9. CARE & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the working life of the stander and for trouble free operation
it is recommended that periodic inspections should be performed
routinely by a person who is suitably qualified and well acquainted with
the design, use and care of patient standers.
If inspection reveals that the safety of the stander is jeopardized in any
way the stander should be IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE,
tagged as such and the owner notified.
MAINTENANCE GUIDE & CHECK LIST
• Check castors are fastened securely to the frame
• Castors should run and swivel smoothly - if hair or other fibres have
built up within the castor this should be removed
• Check that the brakes on the rear castors function normally
• Clean surfaces with a pH neutral detergent - chlorine and phenol
based detergents should not be used as these may damage stander
components
• All moving parts and pivot points should be checked for fatigue and
lubricated if necessary
• All electrical components should be checked for normal function
including battery and battery charger
