Cleaning and Lubrication

Cleaning 

Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and enables equipment 
to function at its optimum. 

Steam  cleaning  with  a  suitable  cleaning  additive  is  the  most  effective  method.  The 
same  results  may  be  achieved  by  using  a  sponge  and  mild  detergent  soap  mixed  in 
warm water. For particularly grimy cases, especially if the stretcher has been in storage 
for a long period, it may be necessary to first wash the stretcher with a solvent soaked 
rag prior to using soap and water. 

Once cleaned, dry the stretcher with a soft towel, paying particular attention to swivel 
and sliding joints. If a compressed air hose is available, you may find that compressed 
air jets are more effective in drying the hard-to-reach places. Once the stretcher is dry, 
you may wish to apply a liquid car wax to polished surfaces. 

Lubrication 

Your  Model  11-T  Stretcher  will  work  efficiently  and  safely  only  when  it  is  well 
lubricated.  You  MUST  lubricate  all  moving  and  sliding  parts  after  every  inspection  or 
preventative  maintenance  programme,  or  if  there  is  inadequate  lubrication  for  the 
moving parts to operate easily and quietly. 

In general terms, almost all sliding and moving parts may be lubricated with a light duty 
grease.  A  penetrating  fluid  lubrication  is  used  on  some  sliding  parts  of  the  stretcher. 
However, when a penetrating fluid lubricant is used, all excess MUST be wiped away, to 
prevent  any  build-up  of  dust  or  grime  that  can  clog  up  working  parts  and  impede 
movement. 

Alternatively, contact the Ferno (UK) Ltd Fieldcare Department at the address on page 
6 of this manual.
