Lift the handle upwards a little at the same time as placing the hook between the white strut and the wooden board. Place the hook between the crossbar and the bolt. When done correctly it should look like picture 8 and 9 Lift the handle upwards and hook it in position, see picture 11 and 12. If it is almost impossible to lift the handle upwards or it the couch doesn’t seem to be fastened properly; adjust this by unscrewing or screwing the hook

Maintenance and cleaning The table basically requires no maintenance, but routine checks are to be carried out in order to secure full function. Omission of the following routine check-ups may expose the patient to unnecessary risks and may reduce the life length of the table. Therefore, check all the functions and parts of the table on a regular basis. Check following: Any jarring sound that may occur The function of the gas-springs The locking mechanism of the castors Damages on the electric cables (if the table is electrically adjustable). The function of the motor or the hydraulic pump

Lubrication Lubrication of all moving parts should be carried out every sixth month, according to schedule Use lubricating oil for the four lifting arms (see marked areas). Make sure that lubrication is applied around the lifting arm joints, to eliminate any jarring sound that may occur. Wipe off overflowing oil. Lubricate the lifting arm attachments. Lock the castors so that the examination table does not move. Flip the couch gently sideways (have someone help you), so that you may lubricate the link arm attachments. If extensive maintenance is necessary, please contact Tarsus.

Change of components Changing the hydraulic pump Warning! Note that the chassis will fall to its lowest position when the hydraulic pump is removed. This causes a risk for injury by crushing. Therefore the chassis MUST be placed on the side before changing the hydraulic pump. Have someone help you move the chassis to its side. Remove the M10-nut on the pedal. Remove the M8-nut on the pedal. Remove the M8-bolt by using a hammer, plastic or metal. Remove the M12-nut on the hydraulic pump and remove the M12-bolt. Change the hydraulic pump. Mount in reverse order.
