Radiation Protection System Preventative Maintenance Checklist
Face Shield Inspection (All Systems)
1. While the system is not in use, remove the body shield from its fixed position
inside the balancer. Lower the body shield until the face shield is low enough
for visual inspection with the leaded apron off the ground. Use caution when
lowering the body shield to prevent damage to the leaded apron. A ladder may be
required for inspection to prevent risk of damage to the leaded apron.
2. Visually inspect each individual face shield panel for cracks, scratches, or other
surface imperfections that would cause loss of visibility or functionality of the
shields.
3. Visually inspect the interface between each of the shields to inspect for gaps.
4. Ensure the brackets holding the face shield panels together are in place and
secured. Ensure each of the 8-32 X .50 18-8 SS screws are in place and
secured.
5. Replace the leaded acrylic face shield panels if any of the abnormalities are
observed. Contact a TIDI Products authorized representative or TIDI Products
service for repairs and / or replacement of components. Replacement and repairs
may only be completed by TIDI Products authorized personnel.
6. If additional support is needed, contact TIDI Technical Service using the provided
contact information.
Material Disposal Notice: Lead
Follow local regulations on proper lead disposal.
Hinge Inspection (All Systems)
Hinge Replacement
1. The Zero-Gravity system body shield contains hinges allowing for the proper
positioning of the leaded apron around the user. (Figure 7)
2. As a result of long-term use, the hinges may require replacement after an
extended period of time to ensure the system functions as intended. Complete
inspection to determine if replacement of either of the hinges is required.
Hinge Inspection
1. While the system is not in use, locate the hinges carefully exposing the hinges for
inspection. (Figure 7)
2. Inspect each hinge and its components for any damage such as cracking or
broken components / hardware.
3. Rotate the components back and forth about the hinge axis to inspect for motion
obstructions or for damage. (Figure 8)
4. Replace the hinge if any damage or motion abnormalities are observed. Contact
a TIDI Products authorized representative or TIDI Products service for repairs
and / or replacement of components. Replacement and repairs may only be
completed by TIDI Products authorized personnel.
5. If additional support is needed, contact TIDI Technical Service using the provided
contact information.
