CAUTION
In order to maintain your product’s quality and ensure the life of your uphol-
stery, we have tested several preventative steps you can take to protect the
upholstery fabric on your table and accessories.
Here are a few suggestions in caring for your upholstery fabric:
• DO NOT store your table or upholstery fabric-covered accessories in tem-
peratures below 32°F/0°C or above 95°F/35°C. Extreme hot and cold tem-
peratures will damage the upholstery fabric. Some potential results are
cold-cracking, brittleness and upholstery fabric stretching. And, always
keep your table away from heaters, electrical appliances and direct sunlight.
• We recommend cleaning your upholstery fabric to protect it against oil
stains and dirt which will cause cracking and permanent stains over
time. Clean your upholstered items when needed using a mild solution
of 4:1 diluted non-alcohol cleaner such as Formula 409 ® , Fantastik ® , Green
Windex ® or some other non-abrasive cleaner. For disinfecting purposes you
may use Protex, MadaCide, Accell TB, Virox ® (Canada) or a diluted 1/100
bleach solution. Dry the table immediately after cleaning to remove excess
cleaning solution. Using citrus based cleaners or other strong cleaners, such
as alcohol, acetone, higher concentrations of bleach or other products that
contain high concentrations of these substances, can shorten the life of your
fabric, or discolor it. Note: Damage caused by cleaners will not be covered
under the warranty.
• Use both ends of the table evenly. Occasionally switch the face rest from
one end of the table to the other to reduce uneven wear.
• Protect your table and accessories with sheets and fleeces. We offer both
fitted sheets and thick fleeces that protect your upholstery fabric against oil
stains while offering comfortable softness to your clients. You can also pre-
serve your face rest and bolsters with covers and fleeces.
• Use only a mild solution of 4:1 diluted non-alcohol cleaner such as 409 ® ,
Fantastik ® or some other non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the metal
and wooden surfaces. Apply with a damp (not wet) lint-free cloth. Be sure
excess liquid does not drip onto, or into, any of the electrical controls or
mechanisms. Be sure that the unit is unplugged before cleaning these areas.
Wipe these areas dry carefully with a lint free cloth.
• Electronic and or manual lift mechanisms require no general maintenance
or lubrication. Hydraulic units may require yearly maintenance.
• If the table will be out of use for an extended period of time, the power
cord should be unplugged from the receptacle. To prevent inadvertent dam-
age to the plug or cord, the cable should be coiled and secured with a wire
tie or rubber band.
• The wooden cabinetry of the equipment can be polished with any polish
approved for wooden surfaces. Spray, or pour the polish onto a soft cloth
and be careful not to get it onto other surfaces.
• It is important to visually inspect your table on a quarterly basis to ensure
all components are working properly and safely. Be sure to tighten all bolts
to be sure they are secure. Over time they may work their way loose, lead-
ing to an unsafe condition.
• The face rest and table extender should be removed when not in use.
These items should be stored in a cool, dry place.
