Manufacturer Narrative

A service technician inspected the unit and identified that the table did not operate properly when running solely on battery power; no issues were noted when the table was plugged into a main power source.The technician replaced the table motor and control batteries.The table control board contains circuitry that will cause the table to shut down if the battery voltage is too low for correct circuit operation.Investigation by steris engineering determined the table's control board should be replaced as the control board may not have properly detected the battery voltage.The table control board was replaced and no additional issues have been reported.
