The Dock Contains Ferrous Materials and may be pulled into
the magnet bore if securing hardware is removed.
Only loosen the hardware sufficiently to perform adjustments
in this procedure. ensure THE DOCK remains secured TO PREVENT IT FROM
BEING PULLED INTO THE MAGNET BORE.
At the rear of the dock, loosen the top and bottom dock bracket
nuts (2 on each side).
Figure 1. Dock Bracket Nuts
Get the table removed earlier (first table) and check table
alignment/levelness with the bridge to ensure smooth travel. Adjust
the height as needed according to Leveling Patient Table . Adjust left/right according to Dock Centering and Dock Hook Tension Adjustment ). Undock the first table and get the second table. Dock the second table and repeat Step 6 and dock hook
centering procedure from Step 7 , but do not perform dock centering. Mark the proper dock alignment (left/right) of the second table
with a second piece of tape. Mark the center point between the two marks. Shift the dock to align with the center point mark.
Figure 2. Marking Center Point
Secure the dock by tightening the dock bracket nuts at the rear
of the dock. See Figure 1 .
Finalization
Dock each table, move the cradle into the bore, and confirm
