3. Set the insertion section to the most flexible and most rigid conditions,
respectively. In each case, hold the insertion section with two hands

Figure 3.6. Confirm that the actual flexibility changes according to the
flexibility adjustment setting.

Inspection of the zoom lever (for GIF-H260Z, CF-H260AZL/I,
PCF-Q260AZI only)
Move the zoom lever slowly in each direction unit it stops. Confirm that it moves
smoothly and correctly.
Inspection of the bending mechanisms
Perform the following inspections while the bending section is straight.
• If the movement of the UP/DOWN angulation lock,
RIGHT/LEFT angulation lock, and the angulation control
knobs is loose and/or not smooth, or the bending section
does not angulate smoothly, the bending mechanism may be
abnormal. In this case, do not use the endoscope because it
may be impossible to straighten the bending section during
an examination (except GIF-N260).
• If the movement of the UP/DOWN angulation lock and its
angulation control knob is loose and/or not smooth, or the
bending section does not angulate smoothly, the bending
mechanism may be abnormal. In this case, do not use the
endoscope because it may be impossible to straighten the
bending section during an examination (for GIF-N260 only).
