Dewert User Manual Heavy-Weight Tables – Updated 11.2021/3 MDR Page 6 of 14
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.
This castor system has been designed for the high loads caused by heavy patients.
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, depending on the model, 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 (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 (optional):
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). Now pull up the side guard evenly, thereby extracting the
two guide pins from the grooves. Subsequently turn the side guard outwards slightly and hold it loosely,
allowing the side guard to fold down through its own weight. Allow the side guard to fold all the way down until
it engages automatically.
Please note: Due to the two grooves and guide pins, a small amount of force is only necessary when
releasing the lock (= briefly removing the side guard guide pins from the grooves). Do not pull or push when
allowing the side guard to fold down (hardly any force is required).
Folding up the side guard: Grasp the side guard with one hand in the middle of the guard frame at the end
facing downwards (or with two hands on the left and right at the top). Push the side guard upwards and
outwards slightly, thereby releasing the lock. Now hold the side guard loosely and fold it up until it engages.
Please note:
Never use the side guard as a push handle.
Laterally lowerable side guard
Operating the side guard:
Hold the centre of the rail of the side guard with one hand and release it by moving it minimally sideways
(either towards the head or foot part). At the same time, use your other hand to pull out and turn the locking
pin (red knob) located in the centre of the side guard underneath the upholstery frame. Press down or pull up
the side guard using the rail until the locking pin engages audibly. After the locking pin has engaged, the side
guard is secured in place. To check whether the side guard has engaged properly, move it sideways on the
rail (either towards the head or foot part). Only limited movement should then be noticeable.
