Maintenance should be performed by an approved service engineer every 6 months to ensure the product meets the required standard. The service history of the product should be documented after each service in the service log, located in the back pages of this user manual. When recording the service in the service log, ensure that the serial number of the product matches the serial number in the user manual. Each product is provided with its own user manual.
The sub-sections detail the required inspections and tests for each gantry component during every service. Follow these guidelines to ensure a successful EFS service.

4 . 1 Frame

• Visual inspection of the exterior of the gantry. Significant damage that may affect the function of the gantry, along with a clear safety hazard, is unacceptable.
• Check the labelling on the gantry to ensure they are all still legible, this includes the serial number and other important markings.
• Clean the gantry at the end of each service. See the user manual for cleaning details.
• Check all main nuts and bolts, and pins to see if they are loose; if so, tighten them accordingly.
• Ensure both ratchet pressure mechanisms are functioning as intended and without damaged gearing.

4 . 2 Gantry assembly
• Ensure that the installation of the legs, feet, and track is correct and fitted properly.

4 . 3 Feet
• Inspect the feet for damage, including cracks or bends.
• Ensure that the feet are flat on the floor and the ceiling

4 . 4 Legs
• Ensure the height adjustment of the legs is moving freely and is not jamming.
• Ensure that the locking pins are secured in place with the clips.
• Ensure that the two legs are set to the same pressure (inside the green zone).
• Ensure that the legs are vertical, within the spirit level tolerance.

4 . 5 Track and trolley
• Examine the trolley to ensure that it rotates smoothly.
• Examine the trolley to ensure that it can traverse along the track smoothly.
• Ensure that the track can adjust in length smoothly.

4 . 6 Pressure gauge
• Ensure the pressure gauge indicator is in the green. This indicates that the pressure of the system is okay and safe to use.
