OPERATING THE ENHANCED CLEARANCE HEAD PIECE
To operate the articulating head piece, grasp either handle under the head section and squeeze.
•
Handle (A) releases one latch and rotates the head piece on axis "A".
•
Handle (B) releases the other latch and rotates the head section on axis "B".
Note: For ease of operation, it is recommended to release only one latch at a time.
WARNING
•
The weight of the patient's head is resting on the head piece and must be supported by the operator when the
latches are released and the head piece is being positioned. Failure to adequately support the head piece while
positioning the head could result in patient injury.
•
Do not reach between the side of the head extension and the articulating head piece to pull the release handle.
Finger injury could result.
•
To avoid possible pinch points when adjusting the head piece, keep your fingers away from the jointed areas.
