7.2  Disinfecting/Cleaning Restraints

Ankle Restraint: Place buckled restraint in a mesh bag and launder in 

a washing machine using warm water, a disinfectant soap, and gentle 

agitation. Hang the restraint to dry. Do not put it in a dryer.
Chest and Lap Restraints: Disinfect and clean restraints as directed in 

the restraint users’ manual provided. Additional, free users’ manuals can 

be obtained from Ferno. See “Ferno Customer Relations” on page 2.

7.3  Disinfecting/Cleaning the Chair

To disinfect: Remove restraints and seat and back panels. Wipe all 

surfaces of the chair and panels with disinfectant. Follow the disinfectant 

manufacturer’s directions for application method and contact time.
To clean: Wash panels and all parts of the chair with warm water and 

a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water. Dry with a towel or allow to 

air-dry.

7.4  Cleaning Tracks and Belts

To ensure predictable belt performance, it is important to keep the track 

and belts free of oil, grease, dirt, and debris. 

1.  Hold the belts away from the track frame and remove any debris. 
2.  Clean both sides of the track frame, and both belts, with SD-20

 

All-Purpose Cleaner and a clean cloth. Follow instructions on the 

container.

3.  Dry track and belts thoroughly.

Note:

To order SD-20™ Cleaner in North America, contact the Spartan 

Chemical Company, Maumee, Ohio, USA at 1.800.537.8990 or visit

When using maintenance products, follow the manufacturers’ directions
