Introduction-Before Installing AMSCO Flexmatic Scrub Station

Review the following information before installing or using the Amsco® Flexmatic® Scrub Station.

Uncrating Instructions and Equipment Drawing

Complete instructions for uncrating the AMSCO Flexmatic Scrub Station, as well as an equipment drawing, have been

furnished. The clearance space shown on the equipment drawing is required for proper installation, operation and

maintenance of the scrub station.

If any of these documents are missing or misplaced, contact STERIS, giving the serial and model numbers of the

equipment. Replacement copies will be sent to you promptly.

Utility Service Lines

Shutoff valves should be installed in water supply lines at a point near the equipment so the equipment can be serviced

without shutting off the building supply.

Disconnect switches should be installed in electrical supply lines near the scrub station if the unit is furnished with

optional digital timer or optional sensor.

If the scrub station is installed next to other equipment, shutoff valves and disconnect switches (if digital timer is

furnished) should be placed such that service can be shut off to one piece of equipment at a time.

If STERIS supervision is desired for installing this equipment, contact STERIS.

Installation

4.1 Installing AMSCO Flexmatic Scrub Station

CAUTION

POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

The dispenser has not been sterilized prior to shipment. After installation and prior to use, the dispenser

should be sanitized according to guidelines established by the facility’s Infection Control Unit.

1. Refer to the dimensions shown in the equipment drawing and, using the two support brackets (provided by

STERIS) as templates, mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall. Secure the two brackets to the wall.

(Fasteners are not provided by STERIS due to various wall constructions.) Verify brackets are level.

NOTE: If wall structure does not support the weight of the scrub station, install chair carriers (not supplied by STERIS)

to support the brackets.

2. Repeat Step 1 for the wall Z clip(s) (provided by STERIS).

NOTE: The non-load-bearing wall Z clip(s) must be properly oriented with respect to the load-bearing brackets

as shown in the equipment drawing.

3. Lift the scrub station into position, hooking the backsplash over the Z clip(s) and letting the weight of the scrub

station rest on the brackets.

4. Only for models with digital timer(s) or sensors in non-hazardous area:

a. Press latch block at bottom center of knee panel at left end of the station and lift up panel (refer to Figure

4-1).

b. Simultaneously push spring loaded bolts toward each other.

c. Move knee panel away from latch hinges and release spring loaded bolts.
