Planned Maintenance Overview
13.1 Overview
13.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Planned Maintenance (PM) procedure is to ensure a high
level of performance and reliability as well as eliminate unnecessary system
breakdowns.
Cleaning, adjusting and checking the system annually will reduce the number
of remedial calls and increase the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).
These regular checks and adjustments will also increase component life and
prevent situations which may be hazardous to the patient or operator.
13.1.2 Type and Frequency of Maintenance
13.1.2.1 Maintenance performed by Service Engineers.

Planned Maintenance, unless otherwise specified, is carried out annually and
should only be performed by suitably qualified Service Engineers. To assist
with record keeping, a chart is provided in Section . These records provide
valuable information on the status of the system, and indicate if scheduling
of an additional service or is required. These maintenance procedures are
listed in Table 13-1 – Maintenance Checks Performed by Field Engineers on
page 13-3 and described in Section 13.2 and for systems fitted with Hawkeye
Section 13.8 must also be carried out.
13.1.2.2 Maintenance performed by Operator.

There are however some maintenance procedures which need to be carried
out more frequently by the operator. These maintenance procedures are listed
in Section 13.9 on page 13-75.

13.5.7 Collimator Cart Readjustment

Due to uneven floor leveling, the Collimator Cart may need height adjustment
in order to ensure smooth Collimator Exchange, especially regarding accurate
operation of the Microswitch and avoidance of collision between the
Collimators and the Head assembly.
The height of each Collimator Cart should be checked and adjusted if

necessary using the procedure below. Each cart has four adjusters - two at
the front and two at the back.
CAUTION
Adjust only the M10 Nuts on the Collimator Cart as described below. DO NOT
adjust any other screws or nuts on the cart. The adjustment of other screws may
cause failure during the Collimator Exchange Procedure (see Figure 13-22).
1. Move the Table aside and perform Collimator Exchange with each one
of the Collimator Carts (see Figure 13-21)
2. If any abnormal behavior appears, readjust the cart (see Figure 13-22).

Planned Maintenance System Lubrication Procedure
13.6 System Lubrication Procedure
13.6.1 Overview
Lubrication constitutes an important part of the bearing and guideway

maintenance.
Lubricants perform the following function:

z Reduce friction
z Minimize wear
z Prevent corrosion
z Protect against contamination
z Increase component and system operating life
13.6.1.1 Miscibility (capable of being mixed)
Greases may be mixed if the following preconditions are met:

z They have the same base oil type
z Their thickener types match
z They have a similar base oil viscosity
z Their consistencies match
Consultation is recommended if there is any doubt.
CAUTION
Greases made with different types of soaps will usually be incompatible and cause
the grease to liquefy or fail in some other way.

13.6.1.2 Types of Lubricants
All mechanisms in the machine (with or without seals), except the Swivel
Worm mechanism are filled with lithium grease.
The use of mineral oil based Lithium soap grease is recommended.

13.9.2 Precautionary Measures

The precautionary measures to be followed are listed below.
1. Check the cables for nicks, cuts and exposed wires.
2. Never place any items on the collimators or detectors. This can cause
damage to the crystal or the collimator and may necessitate their
replacement.
3. Maintain the room temperature at a constant level (between 20 - 25oC;
68 - 77oF). Do not allow a temperature change of more than 3oC (5oF) per
Hour. Failure to do so can damage the crystal which may necessitate its
replacement or cause poor uniformity.
4. To protect equipment from corrosion and to assure a safe operating
environment, humidity should be between 40 - 60%, non-condensing.
5. Check for proper movement during all mechanical operations and for
any unusual noises.
13.9.3 Cleaning the Imaging System

Do not use detergents or organic solvents to clean the imaging system. These
may damage the finish and may also cause structural weakening.
Clean the surface of the system with a cloth moistened with 95% ethyl alcohol,
including the table, head-holders, and accessories

13.9.4 Maintenance of Acquisition Computer
It is recommended to perform weekly maintenance procedures on the
