Disposal
During the construction of the couch, care was taken to ensure that, wherever possible, no composites were
used. This design concept allows a high degree of recycling once the couch has reached the end of its service life.
Country-specific disposal regulations must be observed!
General disposal instructions
CAUTION
Risk of infection from contaminated couch.
The operator must ensure that all components to be disposed of are not infectious or contami-

ektroG)

sible for proving that the product was produced by GREINER. For further information, please

Disposal of batteries (if available)
Pb
Batteries that are no longer usable must be disposed of properly in accordance with the Bat-
tery Ordinance and should never be disposed of with household waste.
If you have any queries on waste disposal, please contact your local municipality, local waste
disposal company or our service (see 1.2 Manufacturer).
Disposal of gas springs/hydraulic units (if available)
Gas springs and hydraulic units are mainly made of metal and can be recycled after the oil contained within them
has been drained.
Gas springs must be depressurised in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions before disposal or draining
of the oil. These details are available on request from the corresponding gas spring manufacturer (see type plate
or manufacturer label). For the correct procedure for the disposal (recycling) of Stabilus gas springs, see
www.stabilus.com.
CAUTION
Danger of injury to the eyes or face, risk of injury due to trapping
Due to the high internal pressure, suitable measures for personal protection must be taken before
degassing (eye and face protection, covering the degassing opening, etc.).
When the gas springs are removed, there is a risk of trapping when the release mechanism is acti-
vated by sudden movement of the piston rod.
Environmental protection
Before disposal, the oil must be drained and disposed of properly.
