Shipping and storage
• Shipping and storage should happen according to the technical specifications in §7. Make
sure that the patient hoist is stored dry.
• Prevent cables from being crushed or bent with kinks.
• Disconnect the patient hoist from the socket.
• Provide sufficient covering or packaging to protect the patient hoist against rust and foreign
bodies. (e.g. salt water, sea air, sand, dust).
• Store all removed parts together in one place (or mark them if necessary) to avoid mixing up
with other products when re-assembling (e.g. the charger).
• Make sure no objects are stored on or against the patient hoist and its components to prevent
damage.

5.3.1 Plastic parts
Clean plastic parts of your patient hoist with commercial plastic cleaners. Read the specific
product information and only use a soft brush or soft sponge.
5.3.2 Coating
The high quality of the surface layer guarantees optimal protection against corrosion. If the outer
coat is damaged by scratching or in some other way, get your specialist dealer to repair the
affected surface.
When cleaning, only use warm water and normal household detergents and soft brushes and
cloths. Ensure that no wetness gets into the tubes.
5.3.3 Electronics casing
WARNING: Risk of injury - The emergency stop must be activated before maintenance
L
work, so that no unintentional adjustment movements can be made.
Wipe the control box, motor casing and manual controls down with a cloth moistened by a few
drops of a commercial domestic cleaner. Do not use abrasives or sharp-edged polishing
equipment like a metal scrubber or brush, as these can scratch the surface of the manual control
and destroy its water repelling property.
Regularly check the plug connectors for corrosion or damage, as these could affect the functional
integrity of the electronics.
The manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by insufficient maintenance.
5.4
Disinfection
