7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
Re.Formance working chairs are made to require no maintenance du­ring their life. Thus there are no specific adjustments to be carried out at any time.
If the working chair is not used for some time, it is recommended to cover it in order to protect it against dust.
Warning It is recommended to have any technical adjustment as well as any repair of the working chair carried out by specialized mainte­nance technicians.
For a better and longer life of the equipment, it is necessary to perform an accurate, methodical and periodical general cleaning of the wor­king chair. It is recommended to proceed as follows.
Caution The use of disinfectants or detergents with a strong alcoholic con­tent on the plastic components of the apparatus may damage the surface of the product. It is recommended to avoid the use of any dissolvent, strong detergent or abrasive agent, even to remove “tenacious” stains.
Upholsteries
The machined working chair upholstery has to be cleaned using a non-alcoholic disinfectant and a soft cloth to avoid any surface scrat­ching and to guarantee a better elasticity and smoothness of the surface.
Plastic or metallic parts The polyurethane parts, as well as the metal parts (painted and not painted) have to be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in water and soap.
