Care and Maintenance of Bath Lift
NOTE: Follow the maintenance procedures described in this manual to keep the 1900 and 1900S
lift in continuous service.
The 1900 series lifts are designed to provide a maximum of safe, efficient and satisfactory
service with minimum care and maintenance.
All parts of the 1900 series lifts are made of the best grades of steel, but metal‐to‐metal
contact will wear after considerable use.
There is no adjustment or maintenance of either the casters or wheel locks, other than
cleaning, lubrication and checking axle and swivel bolts for tightness. Remove all debris,
etc. from the wheel and swivel bearings. If any parts are worn, replace these parts
IMMEDIATELY.
Invacare recommends a tightened arm rotation. The arm, when placed in the up position,
should stay in the up position. Refer to Adjusting Arm Angle and Tension on page 19.
If you question the safety of any part of the lift, contact your Dealer IMMEDIATELY and
advise him/her of your problem.
Detecting Wear and Damage
It is important to inspect all stressed parts. Replace any damaged or worn parts
IMMEDIATELY and ensure that the lift is not used until repairs are made.
Cleaning the Lift
ƽ WARNING
The arms and seat of the lift MUST be cleaned and disinfected after each use with a
bath. Refer to Disinfecting the Lift on page 12.
1. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent, wipe down
all parts of the lift that are submerged in water from the bath.
NOTE: The lift can be cleaned with non‐abrasive cleaners or disinfectants.
2. Remove and wash the safety strap. Refer to Removing/Installing the Safety Strap on
