CHARGING, CONT.
NOTE!
It is particularly important to charge the battery in chairs with electric brakes, electric tilt mechanisms and
electric backs because these functions require a high battery capacity to be maintained. Guarantee these
functions by recharging the battery once a day. The battery may only be replaced by personnel authorised by
Mercado Medic AB. See assembly instructions, Battery replacement.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS ON YOUR CHAIR
There are no movements at all:
The battery might need to be charged. See the instructions on the previous page.
An internal error may have been detected by the system, which then shuts down one or all of the function
channels and switches on the warning light on the handheld controller. The system will be reset automatically
after 10 seconds. If the error has been resolved, then all channels will be unlocked and the warning light will be
switched off.
The button lock may be enabled. To enable or disable the button lock for a certain function, press and hold both
of the directional arrows on the relevant button for at least three seconds.
The electrical functions on the chair are slow:
The battery needs to be charged. See the instructions on the previous page.
If none of the above measures resolve the issue, servicing may be required. Please contact your technical
assistance centre. Alternatively, get in touch with Mercado Medic AB. You will find our contact details on the last
page of this manual.
EMERGENCY STOP
If, for whatever reason, the system does not interrupt a movement after the corresponding function button has
been released, the movement can be interrupted by pressing down any of the other buttons on the handheld
controller. If a fixed control unit is being used instead of a handheld controller, the same emergency stop
function can be initiated by pressing the button for movement in another direction.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• The chair should be wiped down and kept clean from dust and dirt.
• The chair should be washed using a disinfectant with PH 7–12 (concentrated), with the exception of the padding.
• Plush upholstery has to be washed with a foam wash;
1. Remove loose dirt, crumbs and the like.
2. Apply a thin layer of foam and rub the foam in evenly with a damp cloth.
3. Wipe with a clean and lightly dampened cloth.
4. Vacuum clean when dry.
• Artificial leather has to be washed with soapy water or alternatively wiped off with an alcohol solution, e.g. disinfectant.
• Leather upholstery requires a little extra maintenance;
- Spills must be wiped up immediately with a damp cloth, never use strong cleaning agents.
- Prevent upholstery from coming into contact with personal care products, such as make-up, hair gel, etc.
- Do not allow pets on leather furniture, their claws may scratch the leather.
- Avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight, it may fade the leather in the long run.
• Seats, backrests and other padded parts are not manufactured in sealed materials for functional reasons.
When reconditioning, padded parts should be replaced for hygienic reasons.
• The electric lifting mechanism should be checked regularly for dust, dirt and stability: Raise the seat to its highest
position. Clean with a cloth. Do not use any water or solvents. Then lubricate the cylinder using a thin layer of Teflon
or silicone-based grease.
• The user or their assistant should dust off the padded parts of the chair, and wipe and clean them in accordance with
the instructions above to the best of their ability and as needed. If this is not done satisfactorily, the chair will need to
be reconditioned in order to guarantee hygienic safety.
