Cleaning
WARNING:
Before cleaning make sure the hoist is disconnected from
mains power supply
Gloves and protective clothing should always be worn when
carrying out cleaning procedures.
All surfaces can be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with
hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse with a cloth moistened with clean
water, dry with paper towels.
To remove potentially infectious material such as body fluids, or when
used by a client with a known infection, clean afterwards with NaDCC
(e.g. Precept, Actichlor) at 10,000 ppm of available chlorine. Rinse and
dry. The Huntleigh Infection Control booklet is available on request.
Cautions
Avoid wetting electrical contacts, plugs, sockets etc.
Do Not use Hypocarbonate or Phenol based cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive compounds or pads.
Tests show undiluted Dettol may damage paint and plastic
parts if prolong contact is allowed.
Spreader bar cover.
The spreader bar cover can be removed for
cleaning. The cover is retained by four plastic rivets. These can be
removed by pulling up on the heads and withdrawing complete rivet from
the cover. The rivets can be reused to secure the cover
Slings. See label on sling or Sling User Guide - available from
Huntleigh Healthcare on request.
Care of the Batteries.
Please plan daily recharging of the hoist, for
example, overnight. Ideally the hoist should be placed on charge
whenever not in use. This will not harm the charger in any way and the
batteries cannot be “overcharged”. Regular charging will help to
maximise performance and maintain battery life.
WARNING
Never dispose of the battery pack in fire as this may cause it
to explode. If in doubt, contact Huntleigh Healthcare.
