Precautions
It is important to read the following instructions carefully before using your ManuMax
properly and safely. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the results of using
this device for any purposes other than described in these operating instructions.
If the use of this device may have caused or contributed to an undesirable event such as death
or serious injury to the user, the manufacturer AND the Competent Authority of the Member
State MUST be notified immediately!
The use of accessories and cables other than those specified or supplied by the manufacturer
of this equipment is not permitted.
The couch weighs approximately 100 kg and must be unpacked by at least two people.
Do not lift the couch by the table top sections or the all-around control.
Immediately after unpacking the couch, check whether the package contains all the items
listed above, and check the couch for any damage.
In case of damage, contact your local representative. Do NOT use the equipment!
Check the technical data section to ensure that the mains voltage meets the technical
specifications of the couch.
Check the technical data to ensure that the environment meets the environmental conditions
before using the couch.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, UV radiation, excessive dust, moisture, vibrations and
impacts.
ManuMax treatment couches are not suitable for use in so-
called ‘wet rooms’ (hydrotherapy
rooms).
Never move the couch with a person or a weight on the couch. Only move the couch on a level
surface. The couch is not suitable for riding over thresholds.
The ManuMax treatment couches are intended to be used, and shall only be used, by or under
the supervision of professional users in physiotherapy, rehabilitation and adjacent areas.
Never adjust a table top section when the patient is supporting on it with his/her full weight.
The table top sections of some ManuMax couches are supported by gas springs. These ensure
an easy adjustment and stable positioning of the table top sections. However, the gas springs
are not strong enough to adjust a section while supporting the full weight of the patient.
The arm rests will not be completely blocked after releasing the gas spring. The locking is
sufficient for supporting the arms, but is not suitable for exerting much more force on them.
Please, do not sit on them.
It is very important for the life of the upholstery that it is properly cleaned.
Skin oils, perspiration, make-up products, hairspray, etc. and overly aggressive detergents and
disinfectants can have a very detrimental effect on the lifespan of the upholstery.
Do not use any alcohol-based or aggressive cleaning agents.
If moisture or any material gets into the couch, turn it off, unplug it from the wall socket, and
have it checked by an authorised service technician before using the couch again.
Never use a mix of disinfectants or a mix of disinfectants and soap.
Prevent moisture from accumulating in the hinges of the metal frame. (Prolonged exposure to
moisture in the hinges may cause rust in the worst case scenario).
Regularly (monthly) check the functioning of the head/back section lock.
If the treatment couch is equipped with a motor, disconnect the plug from the wall socket if
the height adjustment is not used for a prolonged period of time.
Have your couch revised annually by authorised Enraf-Nonius staff.
