EVIS EXERA II GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 180 Series OPERATION MANUAL
Inspection of the bending mechanisms
Perform the following inspections while the bending section is straight.
• If the movement of the UP/DOWN angulation lock,
RIGHT/LEFT angulation lock and their angulation control
knobs are loose and/or not smooth, or the bending section
does not angulate smoothly, the bending mechanism may be
abnormal. In this case, do not use the endoscope because it
may be impossible to straighten the bending section during
an examination (except GIF-N180).
• If the movement of the UP/DOWN angulation lock and its
angulation control knob are loose and/or not smooth, or the
bending section does not angulate smoothly, the bending
mechanism may be abnormal. In this case, do not use the
endoscope because it may be impossible to straighten the
bending section during an examination (for GIF-N180 only).
Inspection for smooth operation
1.
Confirm that both the UP/DOWN and RIGHT/LEFT angulation locks move
all the way in the “F
” direction (the GIF-N180 has only the UP/DOWN
angulation lock).
2.
Turn the UP/DOWN and RIGHT/LEFT angulation control knobs slowly in
each direction until they stop, and return them to their respective neutral
positions (the GIF-N180 has only the UP/DOWN angulation control knob).
Confirm that the bending section angulates smoothly and correctly, that
maximum angulation can be achieved, and that the bending section returns
to its neutral position.
