TUBE ROTATION
Because the tube assembly is counterbalanced, no active lock is required. And little ef-
fort is needed to override friction and rotate the tube.
5. Use the collimator handles to position the tube to the desired angle.
D
You may rotate the tube in two directions:
a. clockwise and counterclockwise +180 degrees (detents at every 90 de-
grees), or
b. backwards −10 degrees and forwards +100 degrees (detent at 0 de-
gree). See Illustration 5−3.
