SECTION II BATTERY TABLE OPERATION2-1. AC 120V Operationa. Be sure the power cord is plugged into aproperly grounded, Hospital Grade, 120VAC outlet. Make sure the power cord is routed to the outletto prevent it from being in the way of operatingpersonnel.b. Depress the main power ON/OFF switchlocated on the electrical enclosure. See figure 2-1.The green AC 120V, Power-On indicator lightlocated in the lower right corner of the pendantcontrol will illuminate. See figure 2-2.BATTERY CHARGINGINDICATOR LIGHTNOTE If brakes fail to set, make sure theEmergency Brake Release Lever istight (clockwise). If the Emergency Brake Release Valvehas been operated, the BRAKE UNLOCK button on the pendant controlwill have to be pressed before brakeswill lock again.NOTE Turning the Main Power Switch ONwill change the table operation to 120VAC power regardless of the position ofthe BATT button. If Battery operation is activated whileMain Power Switch is ON there will beapproximately a 4 second delay beforeBattery operation activates.2-2.

The amber BATTERY indicatorlight, located in the lower left corner of the pendantcontrol, will illuminate. This confirms that the tableis now being operated with battery power.c. The table is now ready to operate on batterypower. Press TABLE UP button on the pendantcontrol to set the table’s brakes. An electronictimer will activate the brake system until the brakesare completely set, approximately 8-10 seconds.Press desired function button to position the table.d. To extend the battery charge life, turn theBATTERY power OFF with the pendant controlwhen the table is not going to be used.

NOTEBattery Operation must be turned OFFat the pendant control. It can not beturned Off using the main power switch.2-5. Emergency Back-up Controlsa. The emergency back-up control switches arelocated under the access door on the serviceaccess cover in the table base. See figure 2-3.2-3. Automatic Shut-Offa. To prevent unnecessary discharge of thebattery, a timer is built into the battery circuit. Thistimer will automatically shut the battery power OFFafter 3-4 hours of table inactivity.b. To turn the table “ON” again, simply press theBATT button on the pendant control and the amberindicator light will illuminate. Select any controlbutton to operate the table.2-4. Charging the Batterya. If the battery needs to be charged whenoperating the table on battery power, the amberindicator light on the pendant control will begin toblink. At this time the battery needs to be recharged.NOTEWhen the amber light starts to blink(indicating low power in battery) thetable will operate for approximately 5continuous minutes, typically longenough to use the table for the rest ofthe day.FUNCTION CONTROLACCESS DOORFigure 2-3. Emergency Controls Locationb. In the event of either a power failure or aproblem with the hand-held pendant control, thetable can be operated using the emergency backup switches. Simply push the desired emergencyswitch in the appropriate direction to operate thetable functions. See figure 2-4. These switches arespring-loaded so they return to the neutral orcenter position when released.LAT. TILTLEFT/RIGHTTABLEUP/DOWNb. To recharge the battery simply plug thepower cord into a 120VAC wall outlet, if notalready plugged in. Turn the main power ON/OFF switch ON by depressing it.

Brake System Activationb. Depress “Main Power ON/OFF” switch onthe electrical enclosure. See figure 3-1. The greenPOWER ON indicator light on the pendant controlshould now be illuminated.Press the BRAKE UNLOCK button on the pendantcontrol to release the four self-leveling brake feet inorder to move the table. See figure 3-3. The brakedelay circuit automatically retracts the brake system with just one press of the BRAKE UNLOCKbutton. It takes approximately 7-8 seconds tototally release the system.WARNINGDO NOT unlock brakes when a patientis on the table. An uneven patientweight load may cause instability.Figure 3-1. Main Power Switch3-2. Positioning FunctionsThe hand-held pendant control (figure 3-2) activates the following table functions:6Figure 3-2. Pendant Control Unitb. Emergency Brake Release. In case of apower failure or an electrical problem within thetable, the emergency brake release system can beused to move the table. The control lever for thisfunction is located on the side of the table base andis identified by an EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE label. Turn the lever counterclockwise torelease the brakes. See figure 3-4.Figure 3-4. Emergency Brake Release

IMPORTANTThe Emergency Brake Release Valvemust be closed and tightened (clockwise) before any hydraulic function willoperate.IMPORTANTTo maximize patient safety, utilizeproper restraint methods during extremelateral tilt positioning. If the Emergency Brake Release Valvehas been operated, the UNLOCK button on the pendant control will have tobe pressed before brakes will lock again.NOTEWith an evenly distributed patient weightload, all table positioning functions willoperate smoothly and quietly with apatient weight of up to 500 pounds.c. Trendelenburg. To place the surgical tablein a trendelenburg (head down) position, press theTREND button (figure 3-5). Trendelenburg positioning of up to 30 may be obtained. To place thetable in a reverse trendelenburg (head up) position, press the REV TREND button. ReverseTrendelenburg positioning of up to 30 may beobtained.IMPORTANTTo maximize patient safety, utilizeproper restraint methods during extreme trendelenburg positioning.Figure 3-6. Lateral Tilt PositioningCAUTIONTo prevent damage to the kidney lift,make sure the kidney lift is completelydown before raising the back section.e. Back Section. To raise the back section,press the BACK UP button (figure 3-7). The backsection will raise up to 90 above horizontal. Tolower the back section, press the BACK DOWNbutton. The back section will go down to 40 belowhorizontal.Figure 3-5. Trendelenburg Positioningd. Lateral Tilt. To achieve lateral tilt right (asviewed from the head end of the table), press theTILT RIGHT button (figure 3-6). Tilt of up to 30 may be obtained. To achieve lateral tilt left, pressthe TILT LEFT button. Tilt of up to 30 may beobtained.Figure 3-7. Back Section Positioning7

j. Pendant Control Storage. When the Pendant Control is not in use, it should be stored on aconvenient side or end rail. A bracket is locatedunder the table top for storage of the PendantControl when the table is not in use and duringcleaning. See figure gure 3-14. Repositioning Head Section3-4. 180 Degree Table Top Rotation.Figure 3-12. Pendant Control StorageBracketNOTENormal table top position is with thehead (and back) section over the powercord end of the base.3-3. Head Sectiona. A quick release positioning bar located underand to the front of the head section (figure 3-13) isused to raise or lower the head section. Pull therelease bar toward the head end to allow thesection to pivot up or down. Positioning from 60 above horizontal to 90 below horizontal in 15 increments is available. Release the bar to lock thehead section in position.a. The table top can be horizontally rotated 180 without having to rotate the entire table. To rotatethe top, turn the TOP ROTATION LOCK HANDLEcounterclockwise (figure 3-15), grasp the table bythe head end and rotate the top 180 counterclockwise. Lock the top in position by tightening the TOPROTATION LOCK HANDLE clockwise.WARNINGAlways lock the table top in positionafter rotation. DO NOT rotate the topwith an unevenly distributed patientweight load as instability may result.HEAD SECTIONRELEASE BARFigure 3-13. Head Section Adjustmentb. By loosening two locking knobs beneath theback section, an additional 5" of longitudinal adjustment can be achieved. If desired, the head sectionmay be removed by loosening the locking knobs andpulling it straight out of the back section. 6001 SeriesTables have the capability of attaching the headsection to the leg section for use as a foot extensionONLY. Do Not reverse the patient on the tablewithout first consulting with SKYTRON. Two lockingknobs are located on the inside of the leg section forsecuring the head section. See figure 3-14.Figure 3-15. 180 Degree Top Rotation9

b. The use of the optional support rod allows thetable top to be rotated 90 from the base. Seefigure 3-16.CAUTIONDO NOT sit on the end of the legsections as damage may result.WARNING Make sure the TOP ROTATION LOCKHANDLE is tightened and the brakesare set before transferring the patient.135 Exercise caution with the table toprotated 90 to the base since an improperly distributed patient load maycause the table to be tipped over.HORIZONTALLOCK HANDLEFigure 3-18. Leg Horizontal Positioning3-6. Kidney LiftSUPPORTRODThe optional, built-in kidney lift is operated by amanual hand crank system and allows 5 inches oflift. See figure 3-19.
