Do not remove the fitted plug, or use a rewireable plug or adapter. Do not allow the power supply cord to trail on the floor where it may cause a trip hazard. Ensure, during couch use, no obstacles are in its path. Make sure the power supply cord does not become entangled with moving parts of the couch.

Caution Before the first use, or if the couch has been unused for more than three months, connect the couch to the electricity supply for at least 24 hours to allow the backup battery to recharge fully. Failure to do this may reduce the life of the battery. To ensure the battery is kept fully charged and prevent damage to the battery, the couch should be connected to the electricity supply at all times during normal use. The battery is intended for occasional short term use. Its life will be reduced if it is used to power the couch for long periods. To maintain best performance, the backup battery should be replaced every four years by an approved service agent.

Recharging the battery backup

To recharge the battery, connect the couch to the electricity supply. Allow at least twelve hours to recharge the battery when it is completely discharged.

Caution Do NOT insert hands or feet into the mechanism as this could result in serious injury!

5. Product Care WARNING Do not use Alkalis or other organic solvents for routine cleaning. Replace torn or damaged vinyl immediately. Always cover vinyl with fresh paper or sheet between patients. If contamination is known or suspected always decontaminate couch before use. Do not saturate hinge pin location and it is essential to ensure that they are dry before re-use. Disconnect any mains supply. Do not allow the mains plug or power supply cord to get wet. Caution Do not use Phenol-based solutions or abrasive compounds or pads during the decontamination process as these will damage the surface coating. Avoid immersing electrical parts in water during the cleaning process.

Cleaning / Decontamination Frequency of routine couch cleaning will depend on exact application, local policy and contamination status.

To Clean

Clean all exposed surfaces and remove any organic debris by wiping with a cloth moistened with a simple (neutral) detergent and water.

Chemical Disinfection We recommend a chlorine-releasing agent, such as sodium hypochlorite, at a strength of 1,000ppm available chlorine (this may vary from 250ppm to 10,000ppm depending on local policy and contamination status). Use low strength solution for upholstery. Wipe all cleaned surfaces with the solution, then wipe with a cloth moistened with water and dry thoroughly. Alcohol based disinfectants (maximum strength 70%) may be used as an alternative. Ensure the product is dry before storage. If an alternative disinfectant is selected from the wide variety available we recommend that suitability for use is confirmed with the chemical supplier prior to use.
