3.2 Lifting the operation table
WARNING
The table is heavy and at least four strong
people are required to lift it. Ensure that
adequate precautions are taken (e.g. wear
protective shoes, use the correct straps).
3.2.1 The T20 Series of table should only be lifted as
a last resort. Ideally it should be placed on a trolley directly
from the delivery vehicle, or moved on the base of the
delivery packing case (overseas only) and then rolled down
the ramp provided.
3.2.2 If required the T20 table should only be lifted by
placing suitable webbing straps underneath the table base
in the positions indicated in Fig. 3.1 (having placed the
T20-a and T20-s tables into their ‘castor’ orientation to
increase ground clearance) and observing the notes that
follow. The table should only be lifted the minimum amount
required and not carried. Lift the table sufficiently high to
allow a fully decked pallet to be slid underneath. The table
should be placed into its ‘braked’ orientation whilst on the
pallet. Transport the table on the pallet using a forklift truck
or similar equipment ensuring the table is strapped securely
to the pallet.
3.2.3 Extreme care should be taken to pad the straps
where they pass the base covers and the table top sections
to avoid damage. Take special care not to cause damage
to the lower edge of the base covers.
3.2.4 Before lifting remove all tabletop sections,
accessories and mattresses, to minimise the weight to
approx. 248kg (T20-a and T20-s tables) or 196kg (T20-m
table). Place the table top into a level plane in both
directions (i.e. tilt and Trendelenburg) and traverse the top
so the long trunk is central to the column as shown in
Fig. 3.1. Lower the short trunk and then the table top to
their maximum limits.
3.2.5 When lowering the table after the lift take care
not trap feet under the tables base. Inspect the table for
any signs of damage and check all functions prior to placing
the table back into service.
3.3 Technical
3.3.1 The following sections are provided for the user
to note prior to using a T20 Series of operation table.
3.3.2 The T20 Series of table meets the requirements
of international standards (see section 9.8) and conforms
dimensionally to meet most requirements, for the full table
technical specification details refer to the Technical Data,
section 9.0.
3.3.3 The table should only be used on an antistatic
floor and is classified as type ‘BF’ (i.e. the table has isolation
from earth equivalent to that of type ‘BF’ equipment when
the mains cord is attached).
3.3.4 The antistatic properties of the table depend upon
the use of the recommended mattresses (i.e. Eschmann
antistatic mattresses ONLY) also see section 3.1.8.
3.3.5 Only Eschmann accessories listed in this manual
should be used on the table and in accordance with the
‘User Handbook’ supplied with the accessory. Accessories
available from Eschmann are listed in section 7.0. Other
accessories, especially those that could compromise table
stability, must not be used. Use of other equipment with
T20 tables should only be considered after evaluating the
safety of the patient and personnel. For accessories that
fit onto the side rail ensure that they are compatible with
the side rail fitted to the table. These tables can be supplied
with standard UK, Euro USA or Denyer style side rails,
see section 1.1.2
3.3.6 Provision of a diagnostic port within the table
enables access for reprogramming the tables software,
down-loading of fault information and service functions.
Use of this port MUST be limited to trained service
personnel only, and should only be used in accordance
with the correct Eschmann manuals (see 3.3.9 below).
3.3.7 The table has four fuses (two on the T20-m) that
the user has access to in the event of failure. The position
of these are shown in Fig. 2.2 and 2.3 and are replaced as
detailed in section 5.3.5.
3.3.8 Eschmann can provide customers with manuals
(see 3.3.9 below), for use by them in maintaining their own
equipment. These manuals contain schematic diagrams,
component part lists, descriptions and calibration
instructions which will assist the customer’s Eschmann
