SECTION 4—SAFETY INSPECTION/TROUBLESHOOTING
The rubber door seal gasket should remain clean and free of debris.
Use a working solution of a commercially available heavy duty cleaner such as Invacare ʹ s Heavy Duty
Cleaner and a sponge to thoroughly wipe the entire length of the rubber seal, making sure to remove all traces of soap scum and other debris.
Use a commercially available cleaner such as Invacare ʹ s Heavy Duty Cleaner to thoroughly spray the exposed surfaces, including the openings of the tub jets and tub suction fitting.
Use a long handled soft brush or similar product to wipe down all surfaces and allow the heavy duty cleaner to remain in contact with the exposed surfaces for approximately ten minutes.
Rinse off surfaces using the shower wand, adjusted to spray position.
Spray a commercially available cleaner (full strength) for the intended application on all surfaces to be cleaned.
Allow the cleaner to remain in contact with surfaces for at least five minutes to as long as 12 hours.
Rinse off surfaces using the shower wand, adjusted to the spray position.
Use the cleaner according to the manufacturer ʹ s instructions.
In addition to disinfecting your tub after every use, you will need to do the heavy duty
“Shock Treatment” approximately once every 80 ‐ 150 baths.
29
SECTION 4—SAFETY INSPECTION/TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
The disinfectant dispensing system has been factory tested and calibrated for use with Invacare disinfectant. The use of any disinfectant with a dilution ratio (½ oz. per gallon) or viscosity level different than that of Invacare disinfectant will result in an improper mixture of disinfectant and water. This may cause your system to be improperly disinfected - or in some instances, not disinfected at all. If using any disinfectant with a dilution ratio or viscosity level different than that of Invacare disinfectant or if switching from one type of disinfectant to another type, the disinfectant flowmeter must be calibrated
before performing this procedure. Refer to Calibrating the Disinfectant Flow Meter on page 31.
ALWAYS wear rubber gloves, an apron and face shield protection during disinfecting, cleaning and rinsing procedures. In case of eye or skin contact, follow procedures on disinfectant container.
CAUTION
NEVER use abrasive cleaners like scouring powder or liquid cleaners containing pumice stone. The use of these types of cleaners will make the gel-coat finish of your tub scratched and dull. NEVER use cleaners containing iodine, bromine, Betadine or methylene blue. The use of these types of cleaners will cause the tub to stain. Never use cleaners containing bleach. Use of these types of cleaners will dry out the rubber seals and gaskets and the tub will not function properly.
Before starting the whirlpool pump, the water level must be completely above the whirlpool jets.
Otherwise damage to the motor/pump will result.
In addition to disinfecting your tub after every use, you will need to perform this procedure approximately once every 80 ‐ 150 baths.
