4. Engage the patient transfer safety lock on the head end and foot end columns (see
Figures 13 and 14)
For safe patient transfer, the patient transfer safety lock must be engaged prior to
transfer in order to prevent the possibility of the table top rotating while the
transfer occurs. Failure to do so may result in the patient being dropped.
5. Set the rotational friction control on the head and foot end columns to maximum
friction by fully rotating clockwise (see Figures 13 and 15).
6. Set the 25 degree rotation stop on the head end column (see Figure 16).
Prior to coupling the table tops, verify that the two (2) H-frames are properly
installed to the crossbar. Confirm the T-pins passes completely through the H-
frames and the crossbars and that the T-pin drop locks are in sight and pivot
freely. Failure to do so may result in the patient being dropped.
3.6 Selecting The Mounting Holes For The Table Top
When selecting the H-frame mounting hole, it is intended that the center of gravity of the
patient be at or below the centerline of the crossbars. For most patients, the fourth
open mounting hole below the crossbar is the appropriate position (see Figure 20).

NOTE: Two people are required to complete the following sequence of actions.
7. Select the appropriate mounting holes on the H-frame to support the table top.
Insert the T-pin into the H-frame on the head end column first. Align the mounting
tube on the table top to the selected mounting hole on the H-frame. Push the T-pin
through the H-frame, completely through the mounting tube and through the
opposite side of the H-frame. The T-pin drop lock should be in sight and pivot freely
(see Figure 21).
