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.
Head part adjustment using ratchets
Head part adjustment is enabled by two metal ratchets. Grasp the top of the head part in the centre and lift it
up to the desired inclination, the ratchets engage automatically. To lower the head part, lift it up as far as it will
go, the ratchets thus disengage. Subsequently lower the head part to the bottom end position.
Head part adjustment using a gas spring (models 2006XLE, 2006XL/H, 2007XLE, 2007XL/H)
The head part is adjusted using a gas spring. To operate, press the release lever in the direction of the
upholstery. The upholstery part is lifted slowly to the positive end position. To lower, press down the
upholstery part and operate the release lever at the same time. Once the desired position has been reached,
let go of the release lever. The strength of the gas spring ensures ease of adjustmen
t despite the patient’s
weight. The corresponding upholstery part can also be folded down 90° on these models. To do so, press and
hold down the release lever and swivel the upholstery part until it is folded down.
Head part adjustment using an electric motor (optional)
The head part is adjusted using a separate electric motor. By operating the hand switch, the inclination of the
head part can be varied steplessly and adjusted according to your needs. Please observe section 7.
Depending on the respective design, the motor is equipped with a freewheeling device. As a result, the motor
declutches automatically if an obstacle is encountered.
Always observe: There must be no persons in the adjustment range of the head part.
2.4 Adjustment of other sections
Adjustment of the lying surface to the inclined position (Trendelenburg position) using a gas spring
Adjustment to the Trendelenburg position takes place using a gas spring. Grasp the push handle with your
hands. Then pull the release lever at the end of the foot part towards you. The lying surface (at the foot part)
is lifted slowly to the positive end position (= head down - feet up - inclined position). To lower, press down the
lying surface and operate the release lever at the same time. Once the desired position has been reached, let
go of the release lever. The strength of the gas spring ensures ease of adjustment to the inclined position
despite the patient’s weight. Consequently, when unloaded, more force is required to adjust the lying surface
horizontally again. Caution is advised, especially with infusions.
Adjustment of the lying surface to the inclined position (Trendelenburg position) using an electric
motor
The foot part is adjusted using a separate electric motor. By operating the hand switch, the inclination of the
foot part can be varied steplessly. Here, too, brief activation (double tap) via the hand switch must take place
beforehand (see section 7). Please note: The inclination adjustment of the foot part also influences the
inclination of the head part (as they are interconnected). With the head part in a negative position, at
maximum inclination and when lowering the table at the same time to the lowest position, attention must be
paid to the head part. Should the head part come into contact with the floor, the gas spring is automatically
triggered and the head part is lifted in the positive direction. This is for emergency use only and is associated
with noise. Always observe: There must be no persons in the adjustment range of the entire lying surface.
Caution is advised, especially with infusions.
Foot part adjustment using a gas spring
The foot part is adjusted using a gas spring. To operate, press the release lever at the end of the foot part in
the direction of the upholstery. The foot part is lifted slowly to the positive end position. To lower, press down
the foot part upholstery and operate the release lever at the same time. Once the desired position has been
reached, let go of the release lever. The strength of the gas spring ensures ease of adjustment despite the
patient’s weight. Consequently, when unloaded, more force is required to adjust the foot part horizontally
again.
2.5 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.
