Removing the shaft linkage-right, shaft extension, and bearing IGUS

Removes the existing shaft linkage-right, shaft extension, and bearing IGUS from a dockable patient table.

Procedure

  1. Raise the table to its maximum height.
  2. Lower the table lock safety bar, then lower the table to make sure weight is resting on the safety bar.

  3. Note: Note the positions of the brake link plates. The brake link plates may need to be adjusted in the finalization process while checking the casters.
    Remove the screws that attach the shaft linkage-right to the link-right rear, located at the right rear side of the table. Also remove the two screws that attach the link-right front on the opposite side of the table in the same location.

    2. For best access to shaft extension mounting screws, put the table brake in "free rotate" position.
    3. Remove the shaft extension mounting screws (if more space is needed to access the shaft extension mounting screws or for better torque, rotate the bottom of the shaft extension out).

  5. Press the lower pedal to create space to remove the shaft linkage through the rear of the table.
  6. If replacing front or rear bearing IGUS, remove the bearing IGUS by hand.
