Prerequisites

Overview

This adjustment is for the mechanical interlock which prevents the Patient Transport from being undocked or lowered while the cradle is in the magnet bore.

  1. Remove all upper and lower trim covers from sides of Patient Transport.
  2. With cradle NOT HOME (removed), check the interlock mechanisms for tolerances shown in Figure 1. To adjust:
    1. 1/16 to 1/32 inch (1.59 to 0.79 mm) gap - carefully bend interlock rod. See Figure 1.
    2. 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) gap - loosen lock nut and tighten or loosen the cable adjustment screw to achieve the proper gap. Tighten lock nut. See Figure 2.

    If the adjustment screw does not provide enough range for adjustment, coarse adjustment may be made to the cable length where the cable end is clamped into actuator bracket. Fine adjustment will be required after performing a coarse adjustment.
