9. Maintenance and Transport
This chapter provides information on:
• "System inspection" (page 55 )
• "System cleaning" (page 56 )
• "Transport, shipping and storage" (page 57 )
• "Disposal" (page 57 )
To ensure continued safe and reliable operation of the platform, battery, and charger, preventive maintenance
and a comprehensive technical inspection is required periodically. Service and preventive maintenance should
be performed every two years or upon reaching 60
hours of runtime, whichever occurs first. Contact your
sales or service representative for information on preventive maintenance pricing and complete service pack -
ages available in your area.
System inspection
The system should be ready for deployment at all times. The platform conducts a self-test each time it is turned
on. In addition, include system checks in your Emergency Medical Service (EMS) rig check or hospital proce
-
dures. See Appendix A, “System Checklist,” on page 6 1 .
The system has no user-serviceable parts. Periodically inspect the system. All repairs or service must be per -
formed by qualified service personnel. Contact a ZOLL representative for assistance.
Inspecting the platform
To inspect the platform:
1. Inspect the platform for physical damage, including cracks, tears, and missing or broken pieces.
2. Remove the battery from the platform.
3. Check the battery compartment. Remove any debris.
4. Check the vent on each side.
5. Check the guard ports on each side.
Inspecting the battery
Inspect the battery, including the connector, for physical damage. If the battery is damaged, do not attempt to
place it into the platform or battery charger. This can cause damage to the internal connector of the platform
or battery charger.
Caution. Do not use a cracked battery. Do not strike or throw the battery. Do not use the battery to strike
another object. Mishandling the battery may lead to physical damage and present a fire or shock hazard that
could result in a burn or other related injury.
Inspecting the battery charger
To inspect the battery charger:
1. Inspect the battery charger for physical damage.
2. Check the battery compartment and vents on the bottom and back. Remove any debris.
