Welcome to Hygolet®

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: What if a technical problem is experienced?

A: By following the instructions or reviewing the Installation and Maintenance Video supplied with hygolet, technical problems can be easily resolved. Your maintenance personnel may also contact your hygolet service representative.

Q: Can hygolet be operated without the top housing?

A: No. The pressure roller, located inside the take-up area of the housing, presses the hygoplast against the drive shaft creating the necessary pressure required to advance the hygoplast properly.

Q: What happens if the hygoplast runs out?

A: Hygolet can be used as a regular toilet seat until a new roll of hygoplast is installed.

Q: What happens if the hygoplast is torn entirely?

A: Simply press the red button to feed the remainder of the hygoplast sleeve, then reload the roll onto a new take-up spool.

Q: Why is the hygoplast rotating around the seat ring more than once?

A: A missing drive shaft or improperly loaded hygoplast roll will cause multiple rotations. If the hygoplast is loaded under the drive shaft, you must reload it over the drive shaft.

Q: Why is the hygoplast twisting around the seat ring?

A: The hygoplast will twist around the seat ring if it has not been properly loaded. Make sure the hygoplast sleeve is fed from the bottom of the roll and the seam lines up to the outer edge of the seat ring.

Q: Why is the hygoplast advancing slowly around the seat ring?

A: The hygoplast will advance slowly if the power pack needs to be changed, if the plastic is twisting around the seat ring, or if the plastic has been loaded onto a wet seat ring.

Q: Why is the hygoplast bunching up on the take-up side?

A: This is caused by a dull or improperly installed blade. If the blade is dull, switch it to side two; if it is already on side two, replace the blade entirely.

FEATURES

Q: What is the difference between seat models?
A: We offer the following models:
•	*S2000 Sensor* : A wave of the hand past the red button located on the left side of the unit automatically encloses the seat with a protective plastic covering called hygoplast .
•	*S2000 Push Button* : Pushing the red button on the left side of the unit automatically encloses the seat with hygoplast .
•	M1000 Manual : The user manually advances the hygoplast by turning the hand crank located on the left side of the unit.

Q: *Is hygolet* under warranty?**
A: Hygolet is under a one-(1) year warranty against any manufacturing defects.

Q: *Does hygolet* replace the regular toilet seat?**
A: Yes. Hygolet fits all standard toilets and is installed the same way as a conventional seat. Round and elongated seat rings are available depending on the contour of the toilet bowl.

*Q: We have personnel available for the continuous cleaning of our restrooms. Why should we invest in hygolet* ?**
A: With hygolet , the amount of personnel required to maintain restrooms can be drastically reduced, or their priorities can be redirected to perform other duties. Even in restrooms with a full time attendant, no one can guarantee a clean, hygienic seat.

Q: Does the same plastic keep going around the seat?
A: No. The clean hygoplast roll is housed on the left side of the unit. The soiled hygoplast is rolled onto a take-up spool and housed in a separate chamber on the right side of the unit.

*Q: How easy is it to change a roll of hygoplast* ?**
A: Changing the roll is as easy as snapping in a roll of toilet paper.

*Q: Where may I purchase hygolet* products?**
A: From your local hygolet representative or by calling 1-800-494-6538.

MAINTENANCE

Q: How often does the hygoplast need to be replaced?

A: Each roll has 100 seatings of hygienic plastic. There is also a 140 seatings roll available for high traffic restrooms. The amount of hygoplast used is dependent on the amount of traffic in the restroom.

Q: How will maintenance personnel know when the hygoplast is getting low?

A: A faint black line will begin to appear on the hygoplast when there are ten or less seat coverings.

Q: How do I load the hygoplast on to the take-up spool?

A: Thread the hygoplast under the clip of the spool, turning the spool toward you several revolutions. Be sure that the hygoplast is over the drive shaft, never under .

Q: What if the seat ring is wet?

A: If the seat ring is wet, the hygoplast will not advance properly. Clean and dry the seat completely, and then reload a new or the remaining roll of hygoplast onto a take-up spool.

Q: What happens if urine gets inside hygolet ?

A: While highly unlikely, simply remove the cover, and clean the inside of the housing, using a household cleaner.

Q: If moisture builds up in the take-up side of the unit, where does it go?

A: There is a tray located on the bottom side of hygolet that allows any excess liquid to drain through the hole at the base of the tray, directly into the bowl.

Q: How do I clean hygolet ?

A: To clean hygolet , use a sponge or hand towel dampened with household sanitizer, i.e., Lysol or Pine-Sol cleaner.

Q: Will an acid or bleach based cleaner harm hygolet ?

A: Yes. If a strong acid is continually used, it will harm the plastic surface of the toilet seat.

TECHNICAL

Q: What is hygolet made of?

A: ABS plastic -- the same as telephones.

Q: What are the metal parts made of?

A: Stainless steel.

Q: What is the hygoplast made of?

A: High-density polyethylene, approximately one (1) mill (one thousandth of an inch).

Q: Can the hygoplast slip off the seat?

A: No. It is in the form of a sleeve that fully encases the seat.

Q: What kind of power is used to operate the seat?

A: The unit is operated by a 6-volt hygolet power pack, which lasts up to 5000 seatings; or in high traffic restrooms, a low voltage connection may be considered.

Q: What is the purpose of the 2-sided blade?

A: The blade splits the hygoplast allowing it to pass over the "attachment plate", thus preventing reuse of the roll.

Q: Can the blade cut the user?

A: No. It is completely concealed when the top cover is in place.

Q: How often does the blade need to be replaced?

A: It is suggested that everytime the power pack is changed, the blade be turned to Side 2. If the blade is already on Side 2, then it must be replaced with a new one.

Q: What happens if the unit is activated while someone is sitting on the hygolet ?

A: Nothing. The hygolet is designed so that the hygoplast will not advance.
