Care and Maintenance
Lift Cleaning and Care
Note: It is recommended that your Maxi 500
and its accessories are cleaned and
disinfected between each patient use, or
daily as a minimum. If the lift and equipment
needs cleaning, or is suspected of being
contaminated, follow the cleaning and
disinfection procedures recommended
below, before re-using the equipment.
For cleaning your lift and its accessories wipe
down with a damp cloth using warm water to
ZKLFK D GLVLQIHFWDQW௘௘FOHDQHU KDV EHHQ DGGHG
HJ³$UMR´GLVLQIHFWDQW௘௘FOHDQHURUHTXLYDOHQW
CAUTION: Never use a wet cloth on the
control box, the battery support or the battery
pack as it may cause corrosion on electrical
components.
If a hot air dryer is used to dry the lift, the
temperature must not exceed 80°C (176°F.)
Do not use petroleum based solvents or
similar, as this may damage plastic parts.
When cleaning, pay special attention to parts
that are most likely to be touched such as:
• the handset;
• the control box;
• the battery pack;
• the lift handle;
• the spreader bar.
