Adjust the table at the headboard with the help of the sliding
mechanism. You will now see the guide rails for the sliding
mechanism under the table top.
unscrew the eight screws.
Then drive the table plate to the end of the foot board. You
will now see the guide rails for the sliding mechanism.
unscrew the six screws.
The cylinder piston for the hydraulic sliding function has to
be taken off. To do so, put off the screw at the end of the
piston.
Note:
To put off the screw, push against the screw with a screwdri-
ver or similar. The piston itself is freely movable.
Finally move the table plate to the left (1 x) and to the right
(1x) in order to put off the last two screws through the notch
in the base plate.
Now the plate can be easily removed.
Attention:
before removing the last screws, a second person
should secure the table top to prevent the table top from
falling down.
In such a case serious injuries or damages of the table
top could be the result.
When remounting the table top, all screws should be
fastened first and then should be loosened by a half
turn.
After that, move the table top in all directions before fi-
nally fastening the screws tightly.
IV. Removing The Crusting Protective Cover

After removing the table top, you can start to remove the in-
tegrated crusting protector,

please see Chapter III. „Removing the Table Top“.
Also remove the crusting protector and loosen the expansion bellows, as stated in Chapter IV. “Removing the
Crusting protector“ and Chapter VI. „ Loosening the Expansion Bellows“.
Additionally, put off the column cover and separate the way-
measurement system from the cylinder. For further help, plea-
se see Chapter V .„ Removing the Column Cover“ and Chap-
ter X. „Replacement of the Way Measurement System“.
Do as follows

Remove the four screws which fix the base plate to the arti-
culated frame of the lift column.

Attention:
The plate, e.g. the whole upper structure, is lying on the
articulated frame of the column, only fixed to the base
frame by tubes and cables.

fig. 78+79: dismantle hydraulic cylinder

As soon as the plate is unscrewed it can be slightly moved (a

few centimetres) with care, so that the screws of the suspen-
sion of the lateral cylinder will be visible.
Unscrew the two fastening screws which connects the outer
cheek of the upper suspension of the lateral cylinder to the
articulated frame.
Remove the snap ring at the end of the bolt and pull the
cheek from the bolt.

fig. 80: dismantle hydraulic cylinder

Take care of the inserts of the eye screw, which fixes the cy-
linder to the bolt.
It might lead to an unwanted instability of the table, should
they get lost.

Note:
Take care of the little bolt of the pulled off cheek of the sus-
pension. This little bolt should fit into the groove of the insert
of the bolt, to hold it in position!

fig. 81: dismantle hydraulic cylinder

24
now detach the lower suspension of the cylinder.
Remove one of the snap rings, which fix the bolt of the lower
suspension.
Remove the snap ring from the side of the magnet valve
block.
This will guarantee,that the bolt can be removed on the other
side, by driving it through, without hindrance.

Attention:
Before completely detaching the bolt from the suspensi- fig. 82: dismantle hydraulic cylinder
on, a second person should secure the upper structure.
After removing the bolt, the upper structure is freely mo-
vable on the lateral axle.
Please note: The upper plate is not connected to the
base frame, therefore, please secure directly at the arti-
culated frame.

After removing the bolt of the lower suspension, the cylinder

can be pulled off the bolt of the upper suspension.

Finally unscrew the hydraulic wires from the magnet valve

block, in order to dismantle the cylinder.

Attention:
While dismantling the cylinder, oil might penetrate. The
cylinder should not be pressurized when dismantled.

XII. Replacement of the Accumulators

Before replacing the accumulators or controlling its condition, it is necessary to remove the column cover. For
further help please see Chapter V. „Replacement of the Column Cover“.
Do as follows:

First jack up the table by placing two ,e.g., squared timber

underneath.

Now separate the cable connection between the accumulator

and the control.

Open the insulating screw joint, which is fixed inside the co-
lumn at the column base plate.

Attention:
The contacts of the accumulator are now exposed and
could cause a short circuit.
We recommend to insulate the heads (insulation tape),
as soon as they are removed from the insulating screw
joint.

fig. 89+90:dismantle accumulators

Now, you will see the battery compartment,from the lower

side of the column, (at the head rest from the patients side of
view).

To open the compartment just remove the two visible screws

and remove the protective cover.

fig. 91: dismantle accumulators

Behind the protective cover you will find the accumulators,

which are hold by an elastic band. With the help of this band
you can easily pull the accumulators out of the column.

Note:
After the control and/or replacement of the accumulators, put
back the above mentioned elastic band, to make future main-
tenance easy. .
