Table Care
2.1 Cleaning your Table
Hill table upholstery may be cleaned with Hill Laboratories' Vinyl and
Leather Cleaner or any household dishwashing liquid mixed with water. Hill
also offers Protex™Disinfectant Spray and wipes to protect against
pathogens, such as MRSA, HIV, Staph and the H1N1 Swine Flu Virus. Many
stubborn stains can be removed by applying 91% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl
alcohol) to the stain and wiping with a dry, soft, lint-free cotton cloth, towel or
soft bristle brush. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with water.
Caution: Some solvents are highly flammable; do not use near open flame
or intense heat. Wear rubber gloves during all cleaning activities. When
cleaning other parts of your table (besides upholstery) use only nonabra-
sive household detergents and water.
2.2 Caution and Symbol Explanation
Caution: Children should never be left alone in a room with the table but
should always be accompanied by an adult.
Caution: Always unplug the table before performing any maintenance.
Caution: Check table once a year to make sure all internal and external
bolts are secure.
Caution: The power cord should be located to avoid risk of tripping or
having objects rolled over or placed on top of it. Damaged cords should
be replaced with another of hospital grade.
Caution: rounding reliability can only be achieved when connected to an
equivalent receptacle marked hospital only or hospital grade.

Basic Table Operation
3.1 Preparing the 90C for your patient
Plug your table into any 110 volt grounded outlet (or 220 volt - international).
Paper Roll - Feed the paper through the face
cutout, around the paper bar (just below the
cutout) and over the headpiece (photo 1).
Close the paper cutter located on the side of
the headpiece and tear off excess paper.
Preparing the Air System (option)
For air models, press the Power button of
the main Control Panel (photo 3). Each of
the function buttons will light consecutively
and then turn off. The table’s air-compressor
may also turn on to replenish the air-supply.
The compressor will stop when the pressure
reaches 90 lbs.* See 4.2, “Using Air-Drops” for
air-feature instructions. *If the air-compressor
runs for more than 2-3 minutes, call for service
(see page 11).
Note: The Air90C is equipped with an Auto Shutdown mode which will power
down the main control board if the table is inactive for 2 hours. Press the green
power button to power the board back up.
3.2 Height Pedal
The basic 90C is equipped with a corded foot pedal which controls the height.
The Air90C features a dual Rocker Foot Pedal (#9 under “Product Features”)
which controls the table height from either side of the base. Press the right
side of either pedal to elevate; the left side to lower.
Auto-Touch Foot Pedal (option)
The Auto-Touch Foot Pedal option maintains upward or downward motion
after releasing the pedal. To operate:
- When the table is at the lowest height, double-touch the “UP” arrow and release.
The table will continue upward until you tap either side of the pedal again.
- When the table is at maximum height, double-touch the “DOWN” arrow and re-
lease. The table will continue downward until you tap either side of the pedal again.
- When the table is at any starting height in between, a single-touch up or down
will start and stop the motion.
3.3 Function Control Panel
For Air90Cs, the control panel (photo 2) has a power switch, drop-selector
buttons and a thoracic-breakaway button (BRKY). After power, press in any order
to activate the corresponding function.

3.4 Thoracic Release / Thoracic Breakaway
Thoracic Release
To operate the Thoracic Release, pull the lever towards
you while holding the cushion; adjust to the desired
depth. Release the lever to lock the cushion.
Thoracic Spring-Breakaway
The manual Thoracic Breakaway
(non-air) uses a coiled spring to create
a recoil movement. First, unlock the
cushion (photo 4). Next, firmly pull out
on the tension control handle (photo 3)
to adjust firmness. Push down for
greater firmness; up for less. Push han-
dle back in to lock in desired firmness.
Thoracic Air-Breakaway
For tables with a Thoracic Air-Break-
away, it is necessary to regulate the
air-pressure before treating your
patient. Follow these steps:
1. Select the ‘BRKY’ (breakaway)
button on the main control panel
(photo 3).
2. Unlock the thoracic breakaway
switch by pulling toward you until it
clicks (photo 4). This will allow the
cushion to move freely up and down.
3. Press the right side of the Pressure
Foot Pedal (#7, page 2) to increase the air-pressure or left side to decrease
in the thoracic section. Push down on the cushion as you add air to test
for desired firmness.
4. Lock the cushion at any point by pushing the thoracic lock switch towards
the table until it clicks.
3.5 Raised Pelvic
Both the 90C and the AirC may be
equipped with an optional raised
pelvic section. To operate, locate the
lever under the cushion (photo 6, A).
Pull the lever toward you while you lift
the cushion. Release the lever to lock
it at the desired angle.

Usin Drops
4.1 Manual-Drops
Cocking handles are located on both sides of each drop. Lift the cocking
handle up (photo 5, A) to activate the drop. Turn the tension knobs (photo 5,B)
clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen (also see caution, pg. 6).
4.2 Air-Drops
Drop Selector Switches
The Drop Selector Switches (photo 7)
activate the table drops. You may choose
one or up to four drops simultaneously.
Once selected, press the foot strips (#8,
pg. 2) to activate the drops. After dis-
charging, press the pedal or foot strip
again to immediately reactivate the drops.
Drop Tension Control Knobs
The Drop Tension Knobs are located on the left side of each drop (#11, pg.
2). Turn the knob clockwise to increase the firmness of the drop—counter
clockwise to decrease.
Caution: Do not loosen Tension Knobs too far- Adjusting the tension knobs out too
far can cause the drops to malfunction. See “Tro ble Shooting” section on
pg. 10 for more detail.
Headpieces (options)
5.1 Tilting Headpiece
The lever for adjusting the tilting head-
piece is located under the front of the
headpiece (photo 8, A). It controls the
angle of tilt 30° positive or negative. Click
the switch in to lock; out to unlock.
5.2 Dual-Drop Headpiece
The Dual-Drop headpiece contains two drops—a drop-forward motion and a
straight-down drop.
Important Note: Before changing any of the settings described in the following
section, be sure the headpiece drop is discharged.

Drop-Forward Motion Headpiece
To use the Drop-Forward Motion of the
headpiece, the setting lever should re-
main in the side channel of the setting
mechanism as shown in photo 9. Be
sure that the pin locks into the receiver
behind it—otherwise, the drop will not
work. For a manual drop, push up on the
black cocking handle to engage.
For Air-Cervical Drop, see section 4.2.
Straight-Down Drop Headpiece
To use the Straight-Down Drop action of
the headpiece, pull the black setting
lever out and turn it to the left so that it
points straight down (photo 10). For a manual drop, push up on the black
cocking handle to engage.
For Air-Cervical Drop, see section 4.2).
5.3 Raised Headpiece
The Raised Headpiece allows the headpiece to rise up to 5” above the
surface of the table. It is controlled by a lever in front of the head cushion
(photo 8, B). Pull and hold the switch to adjust to the desired height; release
to lock. To lower, apply gentle downward pressure to the thoracic end of the
headpiece with one hand while pulling
the lever to adjust.
5.4 Cervical Flexion/Distraction
The Cervical Flexion Headpiece includes
the raised headpiece feature, occipital
strap and the removable tiller bar.
Note: Cervical Flexion, Distraction and
Lateral Motion (described below) can be
used separately or in combination.
Cervical Flexion
Position the patient as shown in photo 11.
Secure the occipital strap using the Velcro®
connectors. Use the Tiller Bar to apply flexion.
Cervical Distraction
To use Manual Cervical Distraction you must first unlock the cushion for axial
motion by releasing the red lock pin (photo 12). Pull and turn the lever to the left.

Maintenance
Regular Maintenance
Your Hill 90C is practically maintenance free. There is no lubrication of
parts needed.
Trouble Shootin
Problem
The Cervical Cushion cocks up but does not stay up. The drop pin has come out of
it’s L-bracket.
To Fix:
1. Loosen the Cervical Drop Tension
Knob enough to rotate the drop pin
(see “A” in photo) so that the spring
pin (B) faces and engages the
bracket (C) as shown in the photo.
Once the pin is turned into the
bracket, retighten the Tension Knob.
Problem
The main power board is turning off on it’s own. This is likely the Auto-Shutdown
mode operating normally.
When the Air90C is left inactive for 2
hours, the Auto-Shutdown mode will
power the main control board down
automatically.
To Fix:
Simply press the green power button.

Important:
Air functions on this table are controlled by a circuit board and
low voltage valves. Since electrical spikes, surges and undervolt-
age can be detrimental to electronic components, we recom-
mend protecting your table with an automatic voltage regulator.
While a voltage regulator will not guareantee parts against failure,
it could save you the cost of parts as well as table downtime.
The APC LE1200 voltage regulator is one example of a device
that would provide a minimum level of protection.
