of two people are required.
Do not hoist or lift the stretcher holding it by the dashboard or by the general control knob.
The table must lean on a solid and level ground.
The table is supplied with levellers placed in two of the legs. To level the table, simply wind or unwind
them.
Notice: in certain floor surfaces the table legs might leave marks after a prolonged contact. Check the
technical specifications of the floor manufacturer to avoid any trouble.
In order to move the table around, you will need to release the castors by pressing the locking levers
downwards. To lock the castors, simply lift both locking levers upwards with your foot.
These castor wheels are only suitable for moving the table around when required, NOT
intended for patient transportation.
Before the patient lies down MAKE SURE THE CASTORS ARE LOCKED.
If the levellers are too loose they might scrape the floor thus avoiding the correct operation of the
wheels.You should then wind the levellers tightly before moving the table around and fix them again once
thetable's installed. In soft floors (fitted carpets, rugs) the wheels won't operate properly as they may
getjammed.
b) LOAD capacity
This item has been tested to support a MAXIMUM STATIC WEIGHT of 175 Kg evenly distributed all over.
* In case this weight is exceeded a safety device will automatically start-up. As a result the table might
gradually move downwards regardless of the motor activation. Reduce the load in order to restore the
proper operation of the table.
Absolutely avoid leaning on the very edge for support as it may tilt over.
If pressure on a reduced area exceeds the allowed weight, the table upholstery could split up. Keep the
patients from getting on by their knees.The maximum weight limit of every table section is 50 kg.
To get on the table, first lower the table to the required position in order to allow an easier access. The
patient must seat at the middle of the table, raise his legs and lean on his side.
Then, he can lie down. Weight must necessarily be distributed evenly and not concentrated on either side
of the table.
When getting down the table 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 table, lean
on his side and go up 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 he will have to stand on his arms, get back to a seated position and then go
down the table.
* Caution: Never use the head or back rest sections to lean forward as these parts are not aimed at
supporting such a pressure and the table could consequently tilt over.
Caution! The back or feet section are aimed at leaning the back or feet respectively.
Never use these sections to lean forward or to sit down as the table could tilt over due
to an excessive pressure. The maximum weight support of every section is 50 kg.
In case the table is equipped with armrests, you will have to pull them down in order for the patient to get
up / down the side of the table smoothly.
* Caution! The patient must not stand up by leaning on the armrest as it could split. This table part is
