Activating the tilt switch will trigger Persistent Error. Enter Diagnostics before adjust‐
ment in order to run Recover - Persistent Errors to clear the error it causes. If this is not
possible, go in and out of Manual mode to clear error.
Under normal conditions, the gantry tilt switch is closed. Hence when the gantry tilt
switch is closed, the system has high voltage. When this switch is open (scenario when
the gantry tilts), the high voltage will turn off.
Follow the steps described below in order to test this switch. Go into NM Diagnostics be‐
fore starting these steps:

5.5.10.1 Overview
The following checks in this section are to verify that all bolts bearing weight are tight. If
any of the checks fail, the failure must be corrected before the system can be used again
clinically. The following methods are used to determine if a bolt is tight:
n Feeler Gauge: Checking for separation of the joint with a feeler gage. The feeler gage
is used as a probe only. No amount of separation in a joint is acceptable. 0.004” feeler
gage is specified for all of the checks as anything thinner may not have enough stiff‐
ness to stand up to the constant probing that is required. If a feeler gauge of the
specified value is unavailable, use a gauge that is closest to .004”. A “Torque Tighten‐
ing Value” may be given. This is for reference in case of a failure, the torque value for
tightening is available for tightening the bolt checked.
n Applying a specified tightening torque to the bolts in the joint. Typically, two torque
values are given. The first torque value is the specified “check” value which is 70% of
the specified “Torque Tightening Value”. The instructions are to check the torque val‐
ue at the specified “Torque Check Value”. If movement of the bolt is observed (failure),
then the bolt is to be tightened to the value specified as “Torque Tightening Value”. If
no movement of the bolt is observed during the check, the check has passed and no
further action is required.
n Visually inspecting bolt stripes alignment.
If one loose bolt is discovered on a load bearing assembly during the checks in this sec‐
tion, then every load bearing bolt in that assembly should be tightened.
Tighten the assembly bolts using the value from the "Torque Tightening Value" column
in the table below.

Back up nut will trigger Persistent Error. Enter Diagnostics before adjustment in order to
run Recover - Persistent Errors to clear the error it causes. If this is not possible, go in and
out of Manual mode to clear error.
1. Trigger the backup nut sensor by pushing the ball in the direction of the arrow..
Fig. 84: Backup Nut Sensor: Ball
2. As soon as switch is removed, you will observe that the high voltage gets switched
OFF by listening to the high voltage fan or by observing the hand controls lights are
off.
1. Remove the bellows covers on the front PHS to access the ball screw.
2. Use the hand controller to move the front PHS to its upper limit.
3. Wipe off any existing grease (if present) from the acme screw.
4. Use a brush and the Lithium grease cartridge (4352535) to apply grease to the acme
screw..
5. Enter NM diagnostics and run Cycle- front PHS Up/Down; one test at a time only
6. Each axis should be cycled from its minimum to maximum limits at least 3 times. This
will spread the grease that was applied on each axis uniformly.
7. After the cycling has been done, wipe off any excess grease from each axis.

Permanent damage can occur to the cable handler if over rotated. At no time during this
procedure should the cable handler exceed either it’s CW or CCW limit switches.
8. Remove the shroud covering the drive pinion gear. This is necessary because it was
not designed to hold the amount of grease that may drip off in this area during the
grease procedure.
9. Place some plastic sheets, towels, or disposable wipes under the drive pinion gear to
prevent excess grease from hitting the frame and the floor.
10. Before applying any new grease, wipe off any large accumulations of old grease or
debris from the ring, drive gear, gear shroud, and surrounding frame.
11. Obtain the grease (Molub-Alloy 936: Siemens part number 7763803) and caulking
gun (05208124). Cut the tip off the end of the tube so that a 6mm (1/4”) bead will be
able to flow.
12. The grease must be applied at the location shown below while the ring is rotating
clockwise. The clockwise ring rotation will act to pull the grease into the meshing
teeth of the ring and drive gears and spread it across the width of the teeth.
Fig. 90:
13. Enter NM diagnostics and select Cycle-Gantry Rotate from the diagnostic list. Enter 5
for number of cycles when asked by the system. This will cause the gantry to rotate 5
times back and forth between it’s minimum and maximum limits.
14. The ring will first rotate CCW from the home position to it’s CCW end of travel. Point
the caulking gun at approximately the middle of the teeth (position 1 in the picture
above). Start dispensing a continuous bead of grease as soon as the gantry starts ro‐
tating CW for the first time. Continue dispensing the grease for one full revolution of
the ring. After the grease has been applied for one revolution, allow the ring to con‐
tinue rotating CW until it’s end of travel, then allow the ring to rotate CCW back to it’s
starting point.
15. The process of re-greasing a previously greased ring should consume approximately
1/3 of the tube of grease (corresponds to 65 - 74 mm or 2.5” - 3” of travel on the
caulking gun handle).
If the ring starts out looking dry (typical if the previous grease application was inade‐
quate), then as much as 3/4 amount of the tube is needed.
16. Allow the ring to rotate back and forth between it’s limits four additional times until it
stops. These additional revolutions will act to mostly spread the grease across the full
width of the teeth. Much of the grease will be squeezed out onto the wipes below
while this is occurring.
17. Some dry spots may be present, use a brush and spread grease across full width of all
teeth. Use hand controller to rotate ring in increments of 20 to 30 degrees until the
