CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Inspect all components every three months and replace as needed.
EVERY THREE MONTHS
• Check and clean casters.
• Tighten bolts in each caster plate to ensure casters are secured tightly to frame.
• Check caster brakes.
• Check and clean legrest recline lever.
• Check recliner mechanism for operation in all positions, including Trendelenburg Position, with
assistant seated in recliner.
• Wooden armrest caps are finished in a water-based urethane. To clean, wipe with a mild surface
cleaner. Armrest caps should be disinfected with a bleach-based wipe.
• If optional side table and / or optional IV pole are installed, check all mounting screws for
tightness.
UPHOLSTERY MAINTENANCE AND STAIN REMOVAL
We recommend cleaning at least once a week to extend the lifespan of the upholstery. This
prevents dirt and other contaminants from building up and stains from becoming permanent. If
there is a spill, wipe off any excess right away with a dry cloth, making sure not to spread it all
over the surface.
• Clean the whole surface in circular motions using liquid hand soap (pH neutral) and water (1
part soap to 9 parts water). Wipe with a clean damp cloth to get rid of any excess soap.
• Repeat as needed and then let dry.
For Guardian, Patriot Plus, Renaissance and Savoy fabrics only
If there is any build-up that can’t be removed with soapy water, then use this as a last resort.
Mixture: 1 part isopropyl alcohol to 1 part water.
Info: Using alcohol on a regular basis can affect the properties of the product.
• Once a month, you can use a soft-bristle brush for a deeper cleaning.

Color Transfer
Certain clothing and accessory dyes (such as those used on denim jeans) may migrate to lighter
colors. This phenomenon is increased by humidity and temperature and is irreversible.
Check compatibility when using this product in combination with painted or varnished surfaces.
Disinfectants
In addition to cleaning, healthcare facilities maintain disinfecting regimens to reduce the spread
of infections. There is a wide variety of available biocides that include bleaches, peroxides and
quaternary ammonium products, among others. They should always be used at the recommended
dilution, never in concentrated form. To prolong the life of coated fabrics, the disinfectants should
be rinsed off after each use.
