Introduction
Before operating this unit, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully read
and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page.
WARNING
Injury could result if the table moves during procedures or examinations or while a patient is getting on or off
the table. Always engage the brakes unless the table is being moved. Push on the table to ensure the brakes
are securely locked.
Do not attempt to move the unit sideways while the steer system is engaged. It will be difficult to move and
injury to the operator may result. When the pedal in is the neutral position, the steering wheel will retract and
the unit can be moved in all directions.
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, when moving the surgery platform, be sure the I.V. poles are
lowered sufficiently to clear the tops of doors or other overhead obstructions.
Do not rest your feet on the cover of the surgery table base. Injury may occur, especially if the litter is lowered
while in a non−horizontal position.
To avoid injury, keep hands/fingers clear of area between the litter frame and the Fowler when lowering the
Fowler.
To avoid injury, keep hands/fingers clear of the area between the litter frame and the foot section when lower-
ing the foot section.
Always hold the foot section when adjusting it. The foot section may rise too quickly and injury may result.
To avoid injury, always support the patient's feet and legs when removing the foot section.
Do not sit on the foot section. Sitting on the foot section may result in a fall and injury. When the load on the
foot section exceeds 150 pounds, the foot section will lower to prevent the unit from tipping.
To avoid patient falls and injury, always use proper patient restraints when positioning the surgery table litter
in Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg or in lateral tilt.
To avoid injury, be sure the siderail latching mechanisms are holding properly at all times.
When repositioning the siderails, grasp the top rail to avoid potential pinch points.
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the side-
rail spindles or injury could occur.
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, remove equipment from the foot end accessory rail before chang-
ing the position of the foot section and from the Fowler accessory rail before changing the position of the Fowl-
er.
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, remove I.V. poles from the foot end receptacles before lowering
the foot section.
CAUTION
When transporting the surgery table, push from the head end at the top of the Fowler frame to avoid damaging
the unit. Do not use the Fowler release handle as a push/pull device. Damage to the Fowler could result.
To avoid damage, move any equipment that may hinder motion before raising or lowering the table height
and positioning the table.
If the unit is positioned in reverse Trendelenburg with the foot section lowered, the foot section may contact
the floor. To avoid damaging the unit, raise the litter or raise the foot section to the flat position before position-
ing the unit in reverse Trendelenburg.
The weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
The hood may not be used for stepping.
Note
The bottom of the brake rings should be cleaned regularly to prevent wax and/or floor remnant buildup
