Servicing and maintenance
ISO10535 requires that all equipment used to lift people must be fully serviced, including a load test, at
least every 12 months. The frequency of servicing should be increased in areas where the environment
or heavy usage may cause deterioration of the equipment. Chiltern Invadex recommend that in these
circumstances hoists are serviced every 6 months. An orange indicator light will show on the hoist when
a service is due.
In addition to servicing, the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) require 6 six
monthly inspections of any device and accessories (including slings) which are used as work equipment.
This includes in a private home where a carer is employed.
Additional services and LOLER inspections should be carried out where the scheme has been unused
for long periods, subject to modication or at point re-installation.
Information regarding LOLER requirements can be seen at http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/hsis4.pdf.
Maintenance of this equipment should only be conducted by engineers trained and certied by Chiltern
Invadex.
Keep the service record (at the back of this booklet) up to date.
DO NOT USE IF:
1. There is any damage to the hoist.
2. There is fraying or stitch damage to the lifting tape or slings.
To ensure maximum cleanliness
Wipe with a dry cloth (track and hoist). For stubborn marks use a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. Always
read the manufacturers instructions prior to applying the cleanser. To prevent damage the hoist and
handset must never be submerged in water.
Slings should be washed in accordance with the instructions on the label, sewn into the sling.
