Maintenance Schedule
The Ministand™ is subject to wear and tear, and the following actions must be performed when specified
to ensure that the product remains within its original manufacturing specifications.
WARNING: The points on this checklist are the minimum the manufacturer recommends. In some cases
more frequent inspections should be carried out. Continuing to use this equipment without conducting
regular inspections or continuing to use this equipment when a fault is found will seriously compromise
the safety of both the user and the patient. Local regulations and standards may be higher than those of
the manufacturer. Preventive maintenance specified in this manual can prevent accidents.
Refer to diagram on the following page for the location of each inspection area.
These procedures are supplied as a guideline for personnel who are responsible for the maintenance and
safety inspections of patient handling devices. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for ongoing
inspections and checks. These are guidelines only and are not intended as a substitute for a regular,
thorough equipment maintenance program.
The first inspection must be carried out initially a first time using the lift and then every month.
Note: if during your inspection any bolt, nut or structural fastener is removed, it is imperative that you
reinstall all associated safety devices such as cotter pins, split rings and lock nuts. If one of these devices
is defective, you must replace it with an original new component.
