1.3 Before use
The carer/helper is responsible for ensuring that a daily check is carried out BEFORE the Solar
and accessories are used, including the following:
•
Check that the Solar is complete, and no parts are missing.
•
Check that there are no signs of rust, wear and tear or other defects. If there is any sign of
a defect the Solar must be taken out of use.
•
Check the key functions, up/down and the leg adjustment are working on both the
control box and the hand control. If the checks or the use of the Solar generate unusual
noises, then the Solar must not be used before a qualified technician has carried out a
safety check on the Solar.
•
Check the lifting slings for any damages especially as regards to the lifting straps for tears
in the material. The slings must not be used if defects are detected.
•
If in any doubt concerning the use of Solar or lifting slings, contact Winncare Nordic for
advice and guidance.
