7.2 Inspection and Cleaning
Clean the Voyager with a soft dry cloth, or a soft
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of solvent that may
damage the finish.
To ensure a better rolling surface for the trolley
wheels, clean the inside of the track every 4
months. To do so, insert a damp cloth in the
opening and slide it from one end of the track to
the other.
7.3 Strap Inspection
This equipment is built with a strap that can
withstand a load of 1364 kg (3000 lbs.)
Nonetheless, if this strap is damaged or shows
signs of wear, the acceptable load on the strap
before rupture can drop rapidly and present a
danger for the patient or caregiver.
BHM Medical recommends thoroughly inspecting
the strap every 2 months as follows:
1.
