7.9 Maintenance of the lifting column
Generally, the lifting column does not require servicing, but it is not exempt from wear and tear.
This means that in the case of excessive wear, or in the case of non-replacement of worn product
parts, the safety of the product could be compromised.
Work with the lifting column may only take place in accordance with these instructions.
The device may only be opened by authorized specialist personnel. If there is a fault with the lif-
ting column, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer or send this lifting column for
repair.
•
If you are working on the electrical system or on electrical components, these must be isolated
from the mains first to prevent any risk of injury.
•
Unauthorized conversions of or changes to the lifting column are not permitted for safety re-
asons.
•
Safety-relevant devices must be inspected for proper function and completeness at regular in-
tervals.
7.10 Cleaning
You can clean the lifting column and the outer surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Never use a solvent based cleaning agent as it will corrode the switch material and
damage it.
7.11 Disposal and return
The lifting column must either be disposed of according to the applicable directives and
guidelines, or returned to the manufacturer.
The lifting column contains electronic components, leads, metals, plastics, etc., and must be dis-
posed of in accordance with the applicable environmental regulations of the respective country.
In the European Economic Area disposal is governed by the EU Directive 2002/95/EC or the rele-
vant national legislation.
