Dewert User Manual 6000E and 6800E –Updated 03.2023/4 MDR Page 7 of 13
Stage 1: The castors of the table are locked and can neither be moved nor rotated.
Stage 2: = centre position: The castors are released and can be moved and rotated, the table can be moved
in all directions.
Stage 3: Three castors are released (= can be moved and rotated). The fourth castor is locked and cannot be
rotated (directionally locked castor), i.e. the wheel rolls in a fixed position and helps to steer the table in the
intended direction.
Please note: Rotational movement is only prevented when the castor is swivelled parallel to the lying surface.
This then allows the table to be moved in a straight line without pulling off to the side.
Wheel-lifting/fixing mechanism
The wheel-lifting/fixing mechanism allows a combination between fixed and movable table. There are two twin
castors on each short side of the underframe and foot levers at each corner. The foot levers consist of two
ergonomically arranged counter holders. This way, the table can be lifted and lowered quietly with your foot.
The wheel-lifting/fixing mechanism is not controlled centrally; a foot lever must be operated on each short side
of the table in order to lower the table onto its feet or to place it on the castors. This option ensures the device
can be simply relocated; however, the device is not intended for transporting patients (ground clearance
(distance foot - ground) when moving the table is approx. 14 mm).
2.6 Additional equipment
Nose opening
If a nose opening is upholstered in the head part as an optional equipment feature, the opening can be closed
with a cushion (optional). To open up the nose opening, reach under the head part when the table is standing
still and press the cushion out from the bottom upwards (a slight amount of pressure is required).
To close it, simply insert the cushion into the opening (a slight amount of pressure is required).
3-sectioned head part (model dependent optional equipment)
The 3-sectioned head part consists of an adjustable head part as described under 2.3 and additional
armrests, which can be lowered and removed steplessly, to the right and left of the head part. The clamping is
released by loosening the knurled screw located underneath each armrest. The armrest can now be pulled
down through a range of approx. 180 mm. Re-clamping takes place by subsequently tightening the knurled
screw. To remove the armrests, loosen the knurled screw located directly underneath the head part. The
complete armrest can then be pulled off the head part from the side. The armrests must not be used for
sitting. They only serve to support the patient’s arms.
Paper roll holder (optional equipment)
The paper roll holder consists of a holding bar and angle mount brackets or retaining brackets.
In addition to the stainless steel bar, the paper roll holding bar consists of a spring-loaded stainless steel sleeve
featuring a round steel gripping disc at the end. To insert the holding bar, feed the guide cotter pin of the stainless
steel bar into the rear hole of the angle mount bracket/retaining bracket. Then push the sleeve with the gripping
disc against the spring force and feed the front guide cotter pin into the second hole. Then relieve the spring
tension on the sleeve. To release the paper roll holder, proceed in the same way.
Laterally lowerable side guard (optional)
Operating the side guard:
Hold the centre of the rail of the side guard with one hand and release it by moving it minimally sideways
(either towards the head or foot part). At the same time, use your other hand to pull out and turn the locking
pin (red knob) located in the centre of the side guard underneath the upholstery frame. Press down or pull up
the side guard using the rail until the locking pin engages. After the locking pin has engaged, the side guard is
secured in place. To check whether the side guard has engaged properly, move it sideways on the rail (either
towards the head or foot part). Only limited movement should then be noticeable.
Always operate the side guard with the necessary caution. Never operate the side guard if the hands,
fingers, etc. of another person are located between the bars or on the mechanism of the side guard.
Risk of being crushed/pinched!!!
The laterally lowerable side guard is completely screwed in place. If the side guard becomes too loose or has
excessive lateral play over time due to use, it can be readjusted by tightening the screws. The moving parts of
the side guard should be re-lubricated slightly at regular intervals (spray oil, e.g. Ballistol).
