Ergostyle ™ FX Tables
Read, understand, and follow the Safety Precautions and all other information contained in this
manual.
This manual contains the necessary safety and field service information for those field service
technicians, certified by Chattanooga Group, to perform field service on the Ergostyle FX Tables.
At the time of publication, the information contained herein was current and up-to-date. However,
due to continual technological improvements and increased clinical knowledge in the field of
traction therapy, as well as Chattanooga Group’s policy of continual improvement, Chattanooga
Group reserves the right to make periodic changes and improvements to their equipment and
documentation without any obligation on the part of Chattanooga Group.
It is the sole responsibility for certified field technicians to stay informed and trained in the latest
technology utilized in the Ergostyle FX Tables by Chattanooga Group. From time to time, as
significant improvements are incorporated, service bulletins will be produced and made available
on our web site (chattgroup.com) in lieu of reprinting a complete manual prematurely. These service
bulletins will provide updated service information and technological improvements to the Ergostyle
FX Tables for use by certified service technicians.
Due to the complex nature of the technology utilized by Chattanooga Group, the recommended
troubleshooting techniques are to determine “Bad Board” and board replacement only. No board
component level troubleshooting is recommended, nor will information or parts be supplied by
Chattanooga Group.
Any board component level troubleshooting performed will be at the sole risk and liability of the
certified field service technician performing such troubleshooting techniques. Performance of such
techniques may render the warranty null and void.
Ergostyle FX Tables are prescription devices to be used only under the supervision of and by the
order of a physician or other licensed health care provider.

1.1 PRECAUTIONARY DEFINITIONS
A. Caution
B. Warning
C. Danger
D. Dangerous Voltage
E. NOTE
1.2 PRECAUTIONARY INSTRUCTIONS
A. Cautions
Read, understand, and practice all precautionary
instructions found in this manual. Know the
limitations and hazards associated with use of
these tables. Observe the precautionary and
operational decals placed on the unit.
Do not use accessories other than those supplied
with the unit or recommended by Chattanooga
Group. The safety of other products has not been
established, and their use could result in injury to
the patient.
This unit should be transported and stored in
temperatures between 0°F and 140°F (-18°C
and 60°C) to prevent damage to the unit or its
components.
DO NOT operate this unit in an environment
where other devices are being used that
intentionally radiate electromagnetic energy in
an unshielded manner. Portable and mobile RF
communications equipment can affect Medical
Electrical Equipment.
This unit generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to other devices
in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. Harmful interference to other
devices can be determined by turning this (table,
unit, device, etc.) on and off. Try to correct the
interference using one or more of the following:
reorient or relocate the receiving device, increase
the separation between the equipment, connect
the equipment to an outlet on a different
circuit from that which the other device(s) are
connected and consult the Chattanooga Group
Service Department for help.
The unit should be routinely checked before each
use to determine all controls function normally.
Handle the unit with care. Inappropriate handling
of the unit may adversely affect its characteristics.
Before each use, inspect the table cables and
hoses for wear. Prolonged wear on these
components may cause them to break, which
may cause sudden release of pneumatic pressure.
Test the Patient Switch before each use for power
operation.

or ballpoint pen to operate the buttons on the
Control Panel as damage may result.
Do not permit any foreign materials or liquids
to enter the unit. Take care to prevent any
