4.1 Preventative maintenance
Mark the date when the bed is taken into use next to the type plate located on the back section of the bed.
The date will provide a reference for annual servicing. Remember to mark the bed with the date when
performing the annual servicing, so that the following service date will not
require a separate reminder.
•
When cleaning the bed
, perform a general visual inspection, checking for any hydraulic leaks, loose
screws or parts, cracks, surface damage or missing parts.
•
Perform a monthly
inspection of the bed by fully extending and retracting all its adjustments. Make
the necessary repairs and adjustments.
•
The following items should be serviced on an
annual
basis:
• check the hydraulic pump of the Trendelenburg adjuster
• ensure that the castors and brakes turn and lock smoothly and precisely
• check and lubricate joints
•
Also, on hydraulic/gas spring-assisted beds:
• check condition of gas springs
• check height adjuster hydraulic pump
•
On electrically-operated examination tables:
• Inspect the condition of motors, hand control, control unit and all connections.
• check all cords for fraying.
Necessary repairs must be made immediately upon detection of a fault.
Repairs to the electrical operating system and other procedures are only to be carried out by an authorised
service representative.
NOTE!
The type plate information must be readily available when contacting the Service Department.
