SPECIAL USER ATTENTION
Prior to use, all personnel that may operate
this table must be instructed in the correct
operational procedures. This table is designed
for use by trained and qualified personnel for
human medical purposes only.
Initial use should not begin until after the users
have been instructed by the manufacturer's
representative.
In general, common sense will dictate when there
is a potential hazard.
The following precautions should be reviewed
by all personnel prior to operating the table.
WARNING
A routine instructional program must be
implemented by the facility for proper usage
instructions for all personnel that may operate
this table.
The maximum lifting capacity of the 6701
Hercules table is 1,200 pounds and the maximum
articulation weight capacity is 1,000 pounds.
When lifting or articulating large patients, pay
close attention to the patient position as well
as the positioning guidelines and limitations
listed in the operation instructions.
The extreme positioning capabilities of the 6701
Hercules Table requires special attention for
possible interference points when using multiple
function positioning. As with the operation of any
surgical table, a certain amount of care should be
exercised to position the patient safely. Although
the thick pads and sheets substantially protect the
patient, pinch points, located at the joints of the top
section should always be considered. BE SURE
THAT THE ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS OF
THE PATIENT AND THOSE OF THE OPERATING
ROOM PERSONNEL ARE CLEAR OF ALL
MOVING PARTS BEFORE MOVING THE TABLE.
Proper restraints should always be used for patient
safety.

injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a possibility of damage to
equipment.
NOTE
Indicates important facts or helpful
hints.
This equipment is intended for use by healthcare
professionals only. This equipment may cause radio
interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby
equipment. It may be necesssary to take mitigation
measures, such as re-orienting or relocating the
table or shielding the location.
Certain accessories such as the Uro-Drain Tray,
Armboards and X-Ray top can be damaged when
changing the position of the table top sections.
Always look first to see if a desired movement is
going to interfere with any accessories in use.
The operator has the ultimate responsibility of
preventing damage to the table and surrounding
equipment or possible injury to the patient or
staff.
The operator must ensure proper positioning is
maintained to prevent compromizing respiration,
nerve pathways or circulation.
Do not use worn or damaged accessories, they
represent an injury hazard.
Remove possible obstacles before lowering or tilting
the operating table
Do not place objects on the base of the table, a
danger of damage exists during positioning.
Use caution when articulating the table top, pinch
hazards exist.

NOTE
Activating any function button will
activate the brake system. Using the
TABLE UP function to set the brakes
provides a visual assurance that the
brakes are locked without altering the
table position, except when emergency
brake is released.
WARNING
Possible explosion hazard exists if table
is used in the presence of FLAMMABLE
ANESTHETICS.
NOTE
An equalization grounding terminal is
located under the main power panel.
This is provided as an alternate pathway
to reduce the risk of static shock
hazards. Always follow recommended
grounding procedures to ensure patient
and staff safety.
NOTE
NOTE
Turning the Main Power Switch ON will
change the table operation to 120 VAC
power.
NOTE
When the red light starts to blink
(indicating low power in battery) the
table will operate for approximately
5 continuous minutes, typically long
enough to use the table for the rest of
the day.
NOTE
The charging system operates ONLY
when the table is in AC120V operation
mode.
NOTE
The table can be operated on 120VAC
power while the battery is being
recharged.
The table will operate correctly on battery
power with the power cord connected
to a wall outlet or disconnected.
NOTE

SPECIAL USER ATTENTION
WARNING
•Do Not unlock brakes when patient is
on the table. An uneven patient weight
load may cause instability.
•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
rotation must be in normal orientation,
that is, the back section over the long
end of the table. 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.
NOTE
With an evenly distributed patient weight
load, all table positioning functions will
operate smoothly and quietly with a
patient weight of up to 1,000 pounds.
NOTE
WARNING
To maximize patient safety, utilize
proper restraint methods during extreme
Trendelenburg positioning.
NOTE
To prevent table damage, a safety
interlock limits lateral tilt positioning to
20° if Trendelenburg positioning exceeds
20°. An audible alarm will sound.
WARNING
To maximize patient safety, utilize proper
restraint methods during extreme lateral
tilt positioning.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the kidney lift,
a safety interlock prevents the back
section from going above horizontal if
the kidney lift is not all the way down.
If the kidney lift is raised, an audible
alarm will sound when the BACK UP
button is pressed.
NOTE
If back section is below horizontal, BACK
UP function is limited to 800 pound
patient weight.
To prevent table damage, a safety
interlock limits Trendelenburg positioning
to 20° if lateral tilt positioning exceeds
20°. An audible alarm will sound.
