Chapter 1 - General Information
Introduction
An SSCI Case Cart is ideal for keeping all the supplies needed
for individual procedures close at hand. Simply load it with
sterile instruments, surgical packs, surgical drapes, sutures, and
other supplies and wheel it to the surgical suite. When the
procedure is complete, all items delivered to the surgical suite
within the Case Cart are to be repackaged inside the Case Cart
for return to the sterile processing department. Then, after
washing, quickly and easily restock the Case Cart with sterile
instruments, surgical packs, surgical drapes, sutures, and other
supplies for the next surgical procedure or emergency.
You will appreciate the exceptional quality of SSCI’s stainless
steel Case Carts. We start with heavy-gauge, Type 304 stainless
steel, formed, heli-arc welded, and then polished to a smooth,
even finish. We then incorporate a host of construction features
for industrial-strength durability and exceptionally easy care.
SSCI Tote-Al Case Carts can be designed and sized with couplers
and signage compatible with all cart transfer and lift systems.

Shelf Installation
SSCI Case Carts are shipped fully assembled except for
optional shelves which must be installed on-site. If you have
problems or require additional assistance, please feel free to
call SSCI Customer Service at (800) 323-7366.
CAUTION: Unpacking the case cart is not difficult.
The cart is heavy, however, and handling it can be
awkward for one person. We recommend that
unpacking be done by at least two people.
If the shipping container appears damaged in any way, contact
the shipping company immediately. Save all damaged packing
materials to assist in proving liability for damage.
Carefully inspect your case cart while you unpack it. If any
damage is noted, or if parts appear to be missing, call SSCI
Customer Service at (800) 323-7366.
Wire, solid, and perforated shelves are all installed in the same
way. There are differences, however, in the installation
procedures for adjustable and roll-out shelves.
Adjustable Shelves
Observe the shelf (Figure 10) and notice that on the front and
rear shelf rods, the left end is straight and the right end is bent
down at a 90° angle. Also note that the rear of the shelf is
flanged up (to keep items from falling off when the shelf is
moved), and the front is flanged down. Notice also, the vertical
shelf bracket mounted to each inside corner of the cart (Figure 11).
A series of oblong holes in the vertical brackets are spaced about
three inches apart. The ends of the shelf rods fit into these holes.
To install adjustable shelves:
1. Open the case cart door.
2. Put the shelf into the cabinet (flanged-up side to the
rear) with the right side tilted up at about a 45° angle.
3. Place the straight (left) rod ends into the holes in the left
front and rear vertical brackets at the desired level.

Opening, Latching,

Opening the Door
To open the door, push the knob handle to the left (Figure 13)
and swing the door open.
Latching the Door in the Full-open Position
The door can be opened a full 270° to lie flat against the side of
the cart and can be latched in that position for greater convenience
when loading or cleaning. When latched, the knob handle engages
either a catch on the side of the cart (Figure 14) or the recessed
handle (depending on case cart model) and is held in the full-open
position.
Unlatching the Door from the Full-open Position
Press in on the latch tongue (Figure 14) and pull the door free
of the catch (or recessed handle).
Closing the Door
The door can be pushed closed and will lock. It may be easier,
however, to press the knob handle to the left and then push the
door closed.

Shelves
The following information is valid for wire, solid, and

Roll-out shelves have a built-in lock to hold them securely in
place so that they do not roll out of the cabinet when not
intended. A two-position pivot lock located on the front of the
shelf on the right side holds the shelves in place, or releases
them when required. Pivot the lock up to release the shelf
(Figure 15), or down to lock it (Figure 16).

Shelves
Roll-out shelves ride on polyethylene rollers and, when rolled
out, extend 14.75 in. past the cart’s face to a positive stop
preventing accidental removal. The rear edge of each shelf is
flanged up to prevent stored items from falling off the back as the
shelf is rolled out.
Before attempting to roll the shelf out, pivot the shelf lock upward
to the release position (Figure 15). After rolling the shelf back into
the cabinet, be sure to pivot the shelf lock down to the lock
position (Figure 16).
It will occasionally be necessary to remove a roll-out shelf for
cleaning, height adjustment, etc.
Removal

Adjustment points are provided in the case cart to allow you to
adjust the shelves up and down to suite your needs. Shelf
positions are spaced about 3 in. apart, and the number of
positions varies with the height of the cabinet. Both adjustable
and roll-out shelves can be adjusted for height.
Observe the shelf (Figure 18) and notice that on the front and
rear shelf rods, one end is straight and the opposite end is bent
down at a 90° angle. Notice also, the vertical shelf bracket in
each inside corner of the cart (Figure 19). A series of oblong
holes in the vertical brackets are spaced about three inches
apart. The ends of the shelf rods fit into these holes.

Two of the four casters on each case cart are equipped with
swivel locks to insure that the case cart runs straight without
turning. The casters with swivel locks are located on diagonally
opposite corners of the cart (Figure 21).
Locking the Swivel
To lock the swivel and prevent the caster from
turning, place the swivel lock (Figure 22) in the
straight out position. In this position, the end of
the lock enters a notch in the swivel body and
prevents it from turning.

Care of Wheel/Caster
Assemblies
Overview
Inspection
The wheel/caster assemblies on the case carts were selected by
SSCI for high durability and long life. Two of the casters on
each transport cage are equipped with swivel locks. Users are
responsible for the proper operation, care, and maintenance of
their equipment. Equipment can become damaged and unsafe if
abused or subjected to improper demands. If your equipment is
regularly maintained and never abused, you will get the
maximum safety and service from your casters.
Never overload the case cart.
Do not drop heavy loads on the case cart.
Do not use the transport cart at high speeds.
The above conditions can create severe impact and shock loads
on your case cart and may result in caster, wheel, or equipment
failure.
Equipment Frames and Fasteners
Periodically examine the case cart and check the following:
Look for broken welds on the case cart.
Tighten any loose nuts and bolts.
Look for distortion of the cart caused by overload and
impacts. Distorted carts can lead to wheel failure by
placing disproportionate loads on one or two casters.
Make sure the casters are not bent and the mounting
bolts are securely fastened.
Casters
Check the swivel assembly on each caster for excessive play
due to wear. If the swivel is loose, replace the caster. If the
swivel does not turn freely, check for corrosion or dirt binding
the raceways. Make sure the swivel nut and wheel axle nuts are
tight. If a caster is not operating properly, disassemble, clean,
and lubricate it. If this does not fix the problem, replace the
assembly (refer to Caster on Page 23).
Wheels
Check each wheel for excessive or uneven tread wear, or badly
worn or “chunked out” rubber tires. Such conditions can cause
erratic steering, bumping, load shifting, and damage to floors.
If a wheel binds and no longer rolls freely, or if flat spots
appear on the tire, carefully inspect the wheel/caster assembly
for damage or accumulated foreign matter (dirt, string, animal
hair, etc.). If necessary, replace the assembly (refer to Caster on
Page 23).
30
SSCI - Suburban Surgical Company, Inc.
Page 37
Owner’s Manual - Tote-Al Case Carts - Single-door Models
Swivel Locks
Check swivel locks for proper operation. Apply lock one at a
time and attempt to move the equipment to make sure that each
lock is not slipping or loose.
If locks slip due to worn or damaged wheels, replace the
wheels immediately and retest the brakes. If the lock
mechanism itself is not operating properly, repair or replace it.
Before returning the equipment to use, always retest the locks.
Lubrication
Wheel Bearing
Grease Fitting
Figure 28. Wheel/Caster Assembly
Grease Fittings
Caster and wheel lubrication is essential. The lubrication
schedule depends on your specific application. Normal
conditions warrant lubrication every six months, however, for
wet or corrosive applications, monthly lubrication may be
necessary.
Swivel Bearing
Grease Fitting
Lubrication may also be required after each
piece of equipment is washed. Special hightemperature, water-resistant lubricants may be
used for these applications. If necessary, SSCI
can provide stainless steel casters that require
less maintenance.
The wheel/caster assemblies have two grease
fittings (Figure 28), one for the wheel and one
for the swivel. Use enough grease to fill the
bearing, but not so much that it oozes out of the
grease seal. After applying the grease, turn the
wheel or swivel several times in both directions
to distribute the grease evenly.
Recommended
Lubricants
Power Towed
Operation
Form No. 702730 Rev. A November, 2006 31
SSCI recommends that you use either of the following greases
when lubricating your case cart casters:
Citgo EP-1
Exxon Beacon EP 1
Based on available information, these products are not
expected to produce adverse effects on health when used for
the intended application and the recommendations provided in
the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are followed.
MSDS’s are available via the Internet.
Power drawn equipment such as in a tow line or mechanically
moved by conveyor will require casters, wheels, and bearings
specifically designed for this use. Please consult the factory for
caster recommendations of each specific towing or power
drawn equipment application.
