Service and maintenance

VariFrame – Assembly Instructions page 36  Remove all cleaning aids after performing cleaning work.  Retract the table base frame before cleaning.  Remove the load from all lifting elements before maintenance works.  Unplug the motor control from the mains before cleaning.  Clean the system components with a mild detergent and a damp cloth.  Liquid entry of any kind must be strictly avoided.  Do not use any corrosive detergents or high pressure washing systems to clean the components of the table base frame.  Grease may be carried over during operation, leading to so-called run marks on visible pipe surfaces. These may be wiped off with mild cleaning agent and a cloth.  Before restarting operation make sure the system is clean and dry. 6.3 Maintenance The table base frame should be inspected on a regular basis. In case components are worn or damaged excessively, they must be replaced without delay. 6.3.1 Overloading the table frame  Overloading the table frame must be avoided in any case. IMPORTANT Drives that repeatedly turn off automatically are an indication that the system is overloaded. 6.3.2 Damages to electrical wires Check the insulation of the electrical wires for visible signs of aging and wear. Replace defective or damaged wiring.

page 37 7 Decommissioning 7.1 Component storage The storage area should be cool and dry in order to prevent corrosion of the individual parts of the table frame.  Pack the table frame parts in such a way that they are protected from damages by external influences during storage.  Use cardboard containers and other packing material, if necessary.  Secure the table frame parts against accidental tilting and instability. Transport and storage conditions Temperature: -25°C to +60°C Rel. humidity: 10% to 95% (non-condensing) Table 7 Transport and storage conditions 7.2 Disposal of components  Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with national regulations.  Dispose of cardboard packaging, protective packaging made of plastics and preserving agents separately and professionally. The users are obliged to return the old equipment to a recycling center for old electrical and electronic equipment. The disposal of the controller is subject to the Elektro-G (Electrical Equipment Act), the EC Directive 2002/95/EC internationally (RoHS with effect from 7/1/2006) or the respective national legislation. The disposal of the components (also operating materials) in other countries should be performed in accordance with the local disposal regulations and environmental protection laws in the country where the machine is used. If the equipment has reached the end of its life cycle, ensure a safe and professional disposal when dismantling, in particular for those parts or substances which are hazardous for the environment. This includes lubricants, plastics and batteries, etc.  Have the machine disposed properly by an authorized specialist company on account of the potential risk of environmental pollution.
