− Do not use multiple portable socket
outlets (MPSO) to connect the device
to the power line. The ARTROMOT®-K1
classic must be connected to a
properly installed wall outlet with a
non-fused earthed wire.
Before connecting the power cord,
it must be completely unrolled and
placed such that it will not get caught
in the moving parts of the device.
− Before cleaning and service interven-
tions, disconnect the unit from the
power line by removing the power
cord from the wall outlet.
− Liquids must not be allowed to
enter the CPM device or the control
pendant.
If liquids have entered into the devic-
es, the ARTROMOT®-K1 classic must
be immediately checked by a service
technician, before it can be reused.
Warning!
m
Equipment malfunction –
− Magnetic and electrical fields are
capable of interfering with the proper
performance of the unit. For this
reason make sure that all external
devices operated in the vicinity of the
device comply with the relevant EMC
requirements. X-ray equipment, MRI
devices, radio systems, cell phones,
etc. are possible sources of interfer-
ence as they may emit higher levels of
electromagnetic radiation.
Keep the device away from such
equipment and verify its performance
before use.
− Refer repair and maintenance to
authorized persons.
Persons are authorized after training
by a specialist trained and commis-
sioned by the manufacturer.
− Route all cables below the device
frame to either side, ensuring that
they cannot get caught by the moving
parts during operation.
− Check the ARTROMOT®-K1 classic
for damage and loose connections at
least once a year. Damaged and worn
parts must immediately be replaced
with original spare parts by autho-
rized staff.
Caution!

Preventing chafing and pressure sores –
When your patient is adipose, very tall
or very short, be sure to prevent chafing
and pressure sores. Place the leg con-
cerned in a moderate abduction position
if deemed appropriate.
Caution!
m
Equipment damage –
− Check that the voltage and frequency
ratings of your local power line are
those indicated on the nameplate.
– The leg support element withstands
a maximum continuous load of:
20 kg serial number < 20,000 /
25 kg serial number > 20,000
− Do not allow any objects (such as
blankets, cushions, or cables) to get
caught in the moving parts of the
unit.
− Do not expose the ARTROMOT®-K1
classic to direct sunlight, because
some of the components may warm
up excessively.
Furthermore, the device must be set
up at a safe distance from radiators to
prevent excessive temperature rises.
− The presence of children, pets and
rodents does not normally impair the
functioning of the device. However,
avoid contamination of the device by
children or animals, from dust and
lint, and keep them at a safe distance
from the device. The safety state-
ments set forth apply.
