patients from getting on by their knees.
To get on the couch the patient must seat at the middle section. Then he can lean back.
When getting down the couch 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 couch, lean
on his side and lean forward 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, raise the backrest and lower the leg section so that he gets back to a seated
position enabling him to go down the couch.
* Caution: The patient's weight must necessarily be concentrated at the middle section. Never use the
back or feet sections to lean forward as the couch is not aimed at such a use and could unbalance.
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.
For adjusting the height use the foot pedal. Press the foot control switch pedal: left downwards / right
upwards.
* 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 a gas spring (3)
The feet section is operated by knob/lever (1)
(1) Knob/Lever: With one hand, loosen the knob or lever to release the bar. With the other hand, position
the section at the required tilting. Release the knob or lever and the section will lock itself.
(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 chair, you should do the dusting regularly with a cloth.
Periodically check visually for any signs of damage and make sure that all bolts, nuts and other fasteners
are tight.
Please note that the repeated exposure of the table to high levels of humidity is not recommended.
b) Electric motor
Keep this piece free from any dust or grease. Absolutely avoid spilling liquids on the motor because they
could cause severe damage to the electric components despite the motor protection.
The handling of the electric motor is totally forbidden. Any manipulation will invalidate the
guarantee.
A non-stop blinking operation of the foot rail or any other height adjustment mechanism could activate the
thermal protection of the motor due to an overheating.
Examine the table periodically for any signs of damage or malfunction and contact immediately
