Maintenance - Gima TOBI CLINIC Handbuch

specification of NOT REPAIRED INSTRUMENT, accompanied by an explanation letter.
GIMA will decide if contamination is due to bad functioning or misuse. If contamination is due to bad functioning, GIMA will substitute the instrument,
only if a SALE RECEIPT and STAMPED GUARANTEE accompany the same.
GIMA is not responsible for contaminated accessories, they will be substitute at customer's expenses.
For this reason it is COMPULSORY to carefully disinfect the external part of the instrument and accessories with a cloth soaked in methylated spirits
or hypochlorite-based solutions. Put the instrument and accessories in a bag with indication of disinfecting. We also request to specify the kind of
fault, in order to speed up repairing procedures.
To this end, please read the instructions carefully in order to avoid damaging the equipment through improper use.
Always specify the fault encountered so that GIMA can establish whether it falls into the category of the faults covered by the guarantee.
The TOBI CLINIC suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
It is necessary to check functioning and instrument before every use.
Unpack the instrument and always check integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during previous use.
Always check the integrity of the footswitch power cord. Connect cable to electrical network and turn switch on.
Close the aspiration outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that the vacuum indicators reaches -90
kPa (-0.90 bar) maximum. Rotate the knob from right to left and check the aspiration regulating control.
The vacuum indicator should go down -40 kPa (-0.40 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present, these can indicate wrong functioning.
A protection fuse (F 1 x 4A L 250V) reachable from exterior and it situated in the plug protects the instrument. For use replacing, always check the
type and the range indicated.
