not move the rod in a jerking motion. Fold headpiece down when not in use.
Note:
A patient needs to be a minimum of 23-5/8" (600mm) in height for the height to be accurately measured.

slide the headpiece up or down to the
estimated height of the patient. Then raise the

the top of the height rod and gently lower the
headpiece.
