Never adjust a section when it supports the full weight of the patient!
Each section of this aXionXelect is supported by gas springs. As well as
easing operation, they offer full support of the sections. However, these gas
springs are not strong enough to lift a section while it supports the full weight
of the patient.
A maximum patient’s weight of 200 kg is allowed when the height of the
couch is being adjusted.
Try to limit the continuous use of the motors. For every 2 minutes that the
couch is operated in succession, it should not be used for 18 minutes in
order to cool down completely. If the motor is used significantly more than
this, it falls outside the normal use of the motor, and the performance of the
motor will decrease.
The couch is not anti-static.
For safety reasons, the wheels of the unit should be retracted before the
beginning of a treatment.
Never let your full weight rest on the switch bar!
Ensure that you will never rest your feet on the all-around-operation.
Especially when seated next to the couch it can lead to a dangerous situation
in which your leg can be jammed between the section and the all-around-
operation.
Do not sit on the head and leg section of the couch.
When adjusting this couch, keep hands and feet away from the couch for at
least 20 cm, especially on places that has been marked by these stickers.
When adjusting the sections, squeezing-danger can arise at contact points of
the section. Keep enough distance between you or your clients and these
points.
Head section: is not suited to sit upon and must be used to support the head
only.
Always use the original accessories that are meant for this product.
Use a clean couch cover / towel / terry cloth / paper cover for every
individual. This is required to guarantee a hygienic use.
Do not use cleaning agents that contain alcohol or other aggressive cleaners.

digital lock
autolockbox
(optional)

cannot be used. This will prevent the couch from being adjusted
unintentionally.
Press both buttons ▲ and▼ on the foot end of the couch for 2 seconds to
enable or disable the lock. One beep means the couch is locked. Two beeps
means the couch is ready for use.

hear the beeps, release the buttons. Now press 1 of the lock buttons several
times to select the desired mode. One or more beeps will sound. The number
of beeps represents the selected setting:
Press once (1 beep sounds) = lock enabled time of 15 minutes
