7.1 Daily Check List
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES MUST
BE FOLLOWED BEFORE EACH USE.
• Has the battery been charged? Park the lift
on the charger whenever the lift is not in use.
• Inspect the lift for any damage. If the lift
casing does not look properly aligned, or
there are any cracks or other damage on the
lift, or any parts are missing - DO NOT USE
IT. Contact your local representative to
have the lift serviced.
• Inspect the visible strap for any signs of
wear, frays, loose threads or other damage.
If there is any evidence of damage - DO
NOT USE IT. Contact your local
representative to have the lift serviced.
• Inspect the sling for tears, frayed straps or
loose stitching. If the sling has any of the
above damage –DO NOT USE IT. Contact
your local representative to have the sling
replaced or repaired.
• Inspect the carry bar for any signs of
cracking or damage.
• Ensure the ring and cotter pins that attach
the carry bar to the strap are secure.
7.2 Inspection and Cleaning
Clean the Voyager with a soft dry cloth, or a soft
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of solvent that may
damage the finish.
Do not immerse lift in water.
To ensure a better rolling surface for the trolley
wheels, clean the inside of the track every 4
months. To do so, insert a damp cloth in the
opening and slide it from one end of the track to
the other.
Always reinstall the rail end
stopper (if they have been
removed) after servicing.
7.3 Strap Inspection
This equipment is built with a strap that can
withstand a load of 1364 kg (3000 lbs.)
Nonetheless, if this strap is damaged or shows
signs of wear, the acceptable load on the strap
before rupture can drop rapidly and present a
danger for the patient or caregiver.
BHM Medical recommends thoroughly inspecting
the strap every 2 months as follows:
1. Completely
unwind the strap.
2. Look for any signs of wear:
If there is any signs of wear as
indicated here or other visual
defects, strap should be
changed immediately. By
continuing to use the lift without
changing the strap, caregiver
and patient safety is greatly
compromised.
In any case, the manufacturer
recommends changing the strap at least
every two years. By continuing to use the
lift without changing the strap, caregiver
and patient safety is greatly
