Replacing the check valve and the hydraulic cylinder
for lateral adjustment
All operating tables can be adjusted by means of
hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinders are equipped
with check valves. Hydraulic cylinders and check valves
can be replaced.
Preparation
•
In order to replace one of the check valves or one of
the hydraulic cylinders, detach the cladding panels of
the height adjustment column. You will find details
under “Removing and re-attaching the cladding
panels” on page 11.
Removing the check valve at the hydraulic cylinder for
lateral adjustment
•
Make the hydraulic cylinder retract completely.
•
Mind the position of the hydraulic hoses at the check
valve in order not to confound the directions of
motion.
•
Loosen the sleeve nuts at the two hydraulic hoses and
at the two tubes connected to the valve.
•
Loosen also the sleeve nuts at the tubes at the
hydraulic cylinder.
•
Remove the check valve from the hydraulic cylinder.
Installing the check valve at the hydraulic cylinder for
lateral adjustment
•
Connect the check valve to the hydraulic tubes and
retighten all sleeve nuts at the tubes. Mind the tilt
position of the check valve.
•
Refasten the hydraulic hoses at the check valve.
•
De-aerate the system afterwards. You will find details
