviced at least once annually by an authorized dealer.
Warning: It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use. Ensure that all hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is functioning properly. Failure to do so could result in patient / attendant injury or damage to your patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, resulting in serious injury. Only use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use. Destroy and discard old worn and unusable slings.
When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your authorized Lumex dealer, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.
Before each use
Before each use of the patient lift, ensure that:
• All nuts and bolts are tight
• The lift moves freely (with caster brakes off)
•Rear caster brakes operate properly
•Base adjustment mechanism operates easily
•Swivel bar S hooks are secured tightly
• The hydraulic pump operates properly (LF1030 only)
The electronic components operate properly (LF1040 only)
Battery
To increase the longevity of the battery, keep the battery on charge when not in use.
Lubrication
Your Lumex patient lift was designed with minimum maintenance in mind; however, a six (6) month check and lubrication should ensure that your patient lift will remain in peak operating condition. The casters MUST roll and swivel freely. Lightweight waterproof grease (such as automobile lubricant) should be applied to the ball bearings of the casters every six (6) months. Apply grease more frequently if the casters are exposed to periods of excess moisture. Lubricate all pivot points with lightweight oil. Clean patient lift of all excess oil and grease.
Before use of the patient lift, and every two months thereafter, place a drop of oil on the following areas:
• The point where mast and boom connect
•Swivel bar hooks
•Pump handle hinge
• Caster axles
• The point where pump and boom connect (LF1030 only)
The point where actuator and boom connect (LF1040 only)
18
Cleaning
Regular cleaning is recommended. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long period of time.
DO NOT wash under water pressure or steam clean.
Checking for damage and wear
It is extremely important to frequently check the areas of the patient lift that are under a great deal of stress for damage and wear. These areas include slings, spreader bars, spreader bar suspension and mount­ing hardware, pump mounting hardware and all pivot points. Inspect for signs of cracking, fraying, deformation, and any loose components. Replace any defective parts immediately, and make certain that the patient lift is not used until repairs are made. Contact your authorized Lumex dealer for replacement parts.
Care of sling
Lumex slings are easy to use. They are washable at 150° F and autoclavable at 185° F for 30 minutes. The head support's plastic insert should be removed before washing. The slings can be dried by using a dryer on LOW heat or by hanging.
Note: Slings should not be bleached!
