Use" or similar language and withdrawn from use until repaired. - Check the sling frequently for any kind of deficiency. - Check the easy movement of the joints of the lift (e.g. Base) - All sliding parts and movable fittings must be lightly greased at least once a year. Use

only acid-free and resin-free grease or oil. - Before each use, check whether the slings are in a proper condition and do not show

any signs of damage. - Use a clean, dry cloth or a cloth moistened with clean water to clean the lift. - Do not use a high pressure cleaner!

Please regard that the RAISA lift should be serviced once a year through an authorized technician from the Horcher GmbH to ensure the high safety standards.
