To remove the column cladding on the operating table,
the height adjustment of the operating table is first
moved to the lowest position.
This can be done using the column keypad or the manual
switch.
Always switch off the operating table afterwards,
disconnect the mains plug from the socket and remove
the battery fuse from the base so that the base is zero-
voltage.
The next step is to remove the 12 screws on the upper
column cladding (see Fig. 4).
4 screws [2] are located on the top side, 4 more on the
bottom side [2] and 2 screws [3] both on the front and
the back. When the screws [2] are loosened, the bellows
retaining brackets [4] are released at the same time.
When all screws have been removed and the bellows
retaining brackets have been dismantled, the left-hand
upper cladding half [5] can now be removed. To dismantle
the right-hand top cladding half [6], the ribbon cable
must first be removed from the column keyboard board.

4.3 Checking the oil level
To check the oil level, you should first expose the table column as described in chapter
“Removal of the column cladding” described.
Proceed as follows to check the oil level in the hydraulic system:
1. Move the table to the lowest position.
2. In addition, tilt the table to the head-down position, as far as this is possible without any collision.
3. Then tilt the table to the left (as seen by the patient), as far as this is possible without any collision.
4. Fold the backrest down, as far as this is possible without any collision.
5. For the 601920 operating table, you must also lower the leg plates, as far as this is possible without any collision.
6. On operating tables 601700 and 601920 you must also lower the upper backrest, as far as this is possible without any
collision.
All installed cylinders are now largely retracted. This means that the highest possible filling level in the oil tank must be
ensured! Ideally the oil level is approx. 20 mm below the upper tank cap
WARNING
Avoid collisions between the top frame and the base!
Serious damage can occur if all the previously described functions are moved to the end position!
To top up the oil, remove the filler cap [1] and top up the
hydraulic oil via a funnel!

4.5 Replacing the distributor board
To remove the distributor board, the column cladding
must be removed (see chapter Removing the column
cladding).
Document the position of the cables before starting the
disassembly in order to be able to reassemble them later
in their original position.
First remove the electrical wiring. It proves helpful to
document the position of the wiring before dismantling
in order to be able to return it to its original position
afterwards. Then remove the two screws[1] to remove the
distributor board.
The assembly is carried out in the reverse order. Please
note that after the installation of the new distributor
board, the calibration program must be carried out (see
chapter Calibration).
The cable assignment can be taken from the cable diagram.
HAZARD
Danger of electric shock!
Before starting to replace the distributor board, you must put the operating table in a zero-voltage state, otherwise there is a
risk of electric shock.

4.6 Replacing the distributor board
To replace the displacement encoder system of the
height adjustment, it is necessary to remove the column
cladding.
Please refer to the relevant chapters of this repair manual
for instructions!
After the column cladding has been removed, the bracket
must now be loosened by means of the two screws [1]
and carefully guided towards the potentiometer. When
installing the wire-rope pull potentiometer, also make
sure that the wire-rope does not snap upwards. This can
damage the wire-rope potentiometer.
Now the two screws [2] can be removed from the
lifting column and the displacement encoder can be
dismounted. Then remove the wire-rope pull eyelet from
the mounting bracket.
In the next step the wiring must be traced back to the
connection point and removed from the distributor
board. Document the position of the cables and the cable
ties before starting the disassembly. When installing the
new cable, replace the cable ties in their original position.
Now the displacement encoder system can be replaced.
The installation of the new displacement encoder system
is carried out in the reverse order, kindly note that after
the installation of the new displacement encoder system,
the calibration programme must be carried out (see
chapter calibration).
The cable assignment can be taken from the cable
diagram.

4.6.3 Displacement encoder system of the Trendelenburg adjustment
To replace the displacement measuring system of the
Trendelenburg adjustment, the column cladding must be
removed.
You will find instructions for this in the corresponding
chapters of this manual!
Before dismantling the displacement encoder system, it
is important to place a mark [1] on the cylinder so that
when the new displacement encoder is installed, the
position of the driver can be adjusted at the same height
to the cylinder.
After this, the driver [2] and the hose clamp [3] must be
removed.

The driver must be installed in its original position during assembly.
Now the screw connection [4] of the displacement
encoder system can be loosened and the system can be
placed on the base.
In the next step the wiring must be traced back to the
connection point and removed from the distributor
board. Document the position of the cables and the cable
ties before starting the disassembly. When installing the
new cable, replace the cable ties in their original position.
As a result, the driver holding plate must be removed
from the displacement encoder by loosening the screw
joint [5] and installed in the new displacement encoder
system.
Now the displacement encoder system can be replaced.
The assembly of the new displacement encoder system
is done in the reverse order. Please note that after the
installation of the new displacement encoder system, the
calibration programme must be carried out (see chapter
Calibration).
The cable assignment can be taken from the cable
diagram.

4.6.4 Displacement encoder system of lateral adjustment
To replace the displacement measuring system of
the lateral adjustment, the column cladding must be
removed. Please refer to the relevant chapters of this
manual for instructions!
Before dismantling the displacement encoder system, it
is important to place a mark [1] on the cylinder so that
when the new displacement encoder is installed, the
position of the driver can be adjusted at the same height
to the cylinder.
After this, the driver [2] and the hose clamp [3] must be
removed.

4.6.5 Displacement encoder system of the back plate adjustment
4.6.5.1 Replacement on model 601700
To dismantle the distance measuring system of the lower
backrest cylinders, the cladding, pelvic padding plate and
support should be removed beforehand. Please refer to
the relevant chapters of this manual for instructions!
First remove the screw connection [1] of the adjustment
rod of the displacement encoder system below the
transition joint of the right backrest rail.
Then, remove the two screws[2] for fixing the
displacement encoder system. These are located on the
side between the joint box and the pelvic rail.
In the next step the wiring must be traced back to the
connection point and removed from the distributor
board. Document the position of the cables and the
cable ties before starting the disassembly. Now the
displacement encoder system can simply be pulled out of
the pelvic rail to the back. When installing the new cable,
replace the cable ties in their original position.
WARNING
Do not pull on the adjustment rod of the displacement encoder system, as this could pull the tab of the system out of the
rail and render the system useless.
WARNING
When installing the new cable, replace the cable ties in their original position.
