Sling Laundering Instructions
EZ Way slings are designed and manufactured to
the highest possible performance specifications.
They are constructed of high quality, durable,
100% synthetic fabrics and have been individually
inspected before shipping to ensure the safety of
the product. However, water washing temperature,
detergents and disinfectants, patient incontinence,
frequency of use, types and weights of patients, etc.,
all have an impact on the life expectancy of each
product. Because of these factors, the continued
integrity of the product is not guaranteed. The
institution or private user must therefore examine
the product to ensure its integrity before each use.
NOTE: EZ Way strongly recommends using a
laundry bag when washing the EZ Out sling.
EZ Way offers a 6-month warranty on slings and
recommends replacement after one year or if the
sling shows any sign of damage or wear, whichever
occurs first. All slings are washable and are capable
of bearing a 1,000 lb. weight load, but must only be
used to hold the amount of weight dictated by the
lift or stand capacity.
Users must accept full responsibility for checking
the condition of all slings and harnesses before each
and every use on a patient.
EZ Out Sling Laundering Instructions
1) Do not bleach.
2) To prevent stains from setting, rinse 5 min. in
80° – 100° F. water. Stains will set when temp. is
over 105° F.
3) Washing temp. 160° F. max.
4) RINSE THOROUGHLY in 100° F. water. If
high alkaline detergent (with pH greater than
11.0) is used, rinse twice.
5) Tumble dry, temp. 140°-180° F. max.
6) Snap the buckle together before washing and
drying. This will prevent any damage to the
plastic buckle.
7) If available, use a laundry bag to wash and dry the
sling.
Usage and Charging of the EZ Out
Battery
The EZ Out comes with two batteries and a charging
unit (Figure 16). Average charge time of a low
battery is approximately nine hours.
To check the battery status, initiate any motor
movement by pushing an Up or Down arrow button
on the hand control, and note the color of LED
indicator located next to the Emergency Stop
button.
LED is unlit: Battery is ready for operation.
LED flashes yellow: Battery is charged to around
20% and must be charged.
A beep is heard: Battery capacity is less than 20%,
but there is sufficient capacity for at least a double
stroke of the actuator. Battery must be charged
immediately.
To charge the battery, first plug in the EZ Out
charging unit. Insert the battery into the charger.
Note the color of the LED indicator on the charging
unit. To remove a battery from the EZ Out, grasp the
handle located at the top of the battery and pull up
and away from the lift (Figure 17).
