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 6Step 7 Mark the proper dock alignment (left/right) of the second table
