The extreme positioning capabilities of the 6000
Series Table requires special attention for possible
interference points when using multiple function
positioning. As with the operation of any surgical
table, a certain amount of care should be exercised
to position the patient safely. Although the thick
pads and sheets substantially protect the patient,
pinch points, located at the joints of the top section
should always be considered. BE SURE THAT
THE ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS OF THE
PATIENT AND THOSE OF THE OPERATING
ROOM PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF ALL MOV-
ING PARTS BEFORE MOVING THE TABLE.
Proper restraints should always be used for patient
safety.
Certain accessories such as the Uro-Drain Tray,
Armboards and X-Ray top can be damaged when
changing the position of the table top sections.
Always look first to see if a desired movement is
going to interfere with any accessories in use.
The operator has the ultimate responsibility of
preventing damage to the table and surrounding
equipment or possible injury to the patient or staff.
In general, common sense will dictate when there
is a potential hazard.
The following precautions should be reviewed
by all personnel prior to operating the table.
WARNING
DO NOT use the table in the presence of FLAM-
MABLE GASES (Flammable gases are not com-
monly used in the U.S.).
NOTE
In case of a power failure or an electrical problem
within the table, the emergency brake release
system can be used to move the table. The control
lever for this function is located on the side of the
table base and is identified by an EMERGENCY
BRAKE RELEASE label. Turn the lever counter-
clockwise to release the brakes.
IMPORTANT
•The Emergency Brake Release Valve must be
closed and tightened (clockwise) before any hy-
draulic function will operate.
•If the Emergency Brake Release Valve has been
operated, the UNLOCK button on the pendant
control will have to be pressed before brakes will
lock again.
WARNING
DO NOT unlock brakes when a patient is on the
table. An uneven patient weight load may cause
instability.
NOTE
If brakes fail to set, make sure the Emergency
Brake Release Lever is tight (clockwise).
IMPORTANT
The leg section may hit the table base or the floor
if both the leg and elevation systems are placed in
their full down position.
WARNING
Always lock the table top in position after rotation.
DO NOT rotate the top with an unevenly distributed
patient weight load as instability may result.
WARNING
•Make sure the TOP ROTATION LOCK HANDLE
is tightened and the brakes are set before transfer-
ring the patient.
•Exercise caution with the table top rotated 90° to
the base since an improperly distributed patient
weight load may cause the table to be tipped over.
NOTE
Normal table top position is with the head (and
back) section over the power cord end of the base.
NOTE
With an evenly distributed patient weight load, all
table positioning functions will operate smoothly
and quietly with a patient weight of up to 500
pounds.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the kidney lift, make sure the
kidney lift is completely down before raising the
back section.
CAUTION
DO NOT sit on the end of the leg sections (6000
Series) as damage may result.
