Region™ 3 and 7 Treatment Platforms

This manual has been written for the owners and operators of the Region™ 3 and 7 Treatment Platforms. It contains general instructions for operation, precautionary instructions, and maintenance recommendations. In order to obtain maximum life and efficiency from your Region 3 and 7 Treatment Platforms, and to assist in the proper operation of the unit, read and understand this manual thoroughly. The specifications put forth in this manual were in effect at the time of the publication. However, owing to Chattanooga Group’s policy of continuous improvement, changes to these specifications may be made at any time without obligation on the part of Chattanooga Group. Before administering any treatment to a patient, you should become acquainted with the operating procedures, as well as the cautions, warnings, and dangers. Consult other resources for additional information regarding the application of physiotherapy.

Product Description The Region 3 and 7 Treatment Platforms were designed specifically for the purpose of aiding in the administration of manual therapy techniques and physiotherapy. Enhanced with a scissor mechanism base, the Region 3 and 7 provide a smooth, vertical lift while maintaining a stable surface for the patient. Each table cushion has a slight contour, giving the patient a greater sense of security. Comfortable seated patient positioning can be achieved with the use of the Head Section folding down to 90° and the Back Section pivoting up to 80°. The Chest and Back Sections pivot up to 20° for the most effective position for postural drainage. The integrated retractable caster system allows relocation of the table at any time. This equipment is to be used only under the prescription and supervision of a licensed practitioner. Naugahyde® is a registered trademark of Uniroyal Engineered Products, LLC.

Insert the Gas Spring Release Lever Pivot Pin (Parts Group J) into each hole of the Gas Spring Release Pivot Tab. This will secure the Elevation Lever Assembly to the Back Section base frame. NOTE: A hammer may need to be used to insert the Pivot Pin.

Raise the Back Section base frame completely and allow it to rest on the Chest Section base frame.

Add a Gas Spring Release Lever Pivot Pin Clip (Parts Group K) on each side of both Gas Spring Release Pivot Pins. NOTE: The Pivot Pin Clips (Parts Group K) must be aligned with the Gas Spring Release Pivot Tabs in order for the Gas Spring Release Covers (Parts Group H) to correctly fit over the Pivot Tabs.

Slide the shoulder bolt (Parts Group F) through the base frame and the Gas Spring (Parts Group E) eyelet. NOTE: You may have to engage the Elevation Lever to lower the Back Section in order to align the Gas Spring with the base frame holes.

Using only your fingers, turn the Gas Spring clockwise in the hole until it is snug. Without loosening the threaded end, make sure the eyelet of the other end of the Gas Spring (Parts Group E) is parallel with the table as shown.

NOTE: In this step, you are testing the settings of the Gas Spring (Parts Group E). Leave the shoulder bolt (Parts Group F) loose and do not add the nuts (Parts Group G). Without engaging the Elevation Lever (Parts Group D), try to pull down on the Back Section Cushion using minimal force.

Grasping the shaft of the Gas Spring, rotate the Gas Spring counter clockwise 1 ½ times back out of the Elevation Lever Assembly.

NOTE: If the Gas Spring (Parts Group E) is set correctly, it will be locked, and you should not be able to pull down on the cushion. If you are able to pull down on the Back Section Cushion, remove the shoulder bolt (Parts Group F) of the Gas Spring.

CUSHION/GAS SPRING ASSEMBLY REGION 3 CONTINUED If while engaging the Elevation Lever the Back Section Cushion does not move smoothly to the horizontal position, remove the shoulder bolt (Parts Group F) of the Gas Spring. Grasp the shaft of the Gas Spring (Parts Group E) with both hands and rotate the Gas Spring ½ turn clockwise. Re-insert the shoulder bolt (Parts Group F) and repeat this procedure until you can pull the cushion down smoothly while engaging the Elevation Lever (Parts Group D).

Grasp the shaft of the Gas Spring (Parts Group E) with both hands and rotate the Gas Spring ½ turn counter clockwise. Re-insert the shoulder bolt (Parts Group F) and repeat this procedure until you are unable to pull the cushion down. While engaging the Elevation Lever (Parts Group D), pull down on the Back Section Cushion (using minimal force) so that the cushion is horizontal. NOTE: If the Gas Spring (Parts Group E) is set correctly, the cushion should move smoothly (using some force). Also, keep in mind that the Gas Spring is intended to provide resistance, even when the Elevation Lever (Parts Group D) is engaged. Depending on your level of strength, some people may have to exert more force than others.

Once testing of the Gas Springs is complete, attach the nut (Parts Group G) at the end of the shoulder bolt (Parts Group F). Tighten with the 5 mm hex wrench on one side and the 13 mm (or adjustable) wrench on the other. Repeat steps on pages 17-18 for the Gas Spring (Parts Group E) on the other side of the table.
