Maintenance - EasyStand Glider Owner's Manual

Maintenance

Cleaning/Disinfecting
• Clean the EasyStand Glider with a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water.
• Check the EasyStand at least weekly to ensure all nuts, bolts and adjustable parts are tightened securely, failure
to do so may result in parts falling off which may cause a choking hazard for children.
• Do not use bleach or any other bleach-based cleaners on the EasyStand.
• Disinfecting wipes are safe to use on metal and non-porous surfaces.
• Use a damp sponge with mild soap or a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant.
• Spot clean Neoprene with mild soap and water.
• Neoprene covers may be removed and hand washed with water. Air dry the covers. Always use care when
removing and replacing the covers.
• Do not dry clean any upholstery items.
• If the EasyStand is being used with one user, clean the EasyStand on a monthly basis or as needed
• If the EasyStand is being used in a multiple user environment, the EasyStand should be cleaned after each use.
Urethane Coated Fabrics
• The recommended cleaning and disinfection instructions should be followed whenever possible to avoid damage
to the PU membrane which could lead to premature failure of the cover.
• For superficial dirt, use a disposable wipe and a warm solution of neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Disinfect using a 0.1% sodium hypochlorite solution (1000ppmm chlorine), stronger bleach solutions not
recommended.
• Thoroughly rinse any remaining cleaning solution with water and dry fabric before re-use or storage.
• Do not iron.
Hydraulic Actuator Maintenance
• An initial break-in period of approximately 50-100 full cycles is normal for the hydraulic unit. The very close fit of
its mating parts gives each pump its own break-in "feel" and signature sound, signaled by a squeaking or a less-
than-smooth stroke.
• If the pump is leaking oil, call your local EasyStand Supplier for a replacement. The serial number on the
EasyStand will be needed.
• Do not exert excessive force on the pump handle or use the pump handle to move an EasyStand. This may cause
damage to the pump handle and/or the pump mechanism and will void any warranty.
• User maintenance is not required or recommended on the hydraulic pump. Never apply lubricant, household oil,
grease, or a similar product to any part of the unit. Some compounds may react with the seals used in the
manufacture of this product. This may damage the unit and will void any warranty.
• Do not exceed the rated weight limit.
• If the EasyStand was shipped and exposed to a temperature of less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the hydraulic unit
must warm to room temperature before use. Failure to follow this step could damage the unit and render it
inoperable.
• Once the standing position is reached, the pump may settle back one stroke, this is normal.
• It is not always necessary to push the pump handle all the way back to lower the seat. Try pushing the handle
back in different positions if it is difficult to lower the seat.
• If the unit is in the standing position and unoccupied, it is necessary to apply pressure to the seat of the unit while
pushing the pump handle back.
Purging The Hydraulic Actuator
The hydraulic pump on the EasyStand has a high probability of getting air trapped in the internal workings of the unit.
This is usually caused by in-transit handling and is quite normal. Please follow the simple steps below, as manual
hydraulic systems may never operate properly unless the entrapped air is correctly purged. The unit must be at room
temperature for this procedure.
1. Pump the handle until the full extension is reached.
2. Now continue pumping the handle slowly for an additional 10 strokes. This will properly purge the system.
