5. Cleaning and Lubrication
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and enables
equipment to function at its optimum.
Steam cleaning with a suitable cleaning additive is the most effective method. The
same results may be achieved by using a sponge and mild detergent soap mixed in
warm water. For particularly grimy cases, especially if the trolley has been in storage
for a long period, it may be necessary to first wash the trolley with a water soluble
solvent soaked cloth prior to using soap and water.
Once cleaned, dry the trolley with a soft towel, paying particular attention to swivel
and sliding joints. If a compressed air hose is available, you may find that
compressed air jets are more effective in drying the hard-to-reach places. Once the
trolley is dry, you may wish to apply a liquid car wax to polished surfaces.
Lubrication
Your Ferno Pegasus trolley will work efficiently and safely only when it is well
lubricated. You MUST lubricate all moving and sliding parts after every inspection or
preventative maintenance programme, or if there is inadequate lubrication for the
moving parts to operate easily and quietly.
In general terms, almost all sliding and moving parts may be lubricated with a light
duty grease. A penetrating fluid lubrication is used on some sliding parts of the
trolley. However, when a penetrating fluid lubricant is used, all excess MUST be
wiped away, to prevent any build-up of dust or grime, which can clog up working
parts and impede movement.
Specific recommendations are available in the Pegasus Service Book which is
provided at the point of sale. Service and Repair is to be carried out by a Ferno
Trained Engineer. Contact Ferno Service on 01274 854511 for further details.
