If the levellers are too loose they might scrape the floor thus avoiding the correct operation of the
wheels.You should then wind the levellers tightly before moving the table around and fix them again once
thetable’s installed. In soft floors (fitted carpets, rugs) the wheels won’t operate properly as they may
getjammed.
b) LOAD capacity
This item has been tested to support a MAXIMUM STATIC WEIGHT of 150 Kg evenly distributed all over.
* In case this weight is exceeded a safety device will automatically start-up. As a result the table might
gradually move downwards regardless of the motor activation. Reduce the load in order to restore the
proper operation of the table.
Absolutely avoid leaning on the very edge for support as it may tilt over.
If pressure on a reduced area exceeds the allowed weight, the table upholstery could split up. Keep the
patients from getting on by their knees.The maximum weight limit of every table section is 50 kg.
To get on the table, first lower the table to the required position in order to allow an easier access. The
patient must seat at the middle of the table, raise his legs and lean on his side.
Then, he can lie down. Weight must necessarily be distributed evenly and not concentrated on either side
of the table.
When getting down the table different procedures apply depending on the position of the patient.
Therefore, if he is lying down (prone position) he has to slide gently towards the middle of the table, lean
on his side and go up by standing on his arms. He will then be able to put his legs out by the table’s side
and easily stand up.
If the patient is lying upwards he will have to stand on his arms, get back to a seated position and then go
down the table.
* Caution: Never use the head or back rest sections to lean forward as these parts are not aimed at
supporting such a pressure and the table could consequently tilt over.
c) HEIGHT adjustment
The central height of the table is operated by an electric motor.
To operate the supply cable must be plugged into a 220-230 V socket.
SAFELY POSITION PATIENT BEFORE TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
Do not insert hands, feet or garments into the moving parts of the elevating mechanism as
this could result in serious injuries.
For adjusting the height use the foot pedal. Press the foot control switch pedal: left downwards / right
upwards.
d) SECTIONS adjustment
The head-/backrest section is operated by a gas spring (3)
Modular system manually operated by levers (5).
(3) Gas spring: Press the mechanism situated at the very edge of the section towards the upholstery and
the table section will go up slowly. Release mechanism to lock position. To lower the section, press the
mechanism with one hand and with the other hand, push the section downwards to the required position.
(5) Lever system: With both hands press the 2 levers under every side support to release the bar and
position simultaneously the panel at the required tilting. Release the lever and the support will lock itself.
NEVER adjust any of the table sections WHILE THE PATIENT IS LEANING ON.
Safely position your FINGERS AND HANDS AWAY from the upholstery edge to avoid any
accidental jamming.
