10.0 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
To ensure optimal performance of the T7 Point-of-Care Technology Cart, please observe the following maintenance
and cleaning schedule monthly.
10.1
CART MAINTENANCE
SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT
Do not attempt to service or replace any part of the T7 unless directed to do so through Humanscale-
approved documentation (i.e., this User Manual or other instructions). Only Humanscale or a
Humanscale-certified entity may service or replace the cart components. If any component on the
cart is missing or damaged, the cart must not be used. Contact Humanscale Customer Service
immediately to request service.
CABLES
All cables aside from the AC power cord, keyboard USB, mouse USB, and PC/laptop power cords
are routed internally within the T7. Be sure that cords are clean and not broken or cut at any location.
Be sure that they are solidly connected to their respective outlet.
CASTERS
Check casters periodically to ensure that they are clean and free of any debris that could prevent
smooth operation. Avoid moving the T7 across uneven, dirty, or damaged surfaces.
CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT
Be sure equipment is balanced and mounted securely to the T7. Repositioning the cart components
too high or too low may create an unstable condition, leading to equipment damage or personal
injury. Note: Failure to adhere to these guidelines may void Product Warranty. (See Section 18.0
Warranty, page 64.)
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
All battery maintenance must be performed by a trained technician. Before performing all battery
maintenance, put the T7 in Standby Mode (see Section 6.3 Battery Level Indicator, page 40.), unplug
the power cord from the wall, and disconnect the ground (black) lead from the battery. Visually
inspect the cart’s battery monthly. If a battery bulges severely on charge, it is an indication of a
blocked valve or an overcharge situation. Please contact Humanscale if you notice any
battery defects.
Cable connections must be cleaned and tightened as part of your scheduled maintenance. Many
battery problems are caused by dirty or loose terminal connections. First, remove the battery from
the T7 prior to cleaning. The battery terminals should be cleaned using three tablespoons of baking
soda in a pint of water.
The battery supplied with the T7 is sealed. Never attempt to open the battery or add any water or
other fluids.
Disconnect & remove battery from cart when there is any scheduled service, and all situations which
places the T7 cart in an inactive state for more than 14 days.
