NOTE

Activating any function button will acti-
vate the brake system.  Using the TABLE
UP function to set the brakes provides
a visual assurance that the brakes are
locked without altering the table posi-
tion, except when emergency brake is
released.

WARNING

Possible explosion hazard exists if table
is used in the presence of FLAMMABLE
ANESTHETICS.

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
grounding procedures to ensure patient
and staff safety.

NOTE

The table will operate correctly on bat-
tery power with the power cord con-
nected to a wall outlet or disconnected.

NOTE

Battery Operation must be turned OFF
at the pendant control.  It can not be
turned Off using the main power switch.

NOTE

Turning the Main Power Switch ON will
change the table operation to 120 VAC
power.

The extreme positioning capabilities of the 6700B
Hercules Table requires special attention for pos-
sible interference points when using multiple func-
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, pinch points, located at the joints of the top
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.
