5.4 Wheel Cleaning
After using the device on muddy or very dirty ground, it is
advisable to clean the wheel carefully. Here below you can
find the procedure for proper maintenance.
1. First try to remove as much dirt and dust as possible
using compressed air from a distance to avoid damaging the
product
2. Clean the wheel and the wleel locking pin with water and
tap them dry.
Now that the dirt has been removed from the surfaces, if
necessary it is possible to
lubricate the hub using a nautical
grease or water resistant grease.
5.5 Inspection
To ensure optimal use of the devices, it is important to keep
all the components in good condition and to remove all
traces of dirt, debris and body fluids. The devices must be
inspected before and after each use and cleaned after each
use. If the devices are not used, they must be stored in a dry
indoor environment and should be inspected at least once a
month.
The device must be inspected by the maintenance personnel
on a regular basis. Perform the various checks written in this
manual.
If any signs of wear or damage are found during inspection,
discontinue use of the stretcher immediately and contact
Ferno's Technical Support Service to request repairs/
maintenance. See the chapter on Technical Support.
5.6 Lubrication of the stretcher
Disinfect and clean the device before applying the lubricant.
There are two areas of lubrication in the Tirol Kit:
- On the quick locking release mechanism of the V-shaped
wheel forks
- In the holes that accommodate the wheel locking pin
Lubricate with a drop of SAE 30 oil, and then move the
mechanism back and forth several times to work the oil into
the guide.
Remove any excess lubricant with a cloth.
