Maintenance
Plinth Medical Ltd products are designed to be maintenance free. However keeping
your Plinth products clean and regularly checked will assist in prolonging their
working life. The following is a guide of simple checks that the user can carry out on
a six monthly basis. We would also recommend an annual service visit by a Plinth
Medical trained engineer.
WARNING
Disconnect chair from electrical supply before commencing any of the following
checks.
Examine the chair for any signs of damage. Pay particular attention to all nuts, bolts
and fasteners to check they are present and tight but not over tight.
Upholstery bolts should all be checked (each section has between 2 and 6 No. M6
bolts), they should all be present and tight.
Check gas struts (if fitted) and ensure that they operate through the full range of
movement and lock fully.
Check hinge pins are lubricated and not rusty.
Check main chair nylon pivot bearings are lubricated sufficiently.
Examine mains and switch cables for any damage, cuts, kinks, abrasions etc. These
must be replaced if necessary.
Check mains lead, switch cables and slave motor leads are all correctly and securely
attached.
Check correct plug fuse is fitted (5A).
