DROP MECHANISM LUBRICATION

Periodic lubrication of the drop mechanisms will insure smooth, crisp drops.  We recommend that you use 3-IN-ONE oil after about 

500 adjustments or once/month, whichever comes first.  If the drops have not been lubricated on a regular basis, it is recommend to first 

clean the plungers using WD-40.  See instructions below.

CERVICAL DROPS

THORACIC & PELVIC DROPS

1.  Elevate the headpiece (as shown) and cock the drop mechanism.

2.  Apply 3-IN-ONE into the hole of the drop mechanism

     housing.  Allow a few minutes for the lubricant to penetrate

     the mechanism before using the headpiece drops. 

1.  Cock each drop section and then tip the table onto its side 

     with the cocking handles.  This will expose the lubrication

     hole in the drop mechanism housing (located on the opposite

     side of the cocking handles).

2.  Apply 3-IN-ONE oil into this hole.  Allow a few minutes

     for the lubricant to penetrate the mechanism before using 

     the drop.

UPHOLSTERY

Normal day to day soil on the vinyl upholstery can be removed 

with neutral soap and warm water followed by a thorough water 

rinse.  Avoid harsh detergents and powdered abrasives.  Areas 

coming in contact with hair, body oils or perspiration should be 

washed frequently.  Remove stains immediately to prevent the 

possibility of them becoming permanent.  In the event of damage, 

pre-sewn replacement upholstery is available from Thuli Tables.

   

Care & Maintenance

If the drops have not been lubricated on a regular basis:

Routine lubrication:

1.  First clean the plunger from accumulated dust and debris

     by applying WD-40 (as described above) and then drop the

     headpiece several times. 

2.  Apply 3-IN-ONE oil to lubricate the drops (as described

     above).

Routine lubrication:

If the drops have not been lubricated on a regular basis:

1.  First clean the plungers from accumulated dust and debris by

     applying WD-40 (as described above) and then drop the 

     section several times. 

2.  Apply 3-IN-ONE oil to lubricate the drops (as described above).

TENSION CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

The set screw on the bottom of the thoracic, pelvic and caudal 

drop mechanisms can be adjusted (using an 1/8” allen wrench)

so that the tension control rod has more or less resistance. 

See photo above. 

Increase resistance: Turn the set screw clockwise. This is 

helpful if the tension control rod is “backing out" while using 

the drop.

Decrease resistance:  Turn the set screw counter-clockwise.
