Service Notes:
A routine equipment inspection made well before each case will help avoid problems. This check should
include the following:
1. Store the Skull Clamp with the Index Locking Knob in the UNLOCKED position. This practice
will provide the best performance from the knob.
2. While rotating the rocker arm through 360 degrees, lock and unlock the Index Locking Knob.
To ensure proper locking engagement, the Index Locking knob must always be turned to the
lock position. If the Index Locking Knob stops short of the locked position, a slight additional
rotation of the rocker arm should complete the internal alignment and allow the locking
mechanism to engage. If difficulties are encountered, the unit should be returned for service.
3. Check the Ratchet Extension release buttons to be sure that they allow for the Extension to
disengage freely. Press them and move the Extension out of the body portion of the clamp -
do this several times to make sure that it works smoothly and easily.
