EasyStand StrapStand, Owner'S Manual, Page: 13 / 28

Maintenance
• Clean the EasyStand StrapStand with a mild non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water.
• Check your EasyStand periodically to make sure that 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
Hydraulic Actuator Maintenance
• An initial break-in period of approximately 50-100 full cycles is normal for the hydraulic unit. You
may experience a squeaking or a less-than-smooth forward stroke. The very close fit of its mating
parts gives each pump its own break-in “feel” and signature sound.
• If the pump is leaking oil, call your local AMI Supplier for a replacement. The serial number of the
StrapStand will be needed.
• Do not exert excessive force on the pump handle or use the pump handle to move your EasyStand
around. 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 capacity of the equipment for which this hydraulic unit is used on
(the weight limit for the EasyStand StrapStand is 350 lbs).
• If your EasyStand was shipped to you during or exposed to a temperature of less then 50 degrees
Fahrenheit, you must allow the hydraulic unit to warm up to room temperature before any use.
Failure to follow this step could damage the unit and render it inoperable.
• It is sometimes not necessary to push the pump handle all the way forward to lower the seat. If you
have difficulty getting the seat to lower, try pushing the handle forward into different positions.
• 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 forward.
PURGING THE HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR
The hydraulic pump on your 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 hydraulic 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.
