2. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLING THE OFFSET UNWEIGHING SYSTEM
In some instances, the Biodex Unweighing System is shipped assembled. To adjust the weight,
refer to step 6. If your system is not assembled complete the following steps.
Tools Required: 9/16" socket wrench, small knife
NOTE: At least two people are required to complete the following procedure. Ensure that the unweighing
system will be assembled on a level surface. Ensure that there is enough room to move easily around the
unweighing system frame during installation.
1. Open the large box to reveal the top frame assembly (horseshoe). Remove the packing from
around the top of the horseshoe. The side with the stop indicator and rope inspection window
should face up from the floor.
2. Using a knife, slice open the box at the corners toward at the foot end of the horseshoe.
3. From the smaller box, remove the left and right support legs. Lay each on the floor next to the
appropriate side of the top frame assembly. Lock both locking casters on each support leg.
4. Select one support leg and rotate it up so that the patient support handle pull pin points
toward the floor. The high edge of the angled cut at the top end of the support leg should face
toward the inside of the top frame assembly.
5. Slide one end of the top frame assembly into the support leg.
6. Slide the other side of the top frame assembly into the remaining support leg as in step 5.
Push both sides of the top frame assembly into the support legs until they reach the desired
height as indicated by the support height label on the outside edges of the top frame assembly.
NOTE: There are four position holes allowing selection for 8, 8.5, or 9-foot and greater ceilings. You must
select the same hole setting for each side. Height should be determined by ceiling height of the area where
the unit will be used. Be aware of exit signs, lights, fire sprinklers, etc. For the 8'6" and 9' settings, use the
supplied slotted screws and lock washers to fill the open holes on each side of the top frame assembly.
7. Secure the top frame assembly to the support legs on each side using a 9/16"socket wrench
to install four sets of finishing washer, lock washer and 3/8" x .5" hex head bolt on each support
leg. At this point, you only need to install the four sets on top of the support legs.
8. With the aid of another person, lift the unweighing system from the top of the horseshoe and
stand it on the support legs.
9. Using a 9/16" socket wrench, install the remaining four sets of finishing washer, lock washer
and 3/8" x .5" hex head bolt (two sets on each support leg.)
10. Snap a black finishing cap into each of the finishing washers (eight in all).
11. Insert patient support handles into the handrail receiving tubes so that they face in toward
the center of the unit.
