Electrical Variable Speed (EVS)
The EVS provides an easy to use speed control for the flexion motor. You will find
the EVS control panel on the left side of the table under the caudal cushion. Simply
turn the knob to change flexion speed. Rate adjustment is unrestricted between 30
cycles per minute (standard) and 0 cycles per minute.

Variable Height
(Maximum Weight Limit 350 pounds)
The variable height (uplift) incorporates an electric actuator to adjust the table
precisely to any height between either 18.5 to 24 inches or 21 to 29 inches. The
uplift allows easy on/off for patients and greater comfort for the practitioner.
Because the torso and leg sections adjust independently; the uplift also allows the
therapist to choose the exact range of flexion OR extension.
The front and caudal sections of the table are let independent of each other,
allowing the front section of the table to elevated while the caudal section remains
down (
see figure 18
). Also, the caudal section may be raised while the front
section remains down (
see figure 19
). To raise or lower the caudal section,
support the weight of it with one hand and, with the other hand, squeeze the control
located under the left side (similar to the adjustable ankle support). Position the
section as desired and release the control to lock it in place.
Importan
t: Figures 18 & 19 demonstrate the positioning combination extremes
available. Improper positioning could cause the patient’s spine to be placed into
extreme flexion.
DO NOT TURN ON FLEXION WHILE TABLE AT MAX HEIGHT
Extension (figure 18). Use caution when taking advantage of these features. Also,
DO NOT put the table in the (figure 18) position at any time while operating
the flexion motor.
The table is not designed to use these two positioning extremes
in conjunction with the flexion motor and it is possible to injure your patient’s back
or spine. It is recommended that if you wish to increase the amount of flexion that
you raise front section 2-3 inches relative to the caudal section. It is further
recommended that the caudal section never be lowered more than 50% of the
distance that the front section is raised when operating the flexion motor.
