3. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
General Cleaning:
To get rid of any dust or marks on the surface the Faux Leather MUST be wiped DAILY
with a moist soft cotton cloth. Visible and loose dirt can be picked up with a vacuum
cleaner (Do not use a brush type vacuum) Use a soapy cotton cloth and gently rub
stains with circular movements.
For more stubborn marks a dilute bleach solution can be used 5% Bleach to 95% Water.
Stain Removal:
Blot excess liquid as quickly as possible with a clean 100% cotton white absorbent cloth
or sponge. If necessary use clean warm water. Clean the entire area where the spot
occurred on the cushion, arm etc. Water may dissolve dirt particles and make cleaning
easier. Spills that are still moist are the easiest to remove. Leave to air dry naturally, do
not use a hair dryer etc to speed up the drying.
Coffee, tea etc spills: Use an absorbent white cloth or piece of paper. DO NOT RUB.
Allow the stain to be absorbed and removed from the material surface. Then rub gently
with white tissue paper in circular movements to remove any remaining dampness and
residue.
Ink, Ball point pen, Denim, hard stains: Rub the stain by means of gentle circular
movements with tissue dampened with 96°alcohol and water (1:1) After this rub the
surface with gentle circular movement with tissue paper to dry it.
Butter, oil, grease stains: Wipe excess butter, oil or grease off the surface with a clean
100% Cotton white dry cloth. Use a soapy cotton cloth and gently rub the stain with
circular movements. Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the area and dry the surface.
Chewing gum: Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and apply on the chewing gum. Wait
several minutes, lift the ice bag and remove the chewing gum.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS, SADDLE SOAP, CLEANING SOLVENTS, FURNITURE POLISH,
OILS, VARNISH, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR AMMONIA IN WATER.
WARNING!
Disconnect the couch from the mains power supply prior to carrying out any cleaning
or decontaminating.
DO NOT SATURATE PRODUCT
IF PRODUCT GETS SATURATED DURING CLEANING, THIS COULD ACCELERATE
CORROSION, REDUCING PRODUCTS LENGTH OF SERVICE.

DOC No. 03-007-UM ISSUE 2
Frequency of routine couch cleaning will depend on exact application.
1. Ensure the couch is in a suitable area for cleaning.
2. The couch must be OFF of the wheels.
3. Disconnect from mains power supply if electric model.
4. Control handsets can be wiped over using an alcohol wipe.
5. Prepare a solution from the guidelines detailed above.
6. DO NOT SATURATE PRODUCT –This should be a wipe down –not a soaking!
7. Start by cleaning the top surface of the couch, working down onto the frames below,
ensuring to not accidentally activate any of the release levers, or user interface parts.
8. Ensure the couch is dry before re-use.
9. Safely discard of cleaning materials.
10. Wash hands thoroughly.
If DECONTAMINATING the couch then repeat steps above using a dilute Hypochlorite &
warm water mixture (mixed at 10,000ppm) instead of warm water and soap.
It is crucial that any staining is treated as soon as possible but never later than 24
hours. Delays in cleaning will give stains time to react with the plasticiser in the faux
leather making it more and more difficult to remove.
Note: These are recommended or suggested methods of cleaning. The manufacturer is not
responsible for damage incurred while cleaning. Always try the cleaning method in a hidden area first
to see the results.
Remember if you are not sure contact you customer representative before proceeding.

DOC No. 03-007-UM ISSUE 2
Cleaning and Decontamination of Tilt Table Straps
It is not recommended that the straps are laundered on a regular or routine basis as this will eventually
compromise the integrity of the material and associated Velcro.
Tilt Table straps should be decontaminated when visibly soiled or if used on a patient known or suspected of
being infectious.
General Cleaning
The straps should be washed separately, as the Velcro will attract debris from other material which will
ultimately reduce its effectiveness.
The Velcro should be joined prior to washing.
Machine Wash: Launder on a short cool wash.
Hand Wash: Immerse in a solution of neutral detergent and water.
Disinfection
Thermal disinfection is preferable to chemical disinfection.
Thermal disinfection can be achieved by laundering at 71degrees for 3 minutes. Air Dry.
Chemical disinfection can be achieved following washing. Wipe equipment over using NaDCC 1,000 ppm av/chl.
Air Dry
After cleaning / disinfection the straps should be thoroughly inspected prior to patient use. If deterioration is
present or the Velcro fails to maintain integrity, the straps must be replaced.

DOC No. 03-007-UM ISSUE 2
4. MAINTENANCE
1. A visual inspection should be carried out daily prior to use.
2. Regular servicing should be carried out a minimum of every six months or more frequently if
the couch is in constant use.
3. Routine servicing or repair must only be performed by suitably qualified people.
4. Look for any visual signs of damage. Ensure all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are present and
fitted where expected. If loose (can be undone by hand), re- tighten using suitable tools –but
taking care to not over tighten as this could cause binding, juddering, identifiable by a likely
noise.
5. Upholstery fixings should be checked regularly and tightened if loose. DO NOT USE PRODUCT
IF ANY UPHOLSTERY FIXING SCREWS ARE MISSING!
6. Check hinge pins are secured correctly by the e clips. IF THESE ARE MISSING DO NOT USE
COUCH!
7. Check gas struts operate (MODELS ST7647 & ST7647DL) smoothly and correctly throughout all
ranges of movement. The upholstered section should lock once the release lever is no longer
operated.
8. Regularly check the power cable and leads on switch controls, looking for any cuts, abrasions
or any other deterioration that may have occurred and replace if necessary.
9. Ensure that the mains power supply plug is attached securely to the motor.
10. Check mains plug connections are tight and the correct fuse is fitted.
WARNING!
Disconnect the couch from the mains power supply prior to carrying out any
maintenance.
All electrical maintenance should be performed by a suitably qualified person.
BLUE or BROWN wires must not be connected to any earth terminal.
