There are two sizes of White Foam Spacer Pads, a larger one for the Thigh Paddle, and a smaller one for the Calf
Paddle. Apply these first (Fig. 20) and then apply the appropriate Patient Kit Soft Squares (Fig. 21). Next, loosen Thigh
and Calf Support Bar Adjustment Knobs (Fig. 17, Pos. 1, 3, page 13) and position Paddles where appropriate (generally
centered on the thigh and calf).

5.3 Attaching Thigh and Support Slings
First, position the Thigh Sling beneath the patient's leg, then slide Sling through the Thigh Paddle Clips (Velcro® side
down) (Fig. 22), making sure that the split side of the Sling is on the same side as the Paddle Arm. Next, snap the clips
into place on the Clip Posts (Fig. 23) and adjust Sling to patient's thigh.

Equally adjust both sides of the Thigh Sling until there is a finger's width distance between the patient's leg and the
paddle. Repeat this procedure with the Calf Sling.
