Replacement
Important Safety Message
DANGER: Read the following information carefully. Failure to do so could result in death, personal
injury, or equipment damage.
Note: The following information does not apply to the Super C, which does not have an L-Arm.
A gas-shock-dampened spring regulates L-Arm rotational movement in a Standard nine-inch or 12-inch system. This makes it is
possible to manually position the balanced L-Arm in any convenient position and have the L-Arm and attached C remain
stationary when you remove your hand.
When you replace the X-ray Tube or the Image Intensifier, you disturb the balanced condition of the L-Arm and the attached C,
and you must exercise special care to avoid inadvertent movement of the L-Arm due to 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 3/8-16 x 3/4” safety bolt.
2. Remove L-Arm cover.
3. Position L-Arm in normal vertical position with Flip Flop assembly holding C-Arm vertically. Set Flip Flop brake, but do not
set L-Arm brake at this time.
4. Rotate L-Arm slightly until hole for safety bolt becomes visible. Install and secure safety bolt as shown in the following
illustration. Secure the L-Arm brake.
