• Release the support arm from the (transport) park position (1//Fig. 7 / p. 30)
• Slowly move the support arm into the uppermost position. When doing so, the support
arm must stop in any desired position without accessories attached and without the
supplementary brake applied (2//Fig.7/p.30).
• Check the additional locking of the support arm with the knob (2//Fig. 7 / p. 30)
Readjusting the spring tension:
- Remove the cover (3//Fig. 7 / p. 30) from the stand.
- Fully release the supplementary brake on the support arm (2//Fig.7/p.30).
- Move the support arm into the horizontal position.
- Firmly tighten the nut (4//Fig.8/p.30) using a 17-mm open-ended wrench. Adjust
the spring tension so that the support arm is balanced in the horizontal position, i.e.,
so that equal force is required when lifting and lowering the tube.
SIM Chains of the spring counterbalance
• Remove the cover (3//Fig. 7 / p. 30) from the stand.
• The condition of the chains (5//Fig.8/p.30) for the spring counterbalance must be
checked carefully. If the chain is defective, the stand column must be replaced.
PMP Maintenance of joints and chains
• Spray the joints of the stands with WD-40.
• Grease the chains with Optimol Longtime PD2 (5//Fig.8/p.30).
• Reinstall the stand cover (3//Fig.7/p.30).
