The following procedure assumes the foot end and head end columns do not have table
tops coupled in place. The coupling procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the H-frame from the H-frame storage bracket located on the foot end
column. Install the H-frame to the foot end crossbar and secure it with a T-pin. The
T-pins are stored in the T-pin quiver located adjacent to each column. The T-pin
must extend completely through both sides of the H-frame and the drop lock should
be in sight and pivot freely (see figure 11).
2. Remove the H-frame from the H-frame storage bracket located on the head end
column. Install the H-frame to head end crossbar and secure with a T-pin. The T-
pins are stored in the T-pin quiver located adjacent to each column. The T-pin must
extend completely through both sides of the H-frame and the drop lock should be in
sight and pivot freely (see figure 11). The head end crossbar is attached to a sliding
assembly that adjusts superiorly and inferiorly to accommodate trendelenburg and
reverse trendelenburg length compensation. Fully retract the head end H-frame
against the head end column.
NOTE: If the H-frame is not aligned with the mounting studs, it may bind. Do not force
it. Lower the H-frame off and repeat until it mounts easily.
T-Pin Quiver
NOTE: Two people are required to complete the following sequence.
3. Select the appropriate mounting hole position on the H-frame to support the table
top. Hole selection will differ depending on the table top selected, the patients' size
and the procedure to be performed. Further information on hole selection is available
in each of the table top owners manuals. On the foot end, align the table coupling
device with the hole in the H-frame and push the T-pin completely through.
