1.0 Intended Use
The hoist is intended only for hoisting and transferring of a person. Mackworth will not be
responsible for any damage caused by the misuse, neglect or purposeful destruction of the
hoist, and/or its associated components.
2.0 Maintenance
•Pre Use Check: Check for any visible damage before using (User)
•Monthly Check: Check for any visible damage and check that the lifting tape moves
freely upon pressing the button and thee hoist unit freely among the full length of the
track (User)
•6 Month Check: A full service check on the unit based on the requirements held
within the manual (Authorised Engineer)
3.0 General Cleaning
The exterior of the TX600 can be cleaned using a damp soapy cloth for general cleaning
duties. Please ensure the cloth is damp and not wet. Ensure the exterior of the device is dry
after cleaning. Dry using a clean dry cloth.
•Handset - dry cloth wipe only
•Lift tape - dry cloth wipe only
•Carry bar - damp cloth wipe
Care should always be taken when cleaning around electrical components to
reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the hoist.
Cleaning of the TX600 hoist unit should be completed on each engineer visit. This should be
a general clean and wipe. The handset, lift tape and carry bar should be cleaned every month
if it is being used by the same person. If it is multiple person use then it needs to be cleaned
after each use.
3.1 Disinfecting (if necessary)
Should the TX600 require a more thorough clean, the use of the Actichlor™ disinfectant
product (which is widely available in tablet form and used throughout the health care
industry) is recommended.

CONTENTS
Follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions for the use of the cleaning product
before use to ensure safe use for the operator and the patient.
Ensure the cloth is damp before the cleaning process. DO NOT use a wet cloth
over electrical systems.
Application is through a clean damp cloth applied to wipe the device down. Use in the
following dilutions to ensure an effective clean:
•Actichlor™ dissolvable chlorine tablets provide a concentration of 1000 ppm of
available chlorine (0.1%) per 1 tablet
•1 tablet (1.7g formed tablet (x1)) will create a virucidal solution, diluted in 1 litre of
water to provide effective means to clean a “dirty” device. This is also ideal for use
after an outbreak of the Norovirus/winter vomiting and can be used as a precaution
against C.Diff. It is effective against viruses, bacteria, spores, yeasts and moulds.
•The contact time against the outer components of the device should be for 5 minutes
to prevent any virucidal infections without a degradation to the functionality of the
device. 5 minutes is a recommended contact time. The device can withstand a longer
contact period but the 5 minute recommendation as a minimum must be followed to
provide an effective cleaning regime.
Blood spills should be dealt with by an increased concentration of the solution – please refer
to the instructions on the manufacturers product labelling.
