Attaching the equipment

G-30-1426-en
Preparations for use
You can attach different types of surgical microscope to the suspension
system. The procedure of mounting the surgical microscope is always the
same despite the different microscope versions.
Please also see the user's manual of your surgical microscope for the de-
scription of the mounting procedure.
Warning!
The maximum weight of the microscope including accessories must not
exceed 20 kg!
• Leave the suspension arm locked in its horizontal position until
– you have mounted and secured the complete equipment
– and made the electrical connections.
• Then perform the balance setting procedure.
• Turn the instrument off at the power switch.
• Bring the suspension arm in the horizontal position, pull out the locking
knob (1) and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise by 180°. At the
same time, move the suspension arm slightly up and down until the
lock snaps in. This prevents the arm from uncontrollably moving up-
ward when insufficient weight is attached.
• Use a 4 mm Allen key to loosen mounting screw (3) by a few turns.
• Tilt the coupling (2) upward and remove it.
• Loosen the friction adjustment knob (6) by a few turns.
• Loosen the securing screw (7) by a few turns.
• Slightly lubricate the microscope shaft (8) (e.g. with instrument grease
or vaseline).
• Slide the coupling (2) on the microscope shaft (8) from above. Screw
in the mounting screw (5) from above and tighten the securing screw
(4) firmly using a 4 mm Allen key.
