Introduction

About this Manual

SSCI Contact
Information

SSCI’s Utility Table features a built-in drawer to help keep your
instruments and treatment supplies clean, organized, and easily

deep and features a friction latch to stay closed while the table is
being moved. Ball-bearing slides allow the drawer to open fully, yet
feature a positive stop to prevent the drawers from being removed
accidentally. A retaining rail around three sides of the top surface
helps keep supplies in place during transit. A lower shelf adds
storage space and enhances structural integrity.

Every attempt has been made to insure that the information in this

Care & Cleaning of Stainless Steel

Utility Table

Introduction

Cleaning & Cleansers

Stainless steel is steel alloyed with chromium to make it highly
resistant to stain, rust, and corrosion. Note: This does NOT mean
that stainless steel will never rust or corrode. Science has not yet
developed a steel which is completely stainless or corrosion
PROOF.

The type of stainless steel and finish selected by SSCI for this
product is the best available for the intended use.

The basic rule of thumb is to use the mildest cleaning procedure that
will do the job effectively. Always rinse thoroughly with clear water
and dry completely. Frequent cleaning will prolong the service life of
stainless steel equipment and will help maintain a bright, pleasing
appearance.

Ordinary deposits of waste and fluids can usually be removed with
soap and water. More stubborn deposits or tightly adhering debris
may require harder scrubbing and possibly the use of commercial
cleaning products acceptable for use on metal surfaces. When using
any cleaning agent, rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”
of the metal. For high luster finishes, clean soft cloths or pads should
be used. If especially rough cleaning is necessary, use “stainless
steel” wool, nylon, or plastic scrubbers. Test these scrubbers in an
inconspicuous area first to be sure they do not mar or scratch the
stainless steel finish.

Minor scale build-up and some hard water spotting may be
removed by washing with vinegar, followed by a neutralizing rinse
with clear water and a thorough drying with a soft cloth. For heavy
deposits of scale, 5% oxalic acid (use warm), 5-15% sulfamic acid,
or 5-10% phosphoric acid may be used. Always follow with a
neutralizing rinse of clean water and a thorough drying.

Deodorizing Agents,
Disinfectants, &
Sanitizers

Form No. 702757 July, 2007 5

The large selection of brands and combinations of chemicals
available for deodorizing, disinfecting, and sanitizing is staggering.
Select one or more agents for use in your facility only after weighing
all the benefits claimed by each product. Often this choice is made
without adequate consideration of the effects these agents may
produce on equipment or furnishings.

Owner’s Manual

CAUTION: Before selecting a chemical to employ in
your facility, review label statements regarding use
with metals (stainless steel). Always consult the
chemical supplier if there are any doubts.

Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides, and thiocyanates on stainless steel surfaces as
these chemicals will cause pitting, corrosion, and metal
discoloration. Allowing salty solutions to evaporate and dry on
stainless steel may also contribute to corrosive conditions.

In summary, select chemical deodorizers, disinfectants, and/or
sanitizers only after weighing all possible benefits and known
adverse effects.

Effect on Warranty

CAUTION: The warranty for this product is void if the
care and cleaning instructions provided in this
manual are not followed.

Unpacking & Inspection

CAUTION: Unpacking the utility table is not difficult.
However, the table is heavy and 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 utility table while you unpack it. If any
damage is noted, or if parts appear to be missing, call SSCI
Customer Service at [phone].

Care & Maintenance of Casters

General

Caster Safety Tips

This section provides you with a general safety and maintenance
guide for the casters on your Utility Table. Please read this section
carefully to use your equipment safely and to provide a long and
reliable life for your table.

Always remember, the most important safety step for casters is
regular and proper maintenance. Users are responsible for the
proper operation and maintenance of their equipment. Any piece of
equipment will become inefficient and unsafe if abused or subjected
to improper demands for which it was not designed. If equipment is
regularly maintained and not abused, you will get the maximum
safety and service performance from your casters. Always observe
the following rules:

 Never overload the equipment.
 Never drop heavy loads on the equipment.
 Never subject the equipment to operation at high speeds.

These actions create severe impact and shock loads that can lead to
wheel, caster, and equipment failure.

Inspection

Frames

Wheels

Periodically turn the equipment on its end or side and check the
following:

 Look for broken or cracked welds.
 Look for frame distortion caused by overloads and impact

loads. Distorted frames can lead to wheel failure by placing
disproportionate loads on one or two casters.

Check wheels for visible tread wear. Flat spots may indicate an
accumulation of foreign material, such as string, thread, or hair,
which can cause the wheel to bind. Clean any foreign material out of
the axle and ball-bearing.

Loose casters and frozen wheels can also cause flat spots. Timely
replacement of damaged casters will enhance equipment rollability
and tracking performance.

SSCI - Suburban Surgical Company, Inc.

Utility Table

Badly worn or “chunked out” rubber tires can also cause erratic
steering, bumping, load shifting, and damage to floors. We
recommend that replacement casters be kept on hand to reduce
costly downtime.

After the wheels have been inspected and repaired, be sure the axle
rivets are tight. The wheel may lock up or become damaged if it is
not straight in the caster horn.

Casters

Check the swivel assembly for excessive play due to wear. If the
swivel assembly is loose, replace the entire caster. If the swivel does
not turn freely, check for corrosion or dirt binding the raceways.
Note: The casters on the Utility Table do not have brakes or
lubrication fittings.
