7. maintenance and storage
7.1. Cleaning the body support
Clean the body support regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
The cleaning interval depends on the ambient conditions. Under very damp conditions, you can use a suitable
cleaning product for stainless steel.
7.2. storing the body support
Hook the thigh supports over the arms of the body support to hold the
arms closed and keep the thigh supports out of the way.
The body support should preferably be stored in a dry place.

8.2. annual inspection
■
The body support must be inspected at least once a year.
■
The inspection may only be carried out by Handi-Move or a technician approved by Handi-Move.
■
After the inspection, a report will be prepared documenting the tests that were carried out and the parts that
were replaced.
9. troubleshooting
■
The cup is worn and must be replaced.
• The cup is secured to the body support arm with a pop-rivet and Loctite adhesive (n° 638). In the unlikely
event that a cup must be replaced, you can drill out the rivet and twist the cup loose. A certain amount of
force will be necessary to break the glue bond.
• The tube must be cleaned and prepared for the replacement cup. There are two types of cup (left and right),
so be sure to order the right type. Apply the Loctite adhesive, fit the new cup, and secure it with a pop-
rivet.
• The cups must be attached to the body support arms at the correct angle. To check this angle, press the
arms of the body support together so that the bottom edges of the cups touch, with the outer corners of the
cups forming an angle of 75° to the horizontal.
