7. Συντήρηση
Regular cleaning and inspection will prolong the life and maintain the appearance of your Bobrick B-5192 seat.
- Καθάρισμα: Clean the phenolic seat and stainless steel frame regularly with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the finish.
- Επιθεώρηση: Periodically inspect all mounting hardware for tightness. Check the seat and frame for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and contact Bobrick for assistance.
- Λάδωμα: The folding mechanism typically does not require lubrication. If movement becomes stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the hinges.
8. Αντιμετώπιση Προβλημάτων
- Seat feels wobbly after installation: This indicates improper or insufficient anchoring. Immediately cease use and re-evaluate the installation. Ensure appropriate fasteners are used for the wall type and are securely tightened into structural blocking or studs. Professional re-installation may be required.
- Seat does not fold/unfold smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the hinge mechanism. Ensure the seat is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for damage.
- Corrosion on stainless steel parts: While Type 304 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, it is not corrosion-proof. Ensure proper cleaning and avoid prolonged contact with harsh chemicals or standing water. Minor surface rust can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner.
