CAUTIONS
Do not place either heavy accessories, or, long
accessories that could impose high torques,
to the side rails, as this may lead to damage of
the rails.
Do not exceed the duty cycle for any table
motor drive as detailed in the technical data
section 9.5.5.
Moving the table over soft floors (e.g. carpet
or ‘cushion’ flooring) will increase resistance
to movement compared to normal hospital
‘hard’ flooring and care should be taken.

one or two seconds each):
Trendelenburg / reverse Trendelenburg

Break Up /Down
Then check at least two of the above plus Trendelenburg
using the Standby control panel.

Series of table are listed in section 7.0. Use of other
equipment with the T20 tables should only be considered
after evaluating the safety of the patient and personnel.
