28. Using the Articulating Leg Section
To articulate the leg section, pull up on the leg frame lever and push down on the
board. To remove the leg section refer to Section 16.
NOTES:
With the articulating leg section the leg section should be articulated down
to the maximum angle before being removed. This shortens the distance
between the end of the leg section and the mounting sockets. This does
two things; one, it provides better access to the release buttons, and two, it
reduces the distance that the user has to reach to support the weight of the
articulating leg section.
When replacing the articulating leg section pull the actuation handle to
operate the gas struts and allow the location spigots to achieve a horizontal
position.
CAUTION: With the leg section articulated down caution must be exercised
when tilting the trolley leg down, i.e. into a reverse Trendelenburg
position.
CAUTION: With the articulating leg section articulated downwards, the
patient platform cannot be traversed towards the head end passed the
neutral position.
29. Using the Dual-articulating Head Positioner
The trolley is designed to allow for various head section options to be fitted; refer to
Section 15. ‘Using the Head Section’. To remove a head section, lift the release handle
fig.17 (C), then lower and remove the head section from the support bracket; this is
illustrated in fig’s. 6 and 7.
The head positioner articulates on 2 axes, (A) and (B). Pulling on lever (A) allows the
head piece of the positioner to articulate on axis (A). Pulling on lever (B) allows the neck
piece to articulate on axis (B); see fig. 17. Using the levers in combination the head
positioner can be elevated up and in towards the body section mattress as shown in
fig’s. 18 and 19.
NOTE:
The maximum weight limit for the dual-articulating head section is 25kg.
CAUTION: When releasing the levers it is important to support the weight
of the patients head. Failure to do so could result in injury to the patient.
