WARNING!
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR LEANDER TABLE
This may be your first experience with a motorized treatment table. You may experience slight audible
noises from the table drive system. This is not unusual as the drive system is powered by a 1/3
horsepower motor and 60/1 ratio gear box. As the table caudal section moves and changes direction
from downward to upward, there is a significant weight shift which may cause the gear box to “knock”
at the top and bottom of the stroke. This is normal and is not cause for alarm. Also, a slight “whirling”
sound may be heard which is caused by the motor driving the gear assembly. This is also normal and
may change in frequency and tone from the varying weight of small to larger patients. Remember,
just like your refrigerator, dishwasher or car, all run by a motor drive system that makes noise (even
a Lexus does!) Our Leander table drive system will make audible sound. Also, hard floors without
ample covering tend to amplify even a slight noise.
The above drawing shows the Lumbar Table with the uplift (Variable Height Option) in its uppermost
position and the caudal (pelvic) section in its lowest position (and at the lowest position of cam stroke)
DO NOT put the table in this position at any time while running the motor. The table is not designed
to use these to extreme flexion mode.
It is recommended that if you wish to increase the amount of flexion that you raise the center tube
(uplift-variable height) 2-3 inches with the caudal (pelvic) cushion left in its lowest position. The table
may be energized in conjunction with the center tube (uplift-variable height) when raised to its
uppermost position and the caudal (pelvic) section raised to its uppermost position. It is further
recommended that the caudal (pelvic) section never be lowered more that 50% of the distance that
the center tube (uplift-variable height) is raised when the table is being operated in motorized
flexion/distraction.
If you have any questions regarding this or other operating features of your Leander Table, please call
one of our courteous service or sales staff and we will assist you. Thank you and we hope you and
your patients enjoy your Leander Multi-Purpose Adjusting Table.

INSTALLATION
Spending a few minutes to read the following pages will greatly enhance the full use
and enjoyment of your new table. Consider how your new Leander 950 FLEXION
DISTRACTION TABLE will affect the flow in your office, which will be using it and other
details important to your therapy center. We will outline the space needs for the table,
its electrical requirements, and a basic placement of switches to get you started.
Space Considerations
The is Leander 950 FLEXION DISTRACTION TABLE is 22 inches wide and 88 inches
long at its widest and most extended positions, respectively. The front of the table
swings 25 degrees left and right, thus creating a width requirement of 57 inches. The
base length for the table is 68 inches. The T-bar and ankle cushion extend to increase
the overall length to 88 inches. In addition, we recommend at least 18 inches of
clearance on all sides in order for you to move about the patient (see figure 3).
Placing your table in a room with carpet will reduce the noise caused by sympathetic
vibrations that tend to be transmitted and amplified when the table is placed on a hard
floor. Also, bear in mind that direct sunlight will decrease the life of, and may discolor,
the upholstery over time.
Electrical Requirements
The Leander 950 Table requires 110VAC 60Hz electrical power in the U.S.A. This
power configuration is commonly used across all North America. Most countries outside
the U.S.A. use different voltages, such as 220vAC 50Hz or 100VAC 50Hz. Upon
request, the table can be configured to operate using various other power
requirements. For details, contact the factory.
For U.S. installation, your table should be plugged into a properly grounded outlet wired
to a 15-amp circuit breaker.
The Leander 950 FLEXION DISTRACTION TABLE is extremely well grounded. Should
you attempt to use an electrical device, such as electrical stimulation or ultrasound,
your patient may feel a shock due to the electrical current running from your device,
through the patient’s body, and out to the wall through the table’s grounded chassis.

Cord Placement
At the rear of the base cover, you will find up to 4 cord attachment sockets for on/off
(red) and uplift peddles (white) as well as the power cord entry socket (black with
switch). The power cord connects via an international power entry module with a two-
pole switch for activating current (see figure 4). Each of the control pedals attach via
foot switch cord entry modules/ sockets (see figure 4), the cord ends on the controls
provided with the table are color coded to the appropriate connectors.
WARNING: DO NOT PLUG POWER CORD INTO FOOT SWITCH SOCKET OR
FUSE WILL BLOW.

OPERATION
The Leander 950 Table has many standard features. Each of these will be described
in this section along with instructions for their use.
Standard Features
Motorized Flexion Distraction
The primary feature of the Leander 950 Table is motorized flexion distraction. This
is the original function for which this table’s predecessors were designed and built.
It frees the therapist hands for palpating muscle and bone joints for stretching,
reduces injury to therapists’ hands, back and upper extremities, creates
predictable repetitive motion, increases circulation and range-of-motion, “pumps”
nutrients to the discs, and allows the therapist to bill for Joint Mobilization.
The caudal section of the Leander 950 Table is moved by the Isolated Flexion
Drive System through a range of motion beginning at horizontal and ending at a
position 16 degrees below horizontal. The standard table moves from horizontal to
horizontal in 2 seconds completing 30 cycles each minute. A table equipped with
an EVS may have the cycling frequency adjusted.
Isolated Flexion Drive System
The Isolated Flexion Drive System smoothens out the transfer of power from the
gearbox to the caudal section and reduces noise and vibration normally associated
with flexion distraction tables. It includes vibration isolators, pushrod brackets, top
and bottom pushrod bushings, pushrod, drive plate, state-of-the-art gearbox,
motor, and EVS control board if the table is EVS equipped.
Patient Flexion-Off Switch
An easily utilized flexion-off switch is provided for patients. A squeeze bulb
connects to the left side of the base cover via a flexible hose. The patient can stop
the flexion motor by simply squeezing the bulb. For increased safety, once flexion
distraction has been stopped, it may only be re-started by depressing the “On” side
of the On/Off pedal. Some patients will feel more relaxed knowing that, should it
be necessary, this switch allows them to stop the flexion motor at the FIRST sign
of discomfort. DO NOT REMOVE THE SQUEEZE BULB

Leander 950 Series Operator Manual & Warranty
7
Lateral Flexion
The entire front section of the table, including the head and abdominal sections,
may be flexed laterally 25 degrees to each side for a total range of 50 degrees.
This motion is referred to as “lateral flexion”. Lateral flexion allows unilateral
traction, de-rotation of the lumbar and thoracic spine in conjunction with long (Y)
axis traction, and passive motion stretching of paravertebral hypertonus muscles.
The entire front section may be un-locked, moved, placed in position, and re-
locked very easily. Squeeze the handle located on either side of the table (see
figures 6 & 8, ensure that you grasp the chrome lever located under the handle at
the same time), use it to position the front section, and release it. The positioning
is infinite to allow the user to place the patient anywhere within the available range.
Note that greater lateral flexion range can be attained by placing the abdominal
section in the lowered position.
Adjustable T-bar
At the head of the table is a “T-bar” that may be extended up to 10 inches to
accommodate different patient heights and to increase distraction. This T-bar is
both wider and lower than previous versions. A wider grip provides more room for
hands and lower positioning allows more freedom of movement in the thoracic
spine and easier adjusting by lowering the patient’s scapulae.
Patients are able to vary the amount of distraction force applied to the spine
by pulling against the T-bar with lighter or heavier force.
Under the front edge of the right head cushion is a chrome lever which controls the
T-bar locking mechanism (see figures 6 & 9). To extend the T-bar, press the lever
toward the rear of the table. With the lever depressed, the T-bar may be placed
anywhere in the available range by moving it to that position and releasing the
chrome lever.
Hinged Head Section
The head section hinges at the joint between the head section and the abdominal
section. It travels from 15 degrees below horizontal to 45 degrees above. When
the head section is released from the locked position, it is supported by a gas strut
which counterbalances the weight of the table and the patient’s head.
Raise the head section during side posture movements to help support the patient
and reduce stress throughout the cervical and thoracic vertebrae.
Under the front edge of the left head cushion is a silver bar which controls the
locking mechanism for the head section (see figures 6 & 10). Raise or lower the
head section by resting the palm of your hand on the front of the cushion and
pulling the bar upward with your fingers. The head section is now free to “float”
with the gas strut supporting it and may be positioned anywhere in the available
range by moving it to that position and releasing the lever.

Adjustable Face Cushions
The two face cushions may be adjusted away from or toward the center of the
table. Adjusting the cushions improves support for a variety of patients.
Directly below the front and sides of each head cushion are round knobs. Loosen
these knobs to allow cushion placement and re-tighten them to secure in the new
position.
Abdominal Release
The table is equipped with an individual section for supporting the patient’s lumbar
and lower thoracic spine. This section is referred to as the abdominal section (see
figure 11). It has two operating positions; locked (up) and lowered (floating). It may
be lowered to allow normal lordosis and provides a more comfortable treatment for
larger and pregnant patients.
When the table is used for CPM flexion distraction, in most cases the abdominal
section should be in the lowered position. To lower the abdominal section, support
the abdominal cushion with one hand and lift the abdominal release lever (see
figure 12). Gently lower the cushion.
Important: without properly supporting the cushion (patient), patient discomfort
could result.
Adjustable Ankle Support
At the foot of the table is an adjustable ankle cushion that may be extended up to
10 inches to accommodate different patient heights (see figure 13). Straps are
provided for securing the patient’s legs and increasing distraction force if so
desired. Patients may increase the amount of distraction force applied to their
spine by pulling against this cushion with their toes.
Under the rear edge of the ankle cushion is a round, foam covered bar. Behind it
is a chrome lever. While standing at the foot of the table, squeeze the lever to
disengage the lock. Then, place the cushion anywhere in the available range and
release the lever to re-engage the lock.

Cushions
The LEANDER TABLE obtains standard density of foam is used for support and
comfort for patients.
Arm Rests
Arm rest cushions are located at either side of the head section. These cushions
are provided for patient comfort and allow for reduced tension in the thoracic spine
during treatment. They are not meant to support the weight of the practitioner.
Head roll Paper System
Head roll paper system (see figure 14). Hanger (A) is provided for a 12-1/2 inch
paper roll on the right side of the head section. Flexible plastic guide rod (B) keeps
the paper down and in place between the head cushions. Paper cutter (C) is
provided on the left side of the head section.
Foot Switches
The motorized CPM flexion distraction and uplift features of the table are both
operated by foot switches.
The flexion motor is started or stopped by simply pressing the “Start” or “Stop” side
of the On/Off pedal. The end of the pedal “away” from the cord is the “Start” side
and is marked with a green dot. The end of the pedal “at” the cord is the “Stop”
side and is marked with a red dot.
The uplift adjusts to any preferred height by pressing and holding the uplift pedal
until the table reaches the desired level. The end of the pedal “away” from the cord
is the “Up” side. The end of the pedal “at” the cord is the “Down” side.
Leveling Feet
Under each corner of the table are leveling feet. These are smooth faced,
adjustable height levelers provided to accommodate irregularities in floors.
To adjust the feet use a thin 7/8 inch wrench while the table rests on the floor or
simply lift the table and turn them by hand. The feet are threaded into the legs and
will change height when twisted.

Electrical Variable Speed (EVS)
The EVS provides an easy to use speed control for the flexion motor. You will find
the EVS control panel on the left side of the table under the caudal cushion. Simply
turn the knob to change flexion speed. Rate adjustment is unrestricted between 30
cycles per minute (standard) and 0 cycles per minute.
Figure 17
EVS/Timer panel.
Variable Height
(Maximum Weight Limit 350 pounds)
The variable height (uplift) incorporates an electric actuator to adjust the table
precisely to any height between either 18.5 to 24 inches or 21 to 29 inches. The
uplift allows easy on/off for patients and greater comfort for the practitioner.
Because the torso and leg sections adjust independently; the uplift also allows the
therapist to choose the exact range of flexion OR extension.
The front and caudal sections of the table are let independent of each other,
allowing the front section of the table to elevated while the caudal section remains
down (see figure 18). Also, the caudal section may be raised while the front
section remains down (see figure 19). To raise or lower the caudal section,
support the weight of it with one hand and, with the other hand, squeeze the control
located under the left side (similar to the adjustable ankle support). Position the
section as desired and release the control to lock it in place.
Important: Figures 18 & 19 demonstrate the positioning combination extremes
available. Improper positioning could cause the patient’s spine to be placed into
extreme flexion.
DO NOT TURN ON FLEXION WHILE TABLE AT MAX HEIGHT
Extension (figure 18). Use caution when taking advantage of these features. Also,
DO NOT put the table in the (figure 18) position at any time while operating
the flexion motor. The table is not designed to use these two positioning extremes
in conjunction with the flexion motor and it is possible to injure your patient’s back
or spine. It is recommended that if you wish to increase the amount of flexion that
you raise front section 2-3 inches relative to the caudal section. It is further
recommended that the caudal section never be lowered more than 50% of the
distance that the front section is raised when operating the flexion motor.

DROPS
Pelvic, Thoracic, and Cervical Drops
The drops on Leander tables all operate the same way. Each incorporates one or
two cocking handles (A), and a tension adjust knob (B). The pelvic and thoracic
drops each have a cocking handle on either side of the table (see figure 20). The
cocking handle for the Pierce-type, forward motion cervical drop is located at the
front of the head section, making it accessible from either side and moving it away
from the patient’s arm (see figure 21). To set a drop, lift the cocking handle until
the drop sets. To increase drop tension for heavier patients or thrusts, turn the
tension knob clockwise; counterclockwise to decrease tension.
Flexion Timer
The flexion timer allows pre-setting the flexion distraction motor run-time from 1 to
30 minutes. You will find the timer control panel on the left side of the table on the
upper portion of the base (see figure 17). It allows the therapist to pre-determine
exact treatment times for each client and easily repeat that treatment at each visit.
A manual override is built in to allow operation with or without automatic stopping.
To use the flexion timer:
1) Turn the timer knob to the desired setting. Remember to turn past 4 minutes
and back to set for 1 to 3 minutes.
2) Begin flexion by pressing the On switch (green dot foot Switch).
3) The flexion motor will stop when the time reaches “OFF”. Also, the flexion
motor may still be stopped by pressing the On/Off switch or by squeezing the
Patient Flexion-Off Switch.
To override the flexion timer turn the knob to the MANUAL area of the dial. The
flexion motor may now be started by pressing the On/Off switch.
Note:When a table is equipped with a flexion timer, the timer must either be
engaged or set to “manual” for the flexion motor to be operated.
Also:The timer stops the flexion motor at a random position. This is not an
accident.

PROPER PATIENT POSITIONING
This part of the manual is presented only as an introduction to the basic set-up and
proper patient positioning for the LEANDER TABLE. The intent is not to present
technique, nor should this text ever replace the professional’s training and knowledge.
These instructions are only for positioning the patient and properly energizing the table.
Check List
1. Place the Patient in a prone position with their face on the head roll paper.
2. Position the patient so that the top of the iliac crest is 1 INCH below the front edge
of the caudal (pelvic) cushion. Do not position the patient higher on the table; lower
is acceptable.
3. Extremely Important!Release the abdominal cushion to allow the patient’s spine
to attain its normal lordosis. In most cases, this must be done prior to energizing
the table. In some cases, failure to lower the abdominal section could injure your
patient.
4. Adjust the ankle cushion so that it just touches the top of the instep of the foot.
Patients may then increase the amount of distraction force applied to their spine
by pulling against the ankle cushion with their toes. The ankle straps may be used
to secure the patient’s legs and in certain cases may increase patient traction.
5. Extend the T-bar until the patient’s arms to have a slight bend at the elbow. In
elderly or acute cases this may be uncomfortable; if so, retract the T-bar or use the
armrests.
6. Place your hand on the apex of the sacrum and gently roll the patient from side-
to-side as you energize the table. This will comfort the patient and let them know
that treatment will begin.
CAUTION:
While the LEANDER TABLE may be used by an unattended patient, be sure to show
the patient the location and operation of the Patient Flexion-Off Switch. DO NOT
change the table to use in-line timers which may bypass the shut-off switches. Also, we

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE-SHOOTING
LEANDER TABLES are designed to provide exceptionally long life and dependability.
However, like any mechanical device they occasionally require minor service to keep
them in peak operating condition. This section will help you maintain the table and
identify minor irregularities and correct them before they become major disruptions in
your use of the table.
UPHOLSTERY
To clean the Naugahyde or vinyl on your LEANDER TABLE use warm, soapy water or
a specially blended Naugahyde or vinyl cleaner. DO NOT use any alcohol-based
cleaners or abrasives. DO NOT use Armor-All, or other cleaners formulated for
automotive vinyl.
MECHLOKS
LEANDER TABLES have three mechanical locking devices called Mechloks. They can
be found at the ankle cushion, lateral flexion lock, and the sliding flexion pushrod
of the table.These devices incorporate a simple lock design capable of resisting a
great amount of force, yet they may be set or released with a minimum of effort. These
attributes allow the physician great flexibility. Adjust cable tension if Mechlok slides or
locks.
TABLE MAINTENANCE
Leander, LLC provide you with a superior product to the best of our ability. It is our main
objective to provide you with a product that should last for many years.
At times there may be some issues that may occur. The most common is motor sounds.
This product contains a Leeson Motor. We have found it to be the best quality and most
durable. Motor capacity is approximately 350 pounds. Like all electrical products, they
are subject to various currents that can cause the motor to make a louder sound at
times. If you feel the motor is increasing in sound within the first 6 months, please
contact us. New motors may take a few months to wear and will decrease in sound.
Your motor and gearbox have a one (1) year warranty. Be assured Leander will cover
it and do our best to resolve the matter as fast as possible.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE: All tables are used at different levels of wear and tear. We
recommend basic maintenance once a year or as needed.
Check all bolts and screws that support the arm brackets, face cushions, thoracic
cushion, and pelvic cushion.
Use Lithium spray on the rollers of each drop mechanism.
Spray Lithium on each side of the rod that runs from the pelvic cushion to the gearbox
where the rod attaches to the cam inside the base cover. It is easy to reach with the
extended spray nozzle on the can. Doing this once or twice a year will keep motor
sounds down.
For those who have placed their tables on wood floors, ceramic floors, or vinyl floors
you will have louder table sounds. It is recommended that you place the table on a
rubber mat, carpet, or small rubber discs placed to place under the leg sliders.
Note: All operation of this Leander table is the sole responsibility of the operator.
