CHAPTER 6
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
1 General
The servicing procedures and data given in this section include instructions for:
• Replacement of specific components and sub-assemblies
• Dismantling and assembly of the main structure
• Restoration of paint finish
Minor procedures considered to be self-evident have not been included.
Do not disassemble more than is necessary to replace a defective item.
Remove old Loctite
®
and other adhesives from components before re-assembly. Before applying
Loctite , clean and degrease parts using a suitable volatile solvent, e.g. methylated spirits/denatured
alcohol.
The hinges between the various parts of the bed incorporate self-lubricating bushes and do not require
lubrication.
To facilitate access for carrying out servicing procedures, remove the deck sheet mouldings and head/
foot end panels from the bed.
All references to left or right of the bed are when viewed from the head end (i.e. by a patient lying on the
bed).
Before returning the equipment to use following repair or servicing:
• Carry out a visual inspection for signs of damage, paying particular attention to cables and
paintwork.
WARNING
Before starting any service or maintenance procedures, ensure that the
equipment has been adequately decontaminated.
Avoid skin contact with lubricants. Rubber gloves and protective clothing
should be worn when carrying out maintenance work.
The bed and its sub-assemblies are heavy and could cause serious injury or
death by crushing. When working beneath the mattress platform, the
equipment must be properly supported with suitable lifting devices, blocks or
stands.
Use only replacement parts that are approved by Arjo.
Use only parts listed in this chapter; similar parts from other Arjo products
may not be compatible.
If single use fasteners are removed they should always be replaced with new
parts.
Caution
After replacing any cable or actuator, check that none of the cables are
kinked, strained or pinched. Adjust the cables to remove any slack that could
become entangled in the bed mechanism. Verify that these conditions are
maintained over the full range of movement of the bed sections.
Do not allow electrical components to come into contact with aggressive
chemical agents, e.g. cutting oil.
