to clean the hoist, lifting strap and carabiner. The hoist can be cleaned with non-abrasive
cleaners.
Never use acids, alkaline or solvents for cleaning the hoist. Dry the hoist carefully after
cleaning.
The hoist, hand control and mounting parts can be damaged if the hoist is cleaned any other
way than stated above.
The hoist must be wiped with a moistened, firmly wrung cloth with ordinary household
disinfectants. Only use disinfection detergents approved by the facility.
