CAUTION
DIRECTIONS FOP USE
• Use & Adjustment of the Antigua ™ Arm Rests
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Though the arm rests adjust automatically to remain parallel to the
floor in any position, there will still be times when you will need to
move an arm rest out of the way or remove them altogether. We
recommend that you raise the arm rest out of the way to allow a client to
get on or off the table. They are designed to be strong and will take a
reasonable amount of weight but they are not designed to be used to
sustain a person’s weight when getting on or off the table.
To Adjust the Arm Rest:
Before asking a client to mount or dismount from the table we recommend
that you move the arm rest out of the way. The arm rests are easy to move
and manually adjust. First position the tabletop with the backrest in
the upright position and all other section flat. Take hold of the arm
rest firmly and raise the arm rest up and out of the way with a steady
swing until the arm rest is in the highest upright position (see images
below). Hold it in place until your client has mounted (or dismounted)
and then actively move it back into the resting position where it will
proceed to move automatically with the table top.
The arm rest is now set and will adjust automatically as you position the cli-
ent for whatever procedure is needed.
There will be times when removal of the arm rests will be needed. This
feature is helpful when doing massage or helping someone get on or
off the
Antigua ™ . This can be done easily and storage is conveniently
located in the under-table cabinet. They are then at hand when you are
ready to re-install.
To Remove the Arm Rest:
The arm rest frame has a notched connection to the interior of the the
table top which allows it to move automatically when the table top
changes position. (cont.)
