Series Stretcher Service Manual (man115re)
Clean the surface with a soft dampened cloth, followed by wiping with a dry
cloth. At no time should a wet cloth be allowed to remain on the surface. Any
liquid spilled on the surface should be wiped up immediately. Do not allow any
liquid to lie on the surface unattended. Damage to the surface could occur.
For protection of the finish, use a liquid type furniture polish. Polish about
once a month, and wipe off any excess with a soft dry cloth. Repair any nicks
or scrapes to prevent water damage.
General Cleaning
Clean the unit with lightly dampened cloth and ordinary disinfectants. Do not
use excessive liquid.
Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the TranStar® Series Stretcher.
Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in this unit.
Spray Washing (Not Applicable to Electric Stretcher)
CAUTION:
Do not directly spray the hydraulic cylinders. Equipment damage could
occur.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed 25 psi (172 kPa) when spray washing. Equipment
damage could occur.
You can spray wash the stretcher as often as desired. Use a
maximum
nozzle
pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa) at 6" (152 mm). Spray wash comprised of water
only should not exceed a temperature of 180°F (82°C). Spray wash comprised
of detergent/solvents (
no
bleach
) should not exceed a temperature of 120°F
(50°C). Prepare any exposed or chipped steel parts or oxidized areas, and coat
with paint after washing.
Cleaning Hard to Clean Spots
To remove difficult spots or stains, use standard household cleaners and a soft
bristle brush. To loosen heavy, dried-on soil or excreta, you may first need to
saturate the spot.
