7. Maintenance Check couch visually before use. Carry out routine servicing every six months or more frequently if in heavy use. Routine servicing or repair must only be performed by suitably qualified person.

WARNING Before commencing any maintenance activity, disconnect the couch from the electrical supply. Plug acts as disconnect device. Examine the couch for any signs of damage. Make sure that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are tight. Do not over tighten as this may cause binding. Upholstery fasteners should be checked, tightened or replaced if necessary. Check section hinge pins to ensure that no pin protrudes. Check gas strut controls, throughout the full range of movement for locking and assistance. Check hydraulic couches for smooth operation and signs of leakage.

WARNING All electrical checks should be performed by a suitably qualified and licensed electrician. Neither BLUE or BROWN wires are to be connected to the earth terminal of a three pin plug. Examine the flexible cables for cuts, abrasions, kinking or other deterioration and replace if necessary. Ensure that the power supply connector plug is securely attached. Check mains plug connections are tight and fuse is correctly rated (5A).
