ARM MAINTENANCE
Very little maintenance should be required for your PDI Arm to give years of trouble free service if the following lubrication
and inspection procedures are followed.
1.
INSPECTION - Occasionally check the base pin for any evidence of bending or distortion due to a patient using the
ARM for assistance in getting in or out of bed or any other misuse. If the ARM is not mounted with the base pin absolutely
vertical, it will have a tendency to drift and will not properly counter balance the television. Be certain that the wall the arm
is mounted to is vertical.
2.
SPRING ADJUSTMENT - The gas spring in this arm supports a specific weight range for the model construction.
These springs are not "adjustable". The pivot points for some arm models can be moved to alter the weight capacity.
Please contact the manufacturer for details. Otherwise the gas springs will have to be changed to alter the weight capacity
of the arm.
3.
LUBRICATION - At least once a year a drop of light machine oil should be put on each pivot point in the nose, elbow,
and base. DO NOT PUT OIL ON THE FRICTION DAMPER PADS!
4.
REPLACEMENT OF COAX CABLE - See cable
replacement procedure in the full maintenance
manual for your arm.
5.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT OF PIVOT SCREWS -
All screws in the ARM are tightened securely, and
Loctite, at the factory and do not require specific
checks with a torque wrench. IF THE THREADS
ARE STRIPPED IN THE NOSE, ELBOW, OR
BASE, THAT PART NEEDS REPLACEMENT -
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
