8.5 Storing the operation table (long term)
The Operation table should be covered, and stored in a
clean environment, with no extremes of temperature, see
the Technical Data section for details.
The table should be stored:
v With the base in the braked position.
v With the head and leg sections fully lowered.
v With the tabletop level in both planes.
v With ‘on/off’ switch (item 5, Fig. 2.2) ‘off’.

(especially objects having sharp edges and
protrusions) resting on their padded surface
as this could damage them. Always store them
flat.
Mattresses and pads should not be left in direct or
excessive heat and they must be stored flat. Do not leave
them with other accessories resting on them or leaning
against another object.
8.6 Maintenance
8.6.1 General
The Service Manual, which can be ordered from the
Eschmann After Sales Service Department, contains the
routine service schedule and details of how to replace parts
when required. Some parts of the table are not user
serviceable and this is detailed in the Service Manual, also
refer to section 1.1.6, 3.3.9 and 8.4.
8.6.2 Fault diagnosis
Table 1 lists possible causes for faults and conditions that
may arise. Some of these may require further investigation
by trained engineers in conjunction with the Service Manual
and circuit diagrams. Where the remedy will require an
engineer to rectify the fault or condition this is indicated by
the phrase “Engineer to...” in the remedy column. If any
fault persists (e.g. blown fuse) this should be investigated
by an engineer.
8.6.3 Environmental considerations
WARNING
Gas springs contain nitrogen gas and a small
quantity of hydraulic oil at very high pressure,
these must be vented before disposal, consult
the Service Manual for the safe procedure.
DISPOSAL NOTE
This equipment contains environmentally
hazardous lead-acid batteries. If the batteries
fail, or if the equipment is to be disposed of, it
is recommended that the batteries are taken to
a disposal site designated for the disposal of
lead-acid batteries, or that the batteries are
collected by an agent who specialises in the
collection of lead-acid batteries.
During normal use there are no environmental
considerations that need to be considered. During the
design stage several materials were considered to be
unacceptable and materials such as Cadmium, CFC filled
capacitors and devices containing mercury, have not been
used within this equipment.
During cleaning and disinfection procedures, the potentially
contaminated waste materials produced during these
actions, should be handled in accordance with local
procedures and National legislation for the disposal of
potentially contaminated waste.

of delivery the product fulfils the existing regulations and
standards but as with all other electro-mechanical products,
the Eschmann T20 Series of tables is subject to ageing
and wear, and even though the product may have
