NOTE
An equalization grounding terminal is
located under the main power panel.
This is provided as an alternate path-
way to reduce the risk of static shock
hazards. Always follow recommended

and staff safety.
NOTE
The table will operate correctly on bat-

The extreme positioning capabilities of the 6700B
Hercules Table requires special attention for pos-
sibleinterferencepoints when usingmultiplefunc-
tion positioning. As with the operation of any
surgical table, a certain amount of care should be
exercised to position the patient safely. Although
the thick pads and sheets substantially protect the
patient,pinchpoints,locatedatthejointsofthetop
section should always be considered. BE SURE
THAT THE ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS OF
THE PATIENT AND THOSE OF THE OPERAT-
ING ROOM PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF ALL
MOVING PARTS BEFORE MOVING THE
TABLE. Proper restraints should always be used
for patient safety.
Certain accessories such as the Uro-Drain Tray,
Armboards and X-Ray top can be damaged when
changing the position of the table top sections.
Always look first to see if a desired movement is
going to interfere with any accessories in use.
The operator has the ultimate responsibility of
preventing damage to the table and surrounding
equipment or possible injury to the patient or staff.
The operator must ensure proper positioning is
maintained to prevent compromizing respiration,
nerve pathways or circulation.
In general, common sense will dictate when there
is a potential hazard.
The following precautions should be reviewed
by all personnel prior to operating the table.
A routine Instructional Program should be
implemented by the facility for proper usage
instructions for all personnel that may operate
this table.

SPECIAL USER ATTENTION
NOTE
When the red light starts to blink (indi-
cating low power in battery) the table
will operate for approximately 5 con-
tinuous minutes, typically long enough
to use the table for the rest of the day.
NOTE
The charging system operates ONLY
when the table is in AC120V operation
mode.
NOTE
The table can be operated on 120VAC
power while the battery is being re-
charged.
NOTE
If the table is stored for a period greater
than 6 months, the batteries should be
removed and stored in a dry, clean con-
dition at a storage temperature of 68° F
(20° C). Batteries should be recharged
every 6 months of product storage.
WARNING
DO NOT unlock brakes when a patient
is on the table. An uneven patient
weight load may cause instability.
NOTE
Withanevenlydistributedpatientweight
load, all table positioning functions will
operate smoothly and quietly with a
patient weight of up to 1,000 pounds.

sound when the BACK UP button is
pressed.
NOTE
If back section is below horizontal,
BACK UP function is limited to 800
poundpatient weight.
WARNING
The Leg section may hit the table base
or the floor if both the leg and elevation
systems are placed in their full down
position. NOTE
When REFLEX button is activated, if
Kidney Bridge is up, the back section
will not go above horizontal.

NOTE
The Emergency Brake Release Valve
must be closed and tightened (clock-
wise) before activating any function.
•If the Emergency Brake Release Valve
has been operated, the BRAKE UN-
LOCK button on the pendant control will
have to be pressed before brakes will
lock again.
NOTE
To make the Back Section easier to
handle, remove the Head Section and
X-ray Top prior to removing the Back
Section.
WARNING
Ensure that the Leg and Back sections
are properly engaged and secured to
pins before use to prevent injury.
NOTE
TheLegand Backsectionsare labeled
forproper orientation. The Legsection
cannotbeinstalledontheBacksection

NOTE
Normal table top position is with the
head(andback)sectionoverthepower
cord end of the base.
WARNING
Always lock the table top in position
after rotation. DO NOT rotate the top
with an unevenly distributed patient
weight load as instability may result.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the kidney lift, a
safety interlock prevents the kidney lift
from going up if the back section is
raised above horizontal. An audible
alarm will sound.
NOTE
Elevation and brake system functions
are not affected by the return to level
function.
CAUTION
The Back Section/Kidney Lift safety
interlock is not operational when the
emergency back-up control switches
are used.
CAUTION
The EMERGENCY BRAKE LOCK
switch does not activate the brake sys-
temtimer. Theswitchmustbehelduntil
the brakes are completely locked, ap-
proximately 10 seconds.
NOTE
The emergency back-up control
switches will function when the table is
operating on 120VAC power, battery
power, or turned off.
