Spring-Arm Inspection
Note: Before inspection, loosen the Spring-Arm Positioning Handle (rotate counter-
clockwise) located on the side of the Spring-Arm until the Spring-Arm moves up and
down freely.
Once a year, the Spring-Arm should be inspected for the following:
ï‚· The Spring-Arm should move smoothly without excessive force between the upper
and the lower limits of its vertical travel.
ï‚· With the Spring-Arm at the top of its travel, measure from the floor to the bottom of
the Collimator Block (1). The measurement should be between 58 and 59 inches
(147.3–149.9 cm).
ï‚· With the Spring-Arm at the bottom of its travel, measure from the floor to the bottom
of the Collimator Block (1). The measurement should be between 27 and 28 inches
(68.6–71.1 cm).
If the Spring-Arm does not move smoothly or if the travel measurements cannot be achieved,
contact Capintec’s only
Authorized Service Center for information on replacement items,
instructions or on-site service.
