Risk of burns from hot parts or components!
If not observed, minor to more severe burns, especially on
the hands, can occur.
Parts and components (e.g., power components, cool-
ing fin, electromagnetic brakes) that can exceed 50
degrees Celsius during operation are accessible after
the covers are opened. To avoid burns, switch the
system off before touching parts or components and
allow at least 5 minutes for it to cool down.
Risk of injury from mechanical parts!
If not observed, minor to more severe injury, especially to
the hands, can occur.
The C-arm of the system is manufactured from a car-
bon fiber composite material. If the carbon fiber struc-
ture is damaged, by collision, cuts or scrapes by tools,
etc., individual carbon fibers or carbon fiber bundles
can protrude and injure the skin or penetrate the tis-
sue of the hand upon contact.
Before starting work on the C-arm, make sure that the
carbon fiber structures are undamaged (visual inspec-
tion).
If smaller superficial damage is detectable in the
painted area or in the area of the running surface
edges of the C-arm, wear work gloves and remove any
protruding carbon fibers. Then carefully sand the
damaged areas flat with fine emery cloth and seal the
damaged surface with paint. A spray paint in the color
of the C-arm can be used for this purpose (see the Ser-
vice Tool Catalog).
Remove any carbon fibers lying in the C-arm profile
with a damp sponge or cloth.
If greater damage to the carbon fiber structure indicat-
ing general or large-scale destruction of the carbon
fiber structure (e.g., crack formation or flaked-off
places on the running surfaces with torn carbon
fibers) can be detected, replace the C-arm.
