Adjustment of the head part (and foot part for models 1050E, 1050/H and 1095/H)
The head part is adjusted using a gas spring. To operate, press the release lever, which is located at the end
of the head part underneath the upholstery part, in the direction of the upholstered surface. The head part is
lifted slowly to the positive end position. To lower, press down the head part and operate the release lever at
the same time. Once the desired position has been reached, let go of the release lever.
3-sectioned head part (optional)
The 3-sectioned head part consists of an adjustable head part as described under 2.3 and additional
armrests, which can be lowered and removed steplessly, to the right and left of the head part. The clamping is
released by loosening the knurled screw located underneath each armrest. The armrest can now be pulled
down through a range of approx. 180 mm. Re-clamping takes place by subsequently tightening the knurled
screw. To remove the armrests, loosen the knurled screw located directly underneath the head part. The
complete armrest can then be pulled off the head part from the side. The armrests must not be used for
sitting. They only serve to support the patient’s arms.
2.4 Movability (model dependent or optional):
Individually lockable castors
The castors can be locked using the foot-operated brake on the castor housings. In this case, the castors can
neither be moved nor rotated. To release, operate the brake on each castor again.
Please note:
Standard castors are not electrically conductive = optional equipment.
You can recognise conductive castors via the respective marking = yellow dot on the side of the running
surface or a yellow ring.
With this movability option, access to the patient is improved during examination and treatment thanks to easy
positioning within the room. Transporting patients is not considered as intended use.
Central movability
By operating a lever (on the outside of the table feet), all four castors are activated simultaneously. The
following moving options exist:
Stage 1: The castors of the table are locked and can neither be moved nor rotated.
Stage 2: = centre position: The castors are released and can be moved and rotated, the table can be moved
in all directions.
Stage 3: Three castors are released (= can be moved and rotated). The fourth castor is locked and cannot be
rotated (directionally locked castor), i.e. the wheel rolls in a fixed position and helps to steer the table in the
intended direction.
Please note: Rotational movement is only prevented when the castor is swivelled parallel to the lying surface.
This then allows the table to be moved in a straight line without pulling off to the side.
Wheel-lifting/fixing mechanism
The wheel-lifting/fixing mechanism allows a combination between fixed and movable table. There are two twin
castors on each short side of the underframe and foot levers at each corner. The foot levers consist of two
ergonomically arranged counter holders.
This way, the table can be lifted and lowered quietly with your foot. The wheel-lifting/fixing mechanism is not
controlled centrally; a foot lever must be operated on each short side of the table in order to lower the table
onto its feet or to place it on the castors. This option ensures the device can be simply relocated; however,
the device is not intended for transporting patients (ground clearance (distance foot - ground) when moving
the table is approx. 14 mm).
2.5 Additional equipment
Nose opening
If a nose opening is upholstered in the head part as an optional equipment feature, the opening can be closed
with a cushion (optional). To open up the nose opening, reach under the head part when the table is standing
still and press the cushion out from the bottom upwards (a slight amount of pressure is required). To close it,
simply insert the cushion into the opening (a slight amount of pressure is required).
Paper roll holder (optional equipment)
The paper roll holder consists of a holding bar and angle mount brackets or retaining brackets. In addition to the
stainless steel bar, the paper roll holding bar consists of a spring-loaded stainless steel sleeve featuring a round
