1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Lumex patient lift. The following pages will provide you
with important safety and operating instructions on the use of patient lifts, slings, and accessories,
as well as maintenance and warranty information. Read this manual carefully before operating
your patient lift and refer to it as often as needed. Consult your Lumex dealer and/or healthcare
professional with any questions or concerns regarding safe and effective techniques for operating
your patient lift.
The Lumex Patient Lift is intended to aid in the transfer of an individual who is unable to indepen-
dently transfer between bed, chair, wheelchair, and/or commode.
DO NOT attempt any transfer without prior approval of the patient’s healthcare provider. With
their assistance, select the sling that best serves the needs, abilities, comfort and safety of the per-
son being lifted. It is important that you use correct slings adapted to the body shape and weight
and ability of the patient and the specific type of transfer needed.
Upon receipt of the patient lift, and prior to each use, inspect it closely to ensure that nothing is
damaged, there are no loose or broken parts, that all patient lift parts are in the proper place, etc.
Immediately replace any worn or broken components. Your patient lift should receive maintenance
on a regular schedule and should be inspected daily for proper operation. Contact your Lumex
dealer for service and repairs.
Before lifting anyone, thoroughly read the instructions in this manual. Ideally, observe a team of
trained experts performing the lifting procedures. The operator should then practice the entire
lifting procedure several times with proper supervision and with a capable individual acting as
patient. It is extremely important to know how a patient will feel in the patient lift. We suggest that
the operator try all the various lifting slings and equipment until the operator is confident with
how the patient lift operates. The lifting procedures should be explained to the patient before the
actual lifting. Remember that safety requires the constant attention of the lift occupant and the
operator. Use extreme care and common sense when operating a patient lift.
This guide covers the use of the LF1031FP Hydraulic Patient Lift. Keep in mind that the basic safety
procedures included in this manual are to be used as a guide only. You may find it necessary to de-
velop your own unique methods for safely utilizing the patient lift. Again, consult your healthcare
professionals for their recommendations and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.
Info: Before attempting to assemble the patient lift, refer to the section titled “ASSEMBLY IN-
STRUCTIONS” contained elsewhere in this manual. Contact your Lumex dealer if additional
assistance is needed.
Info: In this manual, the person being lifted is referred to as the “patient” or “occupant”
and the person operating the patient lift is called the “operator” or “attendant”.
Please note the following special statements, used throughout this manual, and their significance:
WARNING: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate personal injury.
s NOTICE: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
could result in product or property damage.

6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIFTING THE PATIENT
WARNING: Do not attempt to transfer a patient without prior approval of the patient’s
healthcare professional and without having read the instructions and practiced using
the patient lift.
WARNING: Use special care for those patients who cannot cooperate while being lifted.
WARNING: Ensure all bolts, hooks, and loops are securely fastened.
WARNING: Use only Lumex slings with Lumex patient lifts.
WARNING: DO NOT use torn, cut, frayed or broken slings as injury could result.
WARNING: Ensure the floor area is clear of any obstacle that could cause a caster to
stop and possibly tip the patient lift.
Info: Instructional videos that review the application of several sling styles and lifting sce-
Lifting the patient from a bed
1. With patient face-up in center of bed, roll patient onto their side away from attendant.
2. Place sling, folded lengthwise, halfway under patient with lower edge just beneath knees.
3. Roll patient onto their side toward attendant, pull sling to smooth it, and center patient on sling.
4. Pull the leg loops forward and under the thighs.
5. Cross the loops, one through the other.
6. Roll the patient lift under the bed, locating the spreader bar over the patient. Be careful not to
lower the spreader bar onto the patient. Center the spreader bar over the patient before lifting.
WARNING: Do not lock or block the patient lift casters when lifting. The casters must be
free to roll so that the patient lift can stabilize as the patient is lifted from the bed.
WARNING: To ensure stability while lifting or transferring a patient, the patient lift legs
must be locked in the maximum open position.
7. Hook the sling loops onto the spreader bar.
8. If the patient is in a hospital bed, raise the bed's head section to elevate the patient.
9. Raise the patient carefully. If possible, lower the bed. Reposition the patient as needed, using
the handle on the back of the sling, to ensure a safe and comfortable sitting position as the
patient is raised.
10. Raise the patient until the buttocks are just above the mattress. Lift the patient’s legs and turn
the patient to face the lifting column. Move the patient lift away from the bed. Ensure that the
patient's arms and legs clear the patient lift, bed, or any other obstacles.
Lowering the patient onto a bed
1. Raise the patient lift until the patient’s buttocks are above the surface of the bed. Ensure that
there are no obstacles underneath or around the bed. Move the patient lift under the bed. Ensure
the patient does not hit any portion of the bed and that the patient’s legs have cleared the bed.
2. Center the patient over the bed, and rotate the patient to face the foot section of the bed. SLOW-
LY release the pressure knob by turning counter-clockwise for gradual lowering of the patient.
Carefully lower the patient onto the bed. Support the patient’s head, if necessary, while being
lowered. Remove the sling by reversing the procedures used when lifting patient from bed.

Lifting the patient from the floor
1. Position the patient lift behind the patient, placing a pillow over the base to protect and sup-
port the patient’s head and neck. Place the patient's head carefully on the pillow. The patient
lift should be positioned with the spreader bar centered over the patient.
2. Lower the spreader bar. Attach the sling to the spreader bar hooks.
3. Lift the patient up above the floor. Position the patient in the sling by pulling the handle on the
back of the sling.
4. Turn the patient to face the lifting column. Remove pillow from base and place the patient’s
feet on the base, straddling the column for extra stability.
Lowering the patient to the floor
1. Place a pillow on the base to protect the patient’s head and neck (this is unnecessary when us-
ing a sling with a head support).
2. Reverse the above procedures to lower.
Transferring the patient from a chair to a wheelchair or commode chair
WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. recommends that two attendants be used when
transferring a patient to and from a wheelchair.
1. Fold the sling.
2. While maintaining support, gently lean the patient forward. Place the folded sling behind the
patient’s back and push it down until it touches the seat of the chair.
3. Use the loops to pull the leg sections of the sling forward and beneath the patient’s thighs.
Then cross the loops, one through the other.
4. Move the patient lift around to the front of the chair.
5. Hook all sling loops onto the spreader bar.
6. Carefully raise the patient.
7. The second attendant should now move the wheelchair into position.
8. Engage the wheelchair wheel locks to prevent movement.
WARNING: Before transfer, ensure wheelchair wheel locks are in locked position. Wheel-
chair wheel locks must be in a LOCKED POSITION before lowering the patient into the
wheelchair, or unexpected wheelchair movement could result, which may result in seri-
ous injury to both the patient and the attendants.
9. Position the patient over the wheelchair with their back against the back of the wheelchair.
10. SLOWLY lower the patient into the wheelchair.
11. With one attendant behind the wheelchair and the other operating the lift, the attendant be-
hind the chair should pull back on the handle or sides of the sling to place the patient into the
back of the chair. This will maintain a good center of balance and prevent the chair from tip-

Removing the sling
Gently pull the leg sections to the side, out from under the patient’s thighs. Standing by the pa-
tient’s side, lean the patient forward while supporting the patient with one hand. Pull the sling up
from behind the patient’s back and position the patient in the chair.
WARNING: Pulling sharply on the sling may cause the patient to fall forward, resulting
in personal injury. Always support the patient by keeping one arm around the patient’s
shoulders when placing or removing the sling.
Info: If possible, the patient should be encouraged to take an active part in removing the
sling. The patient can lean forward, lift their thighs, and help in removing the leg sections.
Transferring the patient from a bed to a wheelchair or commode chair
1. For smooth, easy lifting, have the wheelchair or commode chair in ready position with wheel
locks in locked position.
2. With patient face-up in center of bed, roll patient onto their side away from attendant.

7 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your Lumex patient lift in a safe operating
condition. In addition to inspecting the unit before each use, periodic maintenance checks should
be done. We further recommend that this unit be serviced at least once annually by an authorized
dealer.
WARNING: It is extremely important that the patient lift be inspected before each use.
Ensure that all hardware and accessories are secure and that the actuator is function-
ing properly. Failure to do so could result in patient / attendant injury or damage to your
patient lift. Torn, cut, frayed or broken slings can fail, resulting in serious injury. Only
use slings in good condition. Inspect before each use. Destroy and discard old worn and
unusable slings.
When you believe a component or part is not functioning properly, immediately contact your au-
thorized Lumex dealer, as a potentially hazardous condition could exist.
BEFORE EACH USE
Before each use of the patient lift, ensure that:
• All nuts and bolts are tight
• The lift moves freely (with caster brakes off)
• Rear caster brakes operate properly
• Base adjustment mechanism operates easily
• Spreader bar clips are secured tightly
• The hydraulic pump operates properly
LUBRICATION
Your Lumex patient lift was designed with minimum maintenance in mind; however, a six (6)
month check and lubrication should ensure that your patient lift will remain in peak operating con-
dition. The casters MUST roll and swivel freely. Lightweight waterproof grease (such as automobile
lubricant) should be applied to the ball bearings of the casters every six (6) months. Apply grease
more frequently if the casters are exposed to periods of excess moisture. Lubricate all pivot points
with lightweight oil. Clean patient lift of all excess oil and grease.
Before use of the patient lift, and every two months thereafter, place a drop of oil on the following
areas:
• The point where mast and boom connect
• Spreader bar hooks
• Pump handle hinge
• Caster axles
• The point where pump and boom connect

CLEANING
Regular cleaning is recommended. A soft cloth, dampened with water and a mild NON-ABRASIVE
detergent (household cleaner, soapy water, or hospital grade disinfectant) is all that is needed to
clean your patient lift. Automobile wax or furniture polish will help maintain the finish over a long
period of time.
s NOTICE: DO NOT wash patient lift under water pressure or steam clean.
CHECKING FOR DAMAGE AND WEAR
It is extremely important to frequently check the areas of the patient lift that are under a great deal
of stress for damage and wear. These areas include slings, spreader bars, spreader bar suspension
and mounting hardware, pump mounting hardware and all pivot points. Inspect for signs of crack-
ing, fraying, deformation, and any loose components
s NOTICE: Replace any defective parts immediately, and make certain that the patient lift
is not used until repairs are made. Contact your authorized Lumex dealer for replace-
ment parts.
CARE OF SLINGS
Lumex slings are washable at 150° F and autoclavable at 185° F for 30 minutes. The head support's
plastic insert should be removed before washing. The slings can be dried by using a dryer on LOW
heat or by hanging.
s NOTICE: DO NOT bleach slings!
