5.3 Preventative Maintenance 

 

The following preventative maintenance procedures should be carried out every 12 
months. 
 

Other than general maintenance activities all other service or repair work must 

be performed by qualified and trained persons who are approved by Arjo.

 

 

WARNING

 

The couch must be disconnected from the mains power supply before starting any 
maintenance activity. Avoid skin contact with lubricants. 

 

GENERAL  

Examine the couch for obvious signs of damage. All aspects of the equipment 
should operate as intended. Check that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are 
tight and are not missing. 

Examine flexible cables and conduits for cuts, cracks, abrasions or other 
deterioration. 

Check that the power supply plug is not damaged. If either the power cable or 
plug is damaged, then both the cable and plug must be replaced as a complete 
assembly by an approved service agent. 

CASTORS 

Apply the brakes and push the couch forwards. If any of the four braking 

castors rotate the brake is not fully effective.

 

Check the steering lock castor for correct operation.

 

If either the brakes or the steering locks are not working correctly contact an 

approved service agent.

 

FOLD-DOWN ARMS 

 

Inspect the Arms for general wear and tear on fittings and pivot joints every six 
months. Check for rust, structural integrity of welds and paint finish every twelve 
months. 

Raise the Arm and lock in position. Refer to the operating procedures in this 
manual for further instruction. Ensure that locking operation operates smoothly 
and check for wear and tear of pivot screw and arm posts. 

PAPER ROLL HOLDER 

Check that the paper roll holder is securely attached to the couch and centre rod 
has not been compromised in any way.
