resident.
The device is not intended to come in contact with injured skin.
The caregiver is a person who is capable of reading and understanding the operating manual and is qualified to

water. If irritation occurs, consult a medical doctor. Always read and follow detergent supplier instructions.

battery charger in wet or damp areas due to a potential shock hazard. It is recommended that the EZ1000 battery
pack(s) are charged daily or whenever not in use. Batteries cannot be overcharged.

Initialization of the Columns and

For functions on the columns and the tilt actuator
to work correctly, an initialization should be carried
out the very first time the EZ1000 is used.
To begin the initialization, first check that the
emergency stop is not activated. Then follow the
below steps:
1. First press the DOWN button on the hand
control to lower the 2 columns to their lowest
position. When both columns are in their
lowest position, a faint “click” sound will be
heard from the control box.
2. Release the DOWN button for a few seconds.
3. Then once again press the DOWN button and
hold the button for three seconds.
4. Press the TILT BACK button on the hand
control to retract the actuator and tilt the
chair backwards to its rear-most position.
5. Visually check that the chair is tilted all
the way back and that the tilt actuator is
completely retracted. When the tilt actuator is
completely retracted and the chair has reached
its rear-most position, a faint “click” sound will
be heard from the control box.
6. Release the TILT BACK button for a few
seconds.
7. Then press the TILT BACK button again and
hold the button for three seconds.

• Clean the EZ1000 after each use with a mixed,
nonabrasive type of detergent according to your
detergent supplier instructions. NOTE: Do not
use solvent-based cleaning liquids, which can
damage or stain the surfaces.

matter adheres to columns, immediately
clean the columns before raising and
lowering the EZ1000.

in good condition and that all fasteners are in
place and functioning properly.

clean and that the locks and brakes are fully
functioning.

Cleaning the EZ1000
NOTE: The user/operator is responsible for
selecting the detergent and additives. Please
read the detergent supplier’s instruction
manual and find out whether the product is
suitable. Do not use solvent-based cleaning
liquids, which can damage or stain the PUR
and plastic surfaces (see Routine Maintenance
below).
Clean the EZ1000 after each use with a mixed,
nonabrasive type of detergent according to your
detergent supplier instructions. Remove the
optional bedpan and clean separately.

soap or lime deposits and feces to avoid spots/
stains. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Wipe
with cloth.

prevent dripping on the floor.
NOTE: If the lifting columns are exposed to
feces or other tough dirt during operation,
immediately clean the columns before raising
and lowering the EZ1000.
Routine Maintenance
The recommended frequency of these routine
maintenance procedures will depend on how
often the equipment is used. It is good practice
to establish these procedures and then adjust
the frequency as your conditions indicate. EZ
Way recommends a schedule is kept on file with
signatures of the individual(s) conducting the
inspections should questions arise at a later date.
