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).
2.6 Additional equipment
Nose opening (optional equipment)
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
steel gripping disc at the end. To insert the holding bar, feed the guide cotter pin of the stainless steel bar into the
rear hole of the angle mount bracket/retaining bracket. Then push the sleeve with the gripping disc against the
spring force and feed the front guide cotter pin into the second hole. Then relieve the spring tension on the sleeve.
To release the paper roll holder, proceed in the same way.
Push handles (model dependent or optional)
Depending on the actual equipment, push handles are located either at the end of the head part or the foot part, or
on both sides. When moving the table, always use both hands on the push handles to push/pull the table.
Side guard (model dependent or optional):
Insertable side guard
To remove the side guard, undo the two black knurled screws underneath the upholstery and pull out the side
guard. To insert the side guard, place the two guide pins in the locating holes and push the side guard
forward up to the stop/upholstery. Tighten both knurled screws. Before using the side guard, make sure the
two knurled screws are tightened properly (proceed in the same way with the second side guard, if
applicable). When not in use, the side guard can also be inserted into the mount the other way round, i.e. with
the rail pointing downwards. Remember to fix the side guard in place by tightening the two knurled screws
even when not in use.
Please note:
Never use the side guard as a push handle. It has not been designed for this purpose.
Foldable side guard
Folding down the side guard: Grasp the side guard with one hand in the middle of the guard frame at the top
(or with two hands on the left and right at the top). Pull up the side guard evenly, thereby extracting the two
guide pins from the guides. Subsequently turn the side guard outwards slightly and hold it loosely, allowing
