L-Arm Motion
L-Arm Servicing Hazards
WARNING: Read the following information carefully before attempting to replace the Image
Intensifier or X-ray tube, and before repairing or adjusting the L-Arm brake.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in death, personal injury, or
equipment damage.
Two powerful gas-shock-dampened springs balance L-Arm rotational movement in a Standard nine-inch or 12-inch system.
These springs mount out of sight inside the L-Arm, and normally require no maintenance for the life of the system. They make it
easy for you to manually position the L-Arm in any convenient position, and have the L-Arm remain stationary when you remove
your hand.
WARNING: Before you remove the X-Ray Tube or the Image Intensifier, you must secure the
L-Arm with a safety bolt to avoid inadvertent spinning of the L-Arm due to its the
unbalanced condition. It is possible for the unbalanced L-Arm to rotate very
quickly and very forcefully, causing personal injury and equipment damage.
Follow these steps to secure the L-Arm before performing related maintenance:
1. Obtain the 3/8-16 x 3/4” UNC safety bolt.
2. Remove L-Arm end cap (see next picture). Set bolt and hole cover aside.
