Operation Manual
Suppl. : Patient on a wheelchair
Position the patient on a wheelchair all the
way to the column so that the patient is able
to have the back straighten and sit upright.
When an optional normal-sized base is
used, position the wheelchair so that the
front wheels sit nicely between the base and
rear wheels are free from hitting the base.
When an optional wide base is used, fold up
the foot rests of the wheelchair if necessary
in order to position the wheelchair all the
way to the column.
* Caution

longer backrest or custom-made wheelchairs may interfere with the movement of the
equipment. Under such circumstance, ensure before the acquisition that the wheel chair
does not interfere with the movement of the equipment.
