Cleaning The In∫X; Pressure-Washing The In∫X - Ferno Integrated Patient Transport & Loading System iNX User Manual

6.8 Cleaning the iN∫X
1. Remove the
accessories. Verify that all cords, cables, connectors,
etc. are connected.
2. Remove the battery. Cover the battery cable plug with
a bag. Tie the bag closed or use a rubber band to make
a watertight seal around the plug.
3. For battery care, see "Battery" on page 20 and the
Battery Care Important box at right.
4. Hand clean all surfaces of the iN∫X with warm water
and a mild detergent, or pressure-wash the iN∫X as
described below. Do not spray water directly into
ports, wire harnesses, cable connections, etc.
5. Rinse with warm, clear water. Dry the iN∫X with a towel
or allow it to air-dry.
6.9 Pressure-Washing the iN∫X
Use caution when using pressurized water, spray-wands and
equipment when cleaning the iN∫X. Wear all safety equipment
recommended by the pressure-sprayer manufacturer.
PREPARING TO PRESSURE-WASH
1. Raise or lower the iN∫X to the recommended transport
height. Then, use direct power (see "Direct Power
Modes" on page 42) to fold the loading-end legs
until the loading wheels are on the ground (Figure 56).
2. Turn the power switch OFF.
3. Engage the wheel locks.
4. Remove the battery cover and battery from the iN∫X
(see "Battery" on page 20).
5. Cover the end of the battery cable with a plastic bag,
and close the bag. Use a tie wrap or rubber band to
make the bag water-tight (Figure 56).
6. Put the battery cover in place.
PRESSURE-WASHING THE IN∫X
1. Set the nozzle pressure at or below 3000 psi (20,684
kPa). Ferno recommends you use a nozzle with a wide
angle of spray (25° or 40°). Keep the nozzle at least 18
inches (457 mm) away from the iN∫X at all times. Do
not spray directly into the control panel or wiring.
2. Spray the patient surface, legs, and wheels of the iN∫X.
3. Allow the iN∫X to sit idle to dry for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the battery cover, tie wrap or rubber band and
bag from the battery cable. Attach the battery and put
the cover in place.
5. Turn the power switch ON and raise or lower the iN∫X
to the desired height.
6. When fully dry, reattach the mattress, restraints, and
accessories.
