CAUTION
The safety interlock system is not
operational when the emergency
back-up control switches are used.
The EMERGENCY BRAKE LOCK
switch does not activate the brake
system timer. The switch must be
held until the brakes are completely
locked (approximately 10 seconds).
NOTICE
The emergency back-up control
switches will function when the table is
operating on AC power or battery power.
Switches are provided for Trendelenburg, lateral tilt,
back section, elevation, leg section, kidney down,
and brake lock. These switches are spring-loaded
so they return to the neutral or center position
when released.
3-13. Emergency Brake Release
In case of power failure or an electrical problem
in the table, the emergency brake release system
can be used to manually release the brakes so
the table can be moved. The control knob for this
function is located on the side of the table base and
identied by an EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE
label. Turn the knob clockwise to release the brakes
(Figure 3-23).

CAUTION
DO NOT unlock brakes when a patient
is on the table. An uneven patient
weight load may cause instability.
If circumstances demand table
brakes to be unlocked:
• Patient must be centered and
evenly distributed on the table
top (i.e., supine or prone position)
with the table lowered to its
lowest height position.
• Maximum patient weight should
not exceed 500 pounds (227 kg).
• Table top rotation must be in
normal orientation with the back
section over the long end of the
table base.
• Patient's head must be on the
head section. Head section
must be attached in its normal
orientation to the table's back
section.
CAUTION
Prior to unlocking brakes, check
for obstructions on the oor that
might prevent the table from moving
smoothly to a new location. Re-lock
the brakes immediately once the
nal position is reached and before
commencing surgery.
To move the table safely, one sta
member should be positioned at
the head end and one at the foot
end. If the patient weight exceeds
250 pounds, (114 kg), four (4) sta
members are required to move the
table and ensure patient safety. If
patient weight exceeds 500 pounds
(227 kg), the table brakes should
remain locked at all times.
NOTICE
The EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE
valve (knob) must be closed and
tightened (counter-clockwise) before
activating any hydraulic function.
If the EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE
valve (knob) has been operated, the
BRAKE UNLOCK button on the pendant
control will have to be pressed to reset
the timer circuit before brakes will lock
again.
