To keep the VELA Person Lift in optimal condition, regular cleaning is essential. Use a cloth dampened with standard cleaning detergent to wipe down the lift, avoiding strong acids, alkalines, alcohol, or autoclaving, as these can damage the materials. The body support should be handwashed to ensure its longevity.
Before each use, always inspect the body support and straps for signs of wear or damage to maintain safety and reliability.
