3. Warranty

The warranty period for your Advanced and Luxe couch is three

The warranty period for your Classic couch is two years, except for
the imitation leather upholstery, which is guaranteed for one year.

The above-mentioned warranty is not applicable in the following
cases:

a. In the event of improper use of the couch;

b. In the event of non-observance of the precautions of this
instructions manual;

c. If repair and maintenance are carried out by non-qualified
service personnel who are unauthorized by the manufacturer.

4. Liab ilit y

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any consequences
incurred by the user, the patient or by the couch itself as a result of
e.g.

a. A wrong diagnosis;

b. Incorrect use of the couch or any of its accessories;

c. The wrong interpretation or non-observance of this user
manual;

d. A lack of maintenance of the couch;

e. Or maintenance works of the couch and/or repairs performed

After a period of 10 (ten) years after introduction of the couch (or
any of its accessories), the manufacturer can no longer be held
responsible for any flaws in the couch or its accessories and he will
no longer be obliged to supply any spare parts or accessories.

5. Setting up

Lifting up

• While lifting the couch, it should be handled by the metal frame

exclusively.

Moving the couch

• Push the pedal A down completely with your foot.

• The couch is now resting on its castors.

The easiest way to operate the pedal is if you are standing

alongside the couch.

Never leave the couch on its castors; the pedal A must always

remain in the vertical position.

The couch may only be moved around when it is not carrying a

patient.

6. Safety p recautions

Generalities

The maximum lifting capacity of the couch (150 kg) may not be

exceeded.

Disconnect the plug from the power socket if there is any liquid
on or in the motor housing. Have the couch checked by a qualified
person or by a qualified agency.

Use original Gymna accessories, consumables and spare parts
only.

Electrical adjustments

The following rules apply to electrical adjustable couches:

Observe the mains voltage. Before connecting to the mains,
check whether the required mains voltage and frequency, indicated
on the model identification plate of the couch (refer to chapter 14.
Malfunctions), match those of your local circuit. If this is not the
case: do not connect but contact your local Gymna dealer
immediately.

Arrange the mains power cable in such a way that it can not be
jammed between the moving parts of the couch and so that the risk
of tripping over it is as low as possible.

An electrical adjustable couch may not be used in so-called wet
rooms with high humidity (hydrotherapy).

Switch off electrically adjustable treatment couches when not in
use.

Getting trapped

Do not allow unqualified people, particularly children, near the
treatment couch unless supervised.

Always make sure that, during the treatment and when working
with the couch, nobody, beside yourself (the therapist) and the
patient, comes near the couch in order to prevent the danger of
getting trapped.

When operating the footswitch, be careful not to get caught
between the footswitch itself and the frame as it is being lowered.
You should therefore not place the footswitch under the frame.

Always make sure that the patient keeps his/her hands on the
top sections of the couch or on the arm supports.

Make sure that the patient does not operate the handles by
accidental moves of hands, legs or feet.

In the lowest position of the couch, the arm supports and/or
the head section comes very close to the floor if both are adjusted
to the maximum setting.

Always make sure that neither yourself (the therapist) nor anyone
else can get trapped in between the arm and/or the head support
and the floor.

Danger for toppling over

Patients having a weight above 80 kg may not be seated on the
head support, as this would cause the couch to topple over.

Have the patient seated at
the foot end.
