• When detaching the distal cover, forcefully grasping other
parts of the bending section can result in damage to the
bending mechanism of the bending section or deform its
covering.
• After the distal cover has been removed, make sure not to
subject the forceps elevator to impact or bend the elevator
wire during cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, storage or
preparation of the endoscope. This could adversely affect the
function of the forceps elevator.
