SECTION 20 COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
Demonstrate and explain unit functions to salesman as follows:
a.
Demonstrate how to position the vertical column and x-ray tube before the mobile unit is moved
to a new location. Emphasize that the latch must be connected to the tatch bar to prevent the
collimator from striking the x-ray control during transport.
Demonstrate the proper operation of the motor drive feature. Emphasize that the motor will
automatically stop when the brake handle is released, or if the bumper is depressed from striking
an object.
Explain that the unit must be manually pulled back to regain drive control if the bumper comes
in contact with any object. If the bumper is bent so it remains recessed, it must be manually
straightened.
Explain that the unit may be transported manuaily if the user desires to or if the drive feature
fails.
Explain that if the motor drive is used very extensively, the batteries will require more frequent
charging.
Explain that the unit does not require charging when the meter reads in the green regions.
Recharging is required only when the meter reads in the red "LOW" region. It is not rec-
ommended that the unit be left on charge when not in use.
Make several x-ray exposures using a phantom or fluoricon test pattern at different settings of KVP
and MAS to check that the unit is functioning properly. Particularly check lamp and tone signal
exposure indicators.
Turn over the six Standby/On/Off Switch keys. Advise that the keys should be given only to a
qualified operator. The keys should not be left on the x-ray unit.
