Dear customer,
With the PODOLOG STELLA 3s, you have purchased a treatment con-
cept from RUCK. In the development of the PODOLOG STELLA 3s, the
declared objective was to create an ideal tool for professional users in
the foot care area. The PODOLOG STELLA 3s is based on the Stella
treatment chair, which has proven itself over many years in the foot care
market. A completely new product has been developed with due con-
sideration of the current European Directive 93/42/EEC for medical
devices, a practical, ergonomic mode of operation and the increased
demands imposed on medical practice hygiene. What you have in front
of you now is the synthesis of innovative functions, high-quality and con-
temporary design. With the PODOLOG STELLA 3s as a Class 1 medical
device and more than 90 years of practical experience we underline our
high quality requirements for professional foot care and give you safety
in your day-to-day work.
These operating instructions are a component of the medical device
and must be kept in its immediate vicinity. Please read these operating
instructions carefully all the way through before commissioning the device.
Our treatment chairs are manufactured and assembled in Germany and
are subject to ongoing quality control. Nevertheless, if you are not sat-
isfied or if you have questions please contact our service department.
We sincerely thank you for the trust you have placed in our company
and extend our best wishes for satisfaction in your daily work with your
new treatment chair.

CARRYING EXAMPLE
FIXATION OF THE HEAD SECTION COVER
COMPENSATING FOR FLOOR UNEVENNESS
To achieve maximum stability,
floor unevenness can be com-
pensated using the height adjus-
chair foot plates. To do this, the
foot plates are adjusted in height
by turning.
Then, bond the provided silicone
pads on the four foot plates.
Thus, the chair is securely held
in position and floor coverings of
different types are protected from
scratches. To attach the silicone
pads, first the chair is lifted at the
front, the silicone pads are bond-
ed on the front feet, and then the
same procedure is executed for
the rear feet.
