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.
