LiteGait® Maintenance
Your LiteGait® has been specially designed to be durable and relatively maintenance free. The frame is constructed
from high strength steel, and has been painted with a special powder coat to resist rust and scratches.
Cleaning Harness
The iHarness wrap is made with cloth material that is impermeable and wipe able. The iHarness and the overhead
straps can be wiped with disinfection wash, per facility infection control procedures. Use of bleach is discouraged and
may effect the permeability of the harness material.
Laundering Harness
All harnesses and groin straps, including the iHarness, can be washed in hot water up to 80°C according to facility
infection control guidelines. Harnesses should be dried with low or no heat tumble dry. Use of bleach is discouraged
and may effect the permeability of the harness material.

Harness Storage
The harness has been made of a durable fabric to retain its shape and effectiveness through many uses and washings.
However, it is imperative that the harness be stored properly to prevent damage to the buckles. When not in use,
store the harness in a place or area that will prevent the harness from being stepped on or rolled over. The crushing
downward force of a wheelchair or cart rolling over the harness would damage the buckles, making the harness
ineffective and unsafe for further use.
