Column Rotation
The telescopic column allows you to rotate and angle the tube for better positioning. The telescopic col-
umn can be rotated (pivoted) around the vertical axis of the telescopic column 180 degrees. The tele-
scopic column automatically locks in each 30 degree position.
The degree of column rotation is indicated on the OTS user interface. Column rotation is set at 0 degree.
WARNING
Strongly recommend to rotate the tube around the column and turn the OTS con-
sole right to face the operators for stretcher table application.
