RECONDITIONING AND SERVICE
! Important information for reconditioning and servicing REAL 9200 chairs (hereinafter referred to as the
Product):
- The Product does not require periodic maintenance in cases where it has a responsible prescriber in
the healthcare sector. In markets outside Sweden and Norway where a distributor has sold the Product
directly to the user (where applicable), and therefore there is no responsible prescriber, periodic
maintenance must be carried out every other year throughout the Product’s entire life cycle according to
sections 1-10 in this section.
- A thorough visual inspection must be performed of the Product’s main components in connection
with service and reconditioning in order to ensure the user’s safety. These include the base, lifting
mechanism, seat frame, back recliner and U-bars for armrests. The inspection must include welds,
lockable functions and settings.
- The user must not sit in the Product while it is being reconditioned or serviced or during maintenance.
- Do not use high pressure washers when cleaning the Product.
- When checking the base, always inspect the weld between the base’s front and rear legs. Any indication
of cracks in the material or paint in this area should be regarded as reason to replace the base, or the
Product.
- In case of reduced braking action, check both the stability of the base and the condition of the brake
rubber. If the Product is not resting on all four wheels in the unbraked position, the Product must be
withdrawn from service immediately. Check for instability in different locations and directions to rule out
the floor as the cause of any instability.
1. Electronics unit
1.1. Electronics/function/
cleaning
Check the electronics and see which
electrical functions are connected.
Test electrical functions; if the chair
does not work, try connecting the
charger for at least 10 seconds.
Check for any damage to the
electronics box.
1.2. Control unit / function /
cleaning
Check the functions of the controls,
and check that the housing is intact

to avoid the risk of cross-infection.
Do not use solvents, bleach,
polishes, synthetic detergents,
polishing waxes or sprays on the
chair.
1.3. Connectors / attachment

are intact and properly secured.
Make sure that cables and
connectors cannot be pinched or
crushed.
1.4. Batteries/battery charger/
function
Check that the charger is working
and that the housing and cables are
undamaged.
Check the batteries’ voltage
and that there is not too great a
difference between the batteries’
charge; this indicates that a battery
cell has failed.
1.5. Electric seat tilt / function
Check that the actuator is not visibly
damaged. Check the function of the
actuator’s moving parts. Ensure that
all locking screws are tightened to
avoid any play in the end position.
1.6. Electric backrest / function
Check that the actuator is not visibly
damaged. Check the function of the
actuator’s moving parts. Ensure that
all locking screws are tightened to
avoid any play in the end position.
1.7. Electric brake / function
Check that the actuator is not visibly
damaged. Check the function of the
actuator’s moving parts. Ensure that
all locking screws are tightened to
avoid any play in the end position.
Check all joints and that the clamp
mounting on the brake shaft and
base tube is correctly positioned.
2. Electric lifting mechanism
2.1. Noise / sliding clutch
Listen for any abnormal noise in
the electric lifting mechanism,
and replace the electric lifting
mechanism if a bearing is defective
in any way. The electric lifting
mechanism can be sent to Mercado
Medic AB for repair/reconditioning.
Load the chair and check that the
electric lifting mechanism does not
slip to lowered. Otherwise ensure
the correct torque for the sliding
clutch.
2.2. Rotation lock / lubrication
Check that there is no play in
the electric lifting mechanism in
the direction of rotation. If there
is, replace the electric lifting
mechanism. The electric lifting
mechanism can be sent to Mercado
Medic AB for repair/reconditioning.
2.3. Attachment / tightening
Check that the seat frame and
base are correctly assembled and
tightened.
2.4. Cabling / wear
Inspect cables for any signs of wear,
pinching or crushing.
