Summary of Safety Precautions
WARNINGS
Injury could result if the table moves during procedures or examinations or while a patient is getting on or off the
table. Always engage the brakes unless the table is being moved. Push on the table to ensure the brakes are
securely locked.
Do not rest your feet on the cover of the surgery platform base. Injury may occur, especially if the litter is lowered
while in a non−horizontal position.
To avoid injury, keep hands/fingers clear of area between the litter frame and the Fowler when lowering
the Fowler.
To avoid injury, keep hands/fingers clear of the area between the litter frame and the foot section when lowering
the foot section.
Always hold the foot section when adjusting it. The foot section may rise too quickly and injury may result.
To avoid injury, always support the patient’s feet and legs when removing the foot section.
Do not sit on the foot section. Sitting on the foot section may result in a fall and injury. When the load on the foot
section exceeds 150 pounds, the foot section will lower to prevent the unit from tipping.
To avoid patient falls and injury, always use proper patient restraints when positioning the surgery table litter
in Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg or in lateral tilt.
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, remove equipment from the foot end accessory rail before changing
the position of the foot section and from the Fowler accessory rail before changing the position of the Fowler.
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, remove I.V. poles from the foot end receptacles before lowering
the foot section.
Do not sit on the Foot End Back Rest. Excessive weight on the Foot End Back Rest could cause the unit to tip,
resulting in injury.
The weight of the patient’s head is resting on the head piece and must be supported by the operator when
the latches are released and the head piece is being positioned. Failure to adequately support the head piece while
positioning the head could result in patient injury.
To avoid possible pinch points when adjusting the head piece, keep your fingers away from the jointed areas.
Do not reach between the side of the head extension and the articulating head piece to pull the release handle.
Finger injury could result.
The clamp−on siderails are only for use with the Foot End Back Rest. Do not use the clamp−on siderails on any
accessory rail other than those on the Foot End Back Rest and do not use the clamp−on siderails with a standard
foot section or the siderail may not be secure and injury could occur.
Do not use the clamp−on siderails on opposite sides of the litter. They are designed to pivot in one direction and
may not provide proper security if used on the wrong side.
To ensure proper security for the patient, after attaching the clamp−on siderail, be sure to slide it all the way to the
end of the accessory rail until it hits the stop and won’t go any farther.

Before operating this unit, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully read and strictly
follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page and the following page.

Return To Table of Contents
Summary of Safety Precautions
WARNING
To avoid patient injury or damage to the unit, when moving the surgery platform, be sure the I.V. poles are lowered
sufficiently to clear the tops of doors or other overhead obstructions.
To avoid injury, be sure the siderail latching mechanisms are holding properly at all times.
When repositioning the siderails, grasp the top rail to avoid potential pinch points.
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the siderail
spindles or injury could occur.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, move any equipment that may hinder motion before raising or lowering the table height
and positioning the table.
When transporting the surgery platform, push from the head end at the top of the Fowler frame to avoid damaging
the unit. Do not use the Fowler release handle as a push/pull device. Damage to the Fowler could result.
If the unit is positioned in Reverse Trendelenburg with the foot section lowered, the foot section may contact the
floor. To avoid damaging the unit, raise the litter or raise the foot section to the flat position before positioning the unit
in Reverse Trendelenburg.
To avoid injury or damage, the weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
Do not use the clamp−on siderails as push/pull devices or damage to the rails could occur.
When transporting the surgery table, push from the head end at the top of the Fowler frame to avoid damaging
the unit. Do not use the Fowler release handle as a push/pull device. Damage to the Fowler could result.
Do not attempt to move the unit sideways while the steer wheel is engaged. It will be difficult to move and injury
to the operator may result. When the pedal in is the neutral position, the steering wheel will retract and the unit
can be moved in all directions.
The hood may not be used for stepping.
Note
The bottom of the brake rings should be cleaned regularly to prevent wax and/or floor remnant buildup.

To Disengage the Steer Wheel: Push down on the side of the brake/steer pedal marked with the red label until
the pedal is in the neutral position (parallel with the floor). The steering (pivot) wheel will retract.
CAUTION
When transporting the surgery platform, push from the head end at the top of the Fowler frame to avoid damaging
the unit. Do not use the Fowler release handle as a push/pull device. Damage to the Fowler could result.
Do not attempt to move the unit sideways while the steer wheel is engaged. It will be difficult to move and injury
to the operator may result. When the pedal in is the neutral position, the steering wheel is retracted and the unit can
be moved in all directions.
