Introduction
Cleaning/Disinfecting
• Clean the EasyStand Bantam with a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water.
• Check the EasyStand at least weekly to ensure all nuts, bolts and adjustable parts are tightened securely, failure
to do so may result in parts falling off which may cause a choking hazard for children.
• Do not use bleach or any other bleach-based cleaners on the EasyStand.
• Disinfecting wipes are safe to use on metal and non-porous surfaces.
• Use a damp sponge with mild soap or a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant.
• Spot clean Neoprene with mild soap and water.
• Neoprene covers may be removed and hand washed with water. Air dry the covers. Always use care when
removing and replacing the covers.
• Do not dry clean any upholstery items.
• If the EasyStand is being used with one user, clean the EasyStand on a monthly basis or as needed.
• If the EasyStand is being used in a multiple user environment, the EasyStand should be cleaned after each use.
Urethane Coated Fabrics
(Dartex or generic equivalent)
• The recommended cleaning and disinfection instructions should be followed whenever possible to avoid damage
to the PU membrane which could lead to premature failure of the cover.
• For superficial dirt, use a disposable wipe and a warm solution of neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Disinfect using a 0.1% sodium hypochlorite solution (1000ppm chlorine), stronger bleach solutions not
recommended.
• Thoroughly rinse any remaining cleaning solution with water and dry fabric before re-use or storage.
• Do not iron.
Hydraulic Actuator Maintenance
• An initial break-in period of approximately 50-100 full cycles is normal for the hydraulic unit. You may experience
a squeaking or a less-than-smooth forward stroke. The very close fit of its mating parts gives each actuator
its own break-in “feel” and signature sound.
• If the actuator is leaking oil, call a local EasyStand supplier for a replacement. The serial number on the EasyStand
will be needed.
• Do not exert excessive force on the actuator handle or use the actuator handle to move the EasyStand around.
This may cause damage to the actuator handle and/or the actuator mechanism and will void any warranty.
• User maintenance is not required or recommended on the hydraulic actuator. Never apply lubricant, household
oil, grease, or a similar product to any part of the unit. Some compounds may react with the seals used in the
manufacture of this product. This may damage the unit and will void any warranty.
• Do not exceed the rated weight limit.
• If the EasyStand was shipped and exposed to a temperature of less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, you must allow
the hydraulic unit to warm to room temperature before use. Failure to follow this step could damage the unit and
render it inoperable.
• Once a standing position is reached, the actuator may settle back one stroke, this is normal.
• It is not always necessary to push the actuator handle all the way back to lower the seat. If difficult to lower the
seat, try pushing the handle back in different positions.
• If the unit is in the standing position and unoccupied, it is necessary to apply pressure to the seat of the unit while
pushing the actuator handle back.
Purging The Hydraulic Actuator
The hydraulic actuator on the EasyStand has a high probability of getting air trapped in the internal workings of the
unit. This is usually caused by in-transit handling and is quite normal. Please follow the simple steps below, as manual
hydraulic systems may never operate properly unless the entrapped air is correctly purged. The unit must be at room
temperature for this procedure.
1. Pump the handle until the full extension is reached.
2. Continue pumping the handle slowly for an additional 10 strokes. This will properly purge the system.
