5. Maintenance and Cleaning
The FreeStep is virtually maintenance free. By following the instructions below at suggested
time intervals, or as often as necessary, the system will remain in "like new" condition.
1. As required, hand-wash all components of the harness on a regular basis with a mild
detergent solution, such as Parker Laboratories Protex Disinfectant or any one-step
disinfectant that does not contain bleach.
2. Inspect all components of the harness on a regular basis to ensure safety. Replace the
harness at the first sign of wear.
