Maintenance Cleaning/Disinfecting • • • • • • • • • • Clean the EasyStand Bantam with a mild, non-abrasive disinfectant or soap and water. Check the EasyStand at least weekly to ensure all nuts, bolts and adjustable parts are tightened securely, failure to do so may result in parts falling off which may cause a choking hazard for children. Do not use bleach or any other bleach-based cleaners on the EasyStand. Disinfecting wipes are safe to use on metal and non-porous surfaces.
TroubleShooting My lower leg length is too short for the stander. Invert and swap the foot plates left to right. My Bantam won’t go all the way to standing. Make sure that the supine option ratchet handles have been correctly assembled. We ship the back flat and the supine knob must be removed then assembled in the correct square hole. If not removed from position when shipped the bolt prevents the stander from going all the way up. Please refer to pg.6 in the owners manual.
Limited Warranty This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser/customer (or supplier non-consumer who does not buy or resell). Altimate Medical, Inc., warrants the EasyStand Bantam against defects in materials and workmanship as listed below.
