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.
To get on the table 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.
c) Height adjustment
The central height of the table is operated by an electric motor.
The motor supplied in our electric tables is sent disconnected. Before plugging the table in, connect the air
pipes according to the attached instructions.
To operate the supply cable must be plugged into a 220-230 V socket.
The height adjustment is done by smoothly pushing sideways (right/ left) the foot rails located around the
base of the table.
* Caution: DO NOT press down the foot rails; this is not a footswitch.
The scissor-shaped tables may present a certain vibration, especially when going up or down without any
load. This vibration does not mean the table to be abnormal.
* Caution: 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.
d) Sections adjustment
The head-/backrest section is operated by a gas spring (3)
The central section is operated by rack (2)
(2) Rack: Lift the section up to the required position and the rack will position itself automatically. To lower
the section, first raise it up to a certain extend or completely (as appropriate) in order to release the rack.
* The hinges on both sides must be properly fixed and positioned at the same height.
(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.
* Caution: Never adjust any of the table sections while the patient is leaning on.
Safely position your fingers and hands away from the upholstery edge in order to avoid any
accidental jamming.
3) MAINTENANCE
* Warning: For safety reasons, disconnect the table from the electrical supply before the table
cleaning, repair or servicing.
a) Metal frame
For a proper operation of the table, you should do the dusting regularly with a cloth.
We also recommend to periodically grease the axles at the moving parts with a liquid grease spray. Lay
the couch on its side and take off the white caps protecting the nuts at the axles of the framework. Slightly
unscrew the nuts and spray the product around the loosen nuts. Leave to settle in this position for 12
hours. Tighten the nuts and put the protective white caps back on. Lay the table on the other side and
repeat.
Periodically check couch visually for any signs of damage and make sure that all bolts, nuts and other
