•If circumstances demand table brakes
to be unlocked, the patient must be
centered and evenly distributed on the
table top (i.e. supine or prone position)
with the table lowered to its lowest
height position. The maximum patient
weight should not exceed 500 pounds.
Table top slide must be centered (indicated by a green LED light on the
pendant control) prior to unlocking
brakes. Patient's head must be on the
head section. Head section must be
attached in its normal orientation to the
table's back section.
•Prior to unlocking brakes, check for
obstructions on the floor that might
prevent the table from moving smoothly
to new location. Relock the brakes immediately once the final position is
reached and before commencing surgery. Table brakes should remain locked
at all times if patient weight exceeds
500 pounds.

1-2. Component Operation
a. Motor/Pump Operation
The motor/pump assembly is a gear type pump
that provides the oil pressure and volume for the
entire hydraulic system. The pump has an inlet
side and an outlet side. The inlet side is connected
to the reservoir which provides the oil supply. The
reservoir has a very fine mesh screen strainer
which prevents foreign material from entering the
oil system.
The output line of the pump is connected to the
main oil galley which is internal and common to all
the hydraulic mini-valves and pressure relief valve.
Also, common to the hydraulic mini-valves and
pressure relief valve is an oil galley that internally
connects to the oil reservoir to provide a return path
for the hydraulic oil. See figure 1-2.
The main component of the valve is an adjustable
spring loaded plunger that when it is pushed off
from its seat by the oil pressure the oil then flows
back into the reservoir. See figure 1-4. Turning the
adjustment nut clockwise increases the amount of
oil pressure required to open the valve, and turning
it counterclockwise decreases the amount of oil
pressure. (See adjustment section for specification.)

This device provides an alternate oil path back to
the reservoir when the hydraulic cylinders reach
the end of their stroke and the pump continues to
run. If this path were not provided, the pump motor
would stall because the oil cannot be compressed.
The pressure relief valve is directly connected to
the mini-valve bodies and shares both the common
internal main pressure oil galley, and the return oil
galley that internally connects to the reservoir. See
figure 1-3.

The operation of the mini-valves is identical for all
table functions except the elevation and brake
circuits. These two hydraulic circuits use a 3-way
(single check valve) type mini-valve. All other functions use a 4-way (dual check valve) type minivalve.
Either type mini-valve is controlled by two pushing
type, electrically operated solenoids. The solenoids push the spool valve (located in the lower
portion of the valve) one way or the other. This
motion opens the main supply galley (which has
pump pressure) allowing the oil to flow through the
various parts of the mini-valve to the function. The
spool valve also opens an oil return circuit which
allows the oil to return to the oil reservoir.
The main components of the mini-valve and their
functions are listed below:
1. Spool Valve - Opens the main oil galley
(pump pressure) to either mini-valve outlet depending on which direction the spool valve is
pushed. Also it provides a return path for the oil
returning back into the reservoir.
2. Pilot Plunger - There are two plungers in a
four-way mini-valve (one in a 3-way mini-valve),
one under each check valve. The purpose of the
pilot plungers is to mechanically open the return
check valve allowing the oil to return back into the
reservoir.
a slave cylinder than is allowed by the speed
control, the pressure relief valve opens and provides an alternate path for the pump oil to return to
the reservoir.
The following material depicts the three operating
positions of the mini-valve. The movement of the
slave cylinder piston (extend or retract) is determined by which port of the Mini-Valve is activated.
Mini-Valve in Neutral Position
(No fluid flow) See figure 1-5.
• Spool Valve Centered - This closes off both oil
pressure and oil return galleys.
• Pilot Plungers Both Closed -The pilot plungers control the opening of the check valves. If they
are closed, the check valves must be closed.
• Check Valves - Both check valves are closed
trapping the oil in the cylinder and oil lines.
• Speed Control - When the mini-valve is in the
neutral position, the speed control does not affect
anything.
3. Check Valve - Two are provided in each fourway mini-valve to seal the oil in the cylinders and oil
lines and prevent any movement of the table. One
check valve is provided in a 3-way mini-valve.
4. Speed Controls - There are two speed
controls in each 4-way mini-valve. They are needle
valve type controls which restrict the volume of oil
returning back into the reservoir, thereby controlling the speed of the table surface movement. A 3way mini-valve has only one speed adjustment.
The speed controls are always located in the return
oil circuit to allow the movement of the cylinder to be
controlled. Also, by using this control method, it
does not matter what size cylinder and piston is
used because the speed is controlled by restricting
the return oil. If the pump puts out more volume to

galley allowing the fluid to go through the check
valve and on to the cylinder. Also, the spool valve
opens the oil return line providing an oil path
through the internal oil galley back to the reservoir.
• Pilot Plunger Valve - Left pilot plunger valve
is pushed up by the incoming oil pressure mechanically opening the check valve located above it in the
return circuit. This action allows the oil from the
return side of the slave cylinder to go back into the
reservoir. The right pilot plunger valve is not
affected in this operation mode.
• Check Valves - Both check valves are opened
in this operation mode. The right check valve is
pushed open by the oil pressure created by the
pump. The oil then continues through the lines and
supplies the inlet pressure to move the slave
cylinder piston. The left check valve is held open
mechanically by the pilot plunger and allows the oil
from the return side of the slave cylinder to go
through the mini-valve back to the reservoir.
• Speed Control - The right speed control
(output side) does not have any effect in this
operation mode because the oil is routed around
the speed control through a bypass valve to the
output port. The left speed control controls the
speed of the table function by restricting the flow of
oil going back into the reservoir.
• Pilot Plunger Valve - Right pilot plunger valve
is pushed up by the incoming oil pressure mechanically opening the check valve located above it in the
return circuit. This action allows the oil from the
return side of the slave cylinder to go back into the
reservoir. The left pilot plunger valve is not
affected in this operation mode.
• Check Valves - Both check valves are opened
in this operation mode. The left check valve is
pushed open by the oil pressure created by the
pump. The oil then continues through the lines and
supplies the inlet pressure to move the slave
cylinder piston. The right check valve is held open
mechanically by the pilot plunger and allows the oil
from the return side of the slave cylinder to go
through the mini-valve back to the reservoir.
• Speed Control - The left speed control
(output side) does not have any effect in this
operation mode because the oil is routed around
the speed control through a bypass valve to the
output port. The right speed control controls the
speed of the table function by restricting the flow of
oil going back into the reservoir.
d. Hydraulic Cylinders (Slave Cylinders)
Page 11
There are several different types of hydraulic cylinders used in the table that activate the control
functions. With the exception of the elevation and
brake cylinders, all operate basically the same
way. The control functions are listed below.
1. Trendelenburg, Back Section and Leg Section Cylinders - The double action cylinders are
closed at one end and have a movable piston with
hydraulic fluid on both sides. Connected to this
piston is a ram or shaft that exits out of the other end
of the cylinder. Through the use of a ball and
socket, a gear, or clevis and pin arrangement, this
ram is connected to a movable table surface.
The movable surface can be moved one way or
the other by pumping hydraulic fluid into the cylinder on either side of the piston. Obviously, if oil is
pumped into one side of the cylinder, a return path
must be provided for the oil on the other side. See
figure 1-8.

and the other is attached to the elevation column.
Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the same end of both
cylinders at the same time. The two cylinder
system allows the 23 inches of top slide to be
performed by a short cylinder system. See figure
1-9.

3. Lateral Tilt Assembly - The lateral tilt assembly consists of two cylinders, pistons and connecting rods. The connecting rods attach to the lateral
tilt lever which connects to the table center column
assembly. The cylinder housing attaches to the
table top and is attached to the center column
assembly by pivots. See figure 1-10.
The pistons and connecting rods are attached to a
non-movable surface. Therefore, when hydraulic
fluid is pumped into one side, the cylinder housing
itself moves around the lateral tilt lever causing the
table top to tilt to one side.
To tilt the table top in the opposite direction, fluid is
pumped into the opposite cylinder.

slide system utilizes two double action cylinders
working in tandem. The cylinder housing contains
two piston and ram assemblies facing in opposite
directions. One ram is connected to the table top

4. Elevation Cylinder - This single action cylinder does not have hydraulic fluid on both sides of
the piston. It depends on the weight of the table top
assembly to lower it.
The cylinder is set in the center of the elevation
main column. The two stage cylinder is elevated by
the driven force of the oil pressure. When lowering,
the oil that is accumulated in the cylinder is returned
to the oil reservoir through the mini-valve due to the
table top weight.
A slider support assembly is used to support the
weight of the upper table section. A stainless steel
shroud covers the flexible hydraulic hoses and
slider. See figure 1-11.

5. Kidney Lift Cylinders - The two kidney lift
cylinders have a ram that has rack gear teeth cut
into the top surface. O-Rings on each end of the
ram allow the ram to also serve as the pistons.
The rack teeth cut into the top of the ram meshes
with a pinion gear. This gear meshes with other
gears to supply the up or down drive for the kidney
lift bars, depending on which direction the oil is
pumped into the cylinder. See figure 1-12.
Figure 1-12. Kidney Lift Cylinder Assembly
6. Brake Cylinders - The brake cylinders are
single action type similar to the elevation cylinder.
The movable piston's ram is connected to a brake
pad. See figure 1-13. Oil pumped into the top of the
cylinder pushes the piston down raising the table
base off its casters. An internal return spring on the
bottom of the piston, pushes the piston up to return
the oil through the mini-valve to the reservoir.

e. Elevation Cylinder Return Circuit
Page 13
A three-way (single check valve type) mini-valve
controls both the elevation and return circuits. The
elevation circuit operation within the mini-valve is
identical to the operation of the four-way valves
previously described (inlet pressure opens the
check valve allowing the oil to enter the cylinder). In
the return position, inlet pressure pushes the pilot
plunger up and opens the return check valve. See
figure 1-14. The open check valve allows a path for
the oil in the elevation cylinder to return to the
reservoir. When the pilot plunger valve is opened,
the continuing pump pressure opens the pressure
relief valve which provides a return oil path to the
reservoir.
The mini-valve used in the elevation circuit contains only one check valve (all four-way mini-valves
use two check valves). The check valve is used to
trap the oil in the elevation cylinder thereby supporting the table top. When the top is being lowered
the check valve is mechanically held open by the
pilot plunger through pump pressure.

Return springs inside the single action brake cylinders retract the brake pads and provide the pressure to return the hydraulic oil back to the reservoir.
The electronic timer operates the return circuit for
approximately 8-10 seconds.
g. Emergency Brake Release
The emergency brake release is simply a manually
operated bypass valve connected in parallel to the
brake cylinders and the oil reservoir. See figure 1-
16. When the valve is opened (turned counterclockwise) a return circuit for the brake hydraulic
fluid is opened. The return springs force the pistons
up pushing the hydraulic oil back into the reservoir
and retracting the brake pads.
h. Flex/Reflex System
The Flex/Reflex system incorporates an additional
mini-valve which connects the Trendelenburg and
back section hydraulic systems in a series. When
FLEX is activated by the pendant control, the Flex/
Reflex mini-valve opens the oil pressure path to the
Reverse Trendelenburg piston. The return oil path
from the Trendelenburg piston is routed through
the back section cylinder to the mini-valve return
port. See figure 1-17

a. Fluid Level.
The fluid level should be approximately 1/2" below
the filler hole or gasket surface. If additional fluid is
needed, remove the filler vent cap with a phillips
screwdriver and add fluid through this opening
using a funnel. See figure 1-18.
NOTE
The elevation cylinder should be completely down, the brakes released and
all the other control functions in their
neutral position when checking oil level.
c. Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve is adjusted by turning the
adjustment nut until the desired pressure is reached.
To adjust:
1. Remove the plumbing bolt securing the
brake system line to the pressure relief valve and
attach a hydraulic pressure gauge to the main oil
galley using a long 6mm plumbing bolt. See figure
1-19.

The type of oil that should be used is Mobil DTE #25
or equivalent. This is a very high quality hydraulic
oil. The table requires approximately two quarts of
oil to operate properly. Excercise caution when
determining equivalance to avoid damage to the
hydraulic system.
b. Bleeding The Hydraulic System
To purge the air from the hydraulic system, operate
each function back and forth at least two or three
times.
NOTE
Whenever a hydraulic line or component is replaced, bleed the air out of the
lines using the pump pressure by activating the function before making the
final connection. Then operate the function until it stalls in both directions.
82205-119
Figure 1-19.
2. Raise the table top until the piston reaches
the end of its stroke and stalls. Observe reading on
pressure gauge and turn the adjustment nut (clockwise to increase oil pressure, counterclockwise to
decrease) until desired reading is obtained. Pressure should be 8MPA (80KG/CM2 -1138 PSI). An
erratic reading and/or inability to adjust to the
recommended setting may indicate the need for
replacement of the pressure relief valve.
Page 16
d. Speed Controls
The speed controls restrict the volume of oil returning back to the reservoir thereby controlling the
speed of each control function.
All four-way mini-valves, have two speed controls
located in the ends of each valve body. All threeway mini-valves have only one speed control.
One speed control adjusts one direction of a
particular function and the opposite speed control
adjusts the other direction. They are adjustable by
using a small straight blade screwdriver and
turning the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the speed and counterclockwise to
increase the speed. See figure 1-20.

Any control function should move in either direction at the same rate. If the rate of a certain function
is too slow, open the speed control slightly and
recheck. Use the second hand on a watch and time
a particular function. Match that time in the opposite direction by opening or closing the speed
control. Approximate operating times are as follows:
Lateral Tilt 7 seconds
Leg Up25 seconds
Leg Down15 seconds
Kidney Lift 7 seconds
Slide29 seconds
A pressure gauge should be used to set the speed
of the back section, Trendelenburg and flex control
functions.
To adjust:
1. Attach the pressure gauge onto the main oil
galley as shown in figure 1-19.
2. The gauge should read the following values
when operating the various control functions in
either direction. Turn the speed controls until
desired values are obtained.
When adjusting Flex/Reflex speed controls, set Reflex last.
Elevation - There is not a speed adjustment for
raising the table. The speed control will only affect
the rate of descent and it should equal the rate of
elevation.

Figure 2-1. Eccentric Cam Adjustment
Any twisting or flexing of the back section as it
approaches the stalled position indicates that one
of the cylinders is not reaching its fully extended
position at the same time as the other. This
condition would require an adjustment.
To adjust:
Remove the seat section top for access to the cam
locking set screws and loosen the set screws. Use
an allen wrench to turn the cylinder eccentric cams
as required to shift either cylinder fore or aft as
needed so no twisting or flexing of the back section
is observed when it is stalled in the full up position.
See figure 2-2. Tighten the set screws and replace
the seat section top when the adjustment is completed.
2-2. Hydraulic Cylinder Adjustment
The hydraulic cylinder rams that control both the
back and leg sections must move together so that
these sections are not twisted when operated. This
is accomplished by the use of eccentric cams that
move the cylinder bodies fore and aft to adjust their
effective stroke.
NOTE
Adjust gear mesh before adjusting eccentric cams for the back section.

SECTION III HYDRAULIC TROUBLESHOOTING
Page 21
Before attempting to troubleshoot any hydraulic
problem on the table, please read through the precautions and notes below.
CAUTION
When disconnecting any of the hydraulic lines, fittings, joints, hoses, etc., for
the following control functions, be sure
these table surfaces are in their down
position or completely supported.
Elevation
Back Section
Leg Section
Kidney Lift
When working on the Trendelenburg
or lateral tilt hydraulic circuits, be sure
to support the table top. When working
on the brake system make sure the
brakes are completely retracted.
Once the problem has been determined, concentrate on that particular hydraulic circuit or control
function.
Listed below are the hydraulic components that
are common with all hydraulic circuits. If there is a
problem with any of them, it could affect all control
functions.
1. Motor/Pump Assembly
2. Reservoir
3. Pressure Relief Valve
4. Certain Oil Lines and Galleys
If there was a problem in the following components,
only one control function would normally be affected.
1. Mini-Valve
2. Slave Cylinder
3. Oil Lines
NOTE
WARNING
Failure to follow these precautions may
result in an uncontrolled oil spray and
damage to the table or personal injury.
3-2. Troubleshooting Notes
When troubleshooting a table malfunction, first
determine the following:
1. Does the problem affect all control functions?
2. Does the problem affect only one control
function?
3. If the problem affects one control function is
it in both directions?
4. Is the problem intermittent?
Whenever a hydraulic line or component is replaced, bleed the air out of the
lines using the pump pressure before
making the final connection. After all
connections are tight, cycle the control
function back and forth two or three
times to purge the remaining air from
the system.
CAUTION
When installing new "O" rings use hydraulic oil or white lithium grease to
thoroughly lubricate the "O" rings and
cylinder. Keep everything clean.
Each complete oil circuit is shown on the following
pages. When troubleshooting a particular function,
refer to the appropriate oil circuit diagram and the
list of possible problems.
5. Is the problem no movement of a table
surface or does the table surface lose position?
