DO I NEED TO STORE THE SBD50 WHEN I’M NOT USING IT? 

 

Yes. When not in use, it’s recommended to clean the SBD50 properly fold the top cover and drying 
floor, and store it in a clean area free from rodents and objects that could damage it. 

 
8.26.

 

WHAT ARE THE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SBD50? 

 

After using, clean the drying floor and inspect it for cuts or holes. If there are holes or cuts, patch 
them using the repair tape. Put the SBD50 in its carrying bag and store it out of the reach of rodents, 
along with its accessories. Avoid dragging the SBD50 drying floor on rough surfaces.  

 

8.27.

 

WHAT IS THE USEFUL LIFE SPAN OF THE SBD50? 

 

The SBD50 comes with a 1-year warranty for normal wear and tear. However, the SBD50 must be 
used and taken care of according to the instructions in the manual to last several useful years.
