To use this PANNOMED surgery table, first make sure it's properly connected to a 120V, 60Hz power source. Before placing any heavy objects, double - check the 120kg load capacity to avoid overloading. When positioning the table, keep in mind its dimensions of 53' width, 21.75' depth, and 33.5' height. Since it's a used item and hasn't been tested, it's a good idea to perform a basic inspection before use. As for maintenance, regularly clean the table surface to remove any dirt or debris. Wipe away scratches gently with a soft cloth. Because it's for local pickup at the MSU Surplus Store, ensure you have proper transportation and handling equipment to safely move the approximately 250 - lb table.
