ERGOLINE 600 CLASSIC LIFT FAILING - tanTALK

THE LEFT LIFT ASSEMBLY HAS BROKEN AWAY FROM ITS MOUNT AND THE CANOPY IS PITCHING FORWARD THREE INCHES AND THE BACK INTO PLACE. DOES NOT SEEM CLEAR HOW TO REACH ASSEMBLY WITHOUT TAKING CANOPY OFF. DO THESE FASTENERS SHEAR OFF OR DO THEY FALL OUT?

Call ergoline or suntan supply in Ohio.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE IS THAT THE FASTENERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO VIBRATE OUT. [THERE IS 3] SO I WILL TRACK THEM DOWN AND LOCKTITE THEM IN. ALSO COMMON KNOWLEDGE IS TO NOT MESS WITH OPENING AND CLOSING THE CANOPY WHEN ITS NOT ATTACHED CAUSE IT CAN REALLY PITCH FORWARD TILL IT BREAKS.

There is a hinge on each side with 3 small screws. The screws may be out OR the hinge may be broken. You can replace the screws with the canopy in place.

Other possibilities - the "roller" at the bottom (down by the leg in the tub) may have gotten "grooved" and so not operating properly. Or the wire cable shredded.

Investigate carefully and make sure you get the right fix! Having that canopy fail and fall on a client will surely result in a broken limb and it could be worse!!

AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THE 5 SCREWS THAT ATTACH THE LIFT ASSEMBLY TO THE END CAP, BROKE OUT OF THEIR MOUNTS. AT LEAST IT CAN BE REPAIRED.
