4.0 BASIC OPERATION
The 5803 Advanced Control Base uses an external AC power source or internal,
rechargeable, battery power for operation. It uses AC power when plugged into a proper
AC receptacle and the on/off power-switch is in the "on" position. When not plugged in,
or AC power is lost, the 5803 Base will automatically switch over to internal battery
power. The batteries are automatically recharged whenever the 5803 Base is plugged
into an AC power source and the on/off power-switch is in the "on" position. Located
next to the on/off power-switch on the head end base (see figure 4) is the power on,
fault, and battery status lights.
When the power cord is removed and/or not plugged into an AC outlet, the
protective earth ground stud near the power entry module must be connected to
a proper earth ground during use.
All Locks must be engaged before a patient transfer is performed.
4.1 Casters
Each base is equipped with three (3) locking casters and one (1) steer caster. The
steer caster functions to allow the table to roll along a straight path when pushed from
the head end. The steer caster is located on the right side of the foot end. The steer
caster has a green label marked "Steer". To lock the table base securely in place, it is
necessary to engage the lock on each of the four (4) casters.
To lock a caster lock, step on the lock tab until you hear an audible click and the tab
remains in the down or locked position (see figure 6). To unlock the caster, push the
unlock button. When the unlock button is pressed, the tab will click back to the original
unlocked position (see figure 7).
