10. Cleaning and Storage
If the external surfaces become soiled, wipe clean with a cloth dampened with a mild
cleanser. Do not use thinner, benzene, or any other solvents. The
Tapoty
should not be
stored for extended periods of time on its massage spheres as they may flatten over
time. Tip the
Tapoty
over onto its side with cord up. The
Tapoty’s
cord may be coiled
and stored in the handle
as shown on page 7. For best results, always store your equipment in a dry
environment.
11. Use and Service Considerations
The
Tapoty
is maintenance free, constructed with permanently lubricated sealed ball
bearings. No additional lubrication is necessary. The
Tapoty
has no user serviceable
parts inside.
The
Tapoty
is designed for continuous use. With extended use it is normal for the
housing to get warm. If temperatures exceed normal limits, a thermal breaker will shut
off the power, resetting itself when cooled.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
Tapoty
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Remember, when using the
Tapoty in the barn or any other environment prone to damp conditions, it is
required to use the supplied GFCI box between the Tapoty and the power source.
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done
only by
service personnel qualified by Centurion Medical Corp
. Replacement parts for
double-insulated product must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated
product is marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED."
The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the product.
