Cleaning/Disinfecting 

•   Clean the EasyStand with a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water.
•   Check the EasyStand at least weekly to ensure all nuts, bolts and adjustable parts are tightened securely, failure    
 

to do so may result in parts falling off which may cause a choking hazard for children.

•  Do not use bleach or any other bleach-based cleaners on the EasyStand. 
•  Disinfecting wipes are safe to use on metal and non-porous surfaces. 
•  Use a damp sponge with mild soap or a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant.   
•  Spot clean Neoprene with mild soap and water.  
•  Neoprene covers may be removed and hand washed with water. Air dry the covers. Always use care when  

 

 

removing and replacing the covers.  

•  Do not dry clean any upholstery items.
•  If the EasyStand is being used with one user, clean the EasyStand on a monthly basis or as needed.
•  If the EasyStand is being used in a multiple-user environment, the EasyStand should be cleaned after each use.

Urethane Coated Fabrics 

(Dartex or generic equivalent)

 

•  The recommended cleaning and disinfection instructions should be followed whenever possible to avoid damage    
 

to the PU membrane which could lead to premature failure of the cover.

•  For superficial dirt, use a disposable wipe and a warm solution of neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. 
•  Disinfect using a 0.1% sodium hypochlorite solution (1000ppm chlorine), stronger bleach solutions not 
 recommended. 
•  Thoroughly rinse any remaining cleaning solution with water and dry fabric before re-use or storage.
•  Do not iron.

Hydraulic Actuator Maintenance 

•   An initial break-in period of approximately 50-100 full cycles is normal for the hydraulic unit. The very close fit of    
 

its mating parts gives each pump its own break-in “feel” and signature sound, signaled by a squeaking or a 

 

less-than-smooth stroke.

•   If the pump is leaking oil or not holding properly contact your local EasyStand Supplier for a replacement.  
•   Do not exert excessive force on the pump handle or use the pump handle to move an EasyStand. This may cause    
 

damage to the pump handle and/or the pump mechanism and will void any warranty.

•   User maintenance is not required or recommended on the hydraulic pump. Never apply lubricant, household oil,    
 

grease, or a similar product to any part of the unit. Some compounds may react with the seals used in the 

 

manufacture of this product. This may damage the unit and will void any warranty.

•   Do not exceed the rated weight limit.
•   If the EasyStand was shipped and exposed to a temperature of less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the hydraulic unit   
 

must warm to room temperature before use. Failure to follow this step could damage the unit and render it 

 inoperable.
•  Once the standing position is reached, the pump may settle back one stroke, this is normal.
•   It is not always necessary to push the pump handle all the way back to lower the seat. Try  pushing the handle  

 

 

back in different positions if it is difficult to lower the seat. 

•   If the unit is in the standing position and unoccupied, it is necessary to apply pressure to the seat of the unit while 
 

pushing the pump handle back.

Purging The Hydraulic Actuator

The hydraulic pump on the EasyStand has a high probability of getting air trapped in the internal workings of the unit. 
This is usually caused by in-transit handling and is quite normal. Please follow the simple steps below, as manual hy-
draulic systems may never operate properly unless the entrapped air is correctly purged. The unit must be at room 
temperature for this procedure.

1. Pump the handle until the full extension is reached.
2. Now continue pumping the handle slowly for an additional 10 strokes. This will properly purge the system.
