In the Federal Republic of Germany, the electrical installation of rooms used for medical
purposes must conform to the provisions of VDE Standard 0107. Consult installation layout plan. During installation it is important that all protective ground wire connections
provided by the manufacturer properly made before the equipment is started up. The protective ground wires between the individual system components and the power supply
are connected as shown in the wiring diagram. Regulations of professional associations
concerning safety and accident prevention must be observed. No work may be performed
on parts carrying a voltage higher than 42V (Peak Voltage). If it is necessary to turn on the
power for execution of movements of the equipment in the mode of installation procedure,
it must be shut down immediately after completion of these movements.

The maintenance schedule described below is to be accomplished at 12-month intervals.
Whenever in the course of these procedures, parts of the unit must be moved electromotively, or if functional tests require power, disconnect the power as soon as the part has
reached the new position, or after the appropriate functional test sequence. Defective parts
must be replaced by genuine spare parts according to the spare parts list.
Use only non-acid grease for maintenance. Do not grease or oil ball bearings with sealing
washers.
Preparation: Turn off unit. Remove cover (Fig. 25/Pos. 1) the cover of the vertical
carriage (Pos. 6+7) and cover (Pos. 8)
Floor and wall Check all fastening screws and tighten if necessary. Torque 50 N.
mounting
Vertical car- Clean the guide rails of the column and check for damage. Slightly
riage grease the rails again.
Clean wire ropes (do not use any solvents) visually inspect the ropes for
traces of wear. Lightly apply lubricant.
Steel ropeClean steel rope (do not use fat solvents) and check upon damage.
Check on smooth running over entire travel range. At the slightest sign
of damage - (if there are 12 or more broken single lodes of the rope up
to 100 mm or 3 and more single lodes up to 10 mm or a single lode broken) - inform the user directly. Further use of the equipment could
endanger the security of patient and user. Do not use the equipment
until the defective rope has been replaced.
Attention: The exchange of the rope has to be done at least every 3 years
