GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF CHAIRS
WARNING: Never clean or maintain your chair with an occupant in the chair.
WARNING
:
Before cleaning or disinfecting, always unplug the chair from the wall
outlet.
DO NOT use table as a seat.
CAUTION
:
Never lubricate the Trendelenburg mechanism; doing so may cause the
Trendelenburg mechanism to fail. Note: this mechanism is particularly prone to
damage due to power washing.
CAUTION
:
Avoid liquid ingress into all electronic components.
CAUTION
:
Never clean the chair in a wash tunnel, with a high-pressure cleaner, or
spray liquids on the electronics. Do not pressure wash chair or electronic components.
Regular and careful cleaning of the upholstery with water and a mild soap can prevent hardening
and embrittlement of the upholstered parts from such problems as body perspiration, skin oils,
hair spray, hand creams and similar things that may affect the upholstery. It is not necessary or
recommended that moving parts of the chairs be lubricated. Keeping the chair clean is the main
maintenance requirement. Each facility should check their chairs and set their own maintenance
schedule.
It is recommended that the underside of the chairs be checked periodically for waste materials
that have fallen under the chair. For this purpose, use the quick-release seat feature for removal
of the waste. It is also recommended that the thumb screws on the quick-release seat be
periodically checked to make sure they are tight.
Check that the hinge fasteners, latch mount and release mount fasteners are secure on the swing
arm chairs. The top of each latch mount has plastic buttons that are designed wear points. Check
the buttons and replace when worn to prevent damage to vinyl covers. These checks should be
done monthly, and then tailor to your findings. (See included schematics and parts listing to
identify these components).
If a part becomes worn or broken, see the sections regarding service and warranty for
information.
