The measuring rod seca 240 is attached
directly to the wall. It has a heel plate to en-
sure that the patient is correctly posi-
tioned. The dual track and the large
surface of the head stop ensure that the
height of individuals can be determined
with precision.
The measuring rod is of a very sturdy con-
struction, and will give you long and relia-
ble service.
• When assembling, ensure that screws
are tight and that the rod has been as-
sembled correctly (see "Assembly" on
page 9).
• After measuring height, push the slide
unit back up – risk of injury!
