Rotation Gas Spring Checks
1. Ensure the Tube Head covers and Handle are installed on the Arm.
2. Remove the Breast Support.
3. Rotate the Arm to +90°.
4. Use string to attach a 2 kg (11 lbs) weight to top of the handle, then use the slow speed Arm Control

112/012 - Rotation control error
•
112/023 - Rotation control error

If there are Rotation related errors/warnings and/or the movement is not constant, the Rotation Gas
