SECTION 4—MAINTENANCE
Part No 1150695 31 Recessed Side Entry Bath Tubs
Heavy Duty Cleaning Procedure
ƽ 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 32.
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.
