boxes and plastic bags.

Recommendations for plastic bags: do not put them over the head as
there is a risk of suffocation, and keep them out of the reach of children.
Be careful with small-sized pieces: they could be swallowed by a child.

Be careful with cords and cables: risk of strangulation.

Before using your machine you must move the foot plate into its
working position. (See page 8).

Your machine is ready to be connected to the power supply.
(See page 5).

Packing

To prevent any problems when the machine is

Using the Plastic Comfort Case kit

Plastic Comfort Cases are specially designed to improve comfort and hygiene for the patient. They have
clips, fixed directly on the tubes of the machine's thigh and lower limb support segments, and straps with
protection stops to precisely and quickly adjust to the patient's leg dimensions.

Cleaning

To ensure optimal hygiene, clean the supports after each patient use.
Use a DISINFECTANT product (alcohol-free or <5% alcohol solution) in spray (plastic cases and metal
components).

We recommend changing the cases every 500 hours of operation.

(See the Maintenance chapter for the running time counter).

Maintenance

After 2,000 hours of operation, or once a year, the device KINETEC® Spectra Essential requires lubrication and
maintenance operations (lubrication of the joints, pointer stops and ball screws). The need for maintenance is
indicated by display of the message SERVICE TIME Mx when the system is switched on.
Despite this indication, you can continue to use your machine by pressing [START], but you should contact your
nearest KINETEC technician to have the maintenance operations carried out as soon as possible.
An after-sales service inspection sheet and the technical catalogue are available on request from your KINETEC
distributor.

WARNING: Before using this machine, always check that the electrical socket is in good condition and is

suitable for the splint power supply cord. Only use the original cable supplied with the machine.
Check that the cables remain free around the device so that they do not get damaged.

WARNING: Before using this machine, always check that the machine is not damaged, in particular the

protective housings.

When the machine is no longer in working condition, please return it to us, together with its accessories, for
destruction.

A motor running time counter is available by simultaneously pressing keys and ;

the displays shows RESET TIME 215H (this is an example).

This counter can be reset by pressing the key .

Troubleshooting guide

A spare parts list and technical catalogue are available on request from your KINETEC distributor.
If, after connecting the power supply cable to the power supply and switching
on the machine:

• The display does not indicate any information:

- Check that the electrical socket is live using another device or voltmeter.

- Replace the fuse(s) (25) of the connector with fuses of the same type and
calibre: 2 fuses T 750 mA 250V (6.3 x 32) (KINETEC order: 4610007434).

- Check that the hand control is connected properly.

- If the display still does not indicate any information, contact your nearest
KINETEC technician.

• Your machine does not work and the display indicates 50 STOP 25 115,
Press [START] again.
If your machine still does not work, contact your nearest KINETEC technician.

• Your machine does not work and the display indicates:

"SERVICE D1": angle measurement function failure,
or "SERVICE D2": no movement,
or "SERVICE D3": abnormal consumption,
or "PUSH STOP/START": power failure or disconnected motor.
switch the machine off then on,
contact your nearest KINETEC technician if the same message is displayed

Cleaning

Before carrying out any cleaning operation, SWITCH OFF the unit and disconnect the power supply. In order to ensure
optimal hygiene, you are advised to clean the machine for each new patient.
Cleaning should be carried out in the environmental conditions specified in the
“Technical Specifications” section below.
Use a DISINFECTANT product (alcohol-free or <5% alcohol solution) in spray.
In order to ensure optimal hygiene, you are advised to clean the covers for each new patient. All the consumables
enable hazard-free disposal.

Disposal and recycling

a • Packaging: The packaging must be separated into plastic and paper / cardboard components and taken to

special recycling sites.

b • Kinetec patient pad kit: Clean with a disinfectant product then take it to special recycling sites.
c • Unit: It contains electronic components, cables, aluminium, steel and plastic parts. When the machine is no longer

operational, disassemble it, separate it into different types of material and take these to authorised recycling
centres or return the machine to Kinetec for destruction. Or contact the local authorities to determine the
appropriate method of disposal for parts and accessories that are potentially hazardous to the environment.

For emitters whose assigned maximum emitted power is not given above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can
be estimated using the equation applicable to the emitter frequency, where P is the emitter's maximum emission power characteristic in
watts (W), according to the latter's manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the highest frequency range is applicable.
NOTE 2 These directives cannot be applied in every situation. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection by structures, objects and people.
