armrest. To return the armrest to the horizontal position, simply pivot the armrest
back down until it latches.
4.5 Headrest Position
The headrest assembly consists of a 2 pivot-articulating clamp as well as a pivoting
pillow mount. The headrest assembly has a very wide adjustment range and can
accommodate any examination situation. The articulating headrest position may be
adjusted as desired by releasing the clamp-locking handle, pivoting the headrest into
position, then re-activating the clamp-locking handle.
4.6 Footrest Retraction
The footrest may be stowed for easier access to the patient, or for closer
examination or surgical purpose. Simply pivot the footrest up by lifting on the
front edge until it clicks into its stowed position.
5.0 ADJUSTMENTS
5.1 Headrest Locking Tension
If the position of the chair headrest has begun to move with the clamp-locking
handle in the locked position, the headrest clamp may require an adjustment.
Follow the instructions below to adjust the headrest assembly.
Headrest Clamp Adjustment
5.1.1 Release the clamp-locking handle. Loosen the Phillips screw in the side of
the clamp body, and then turn the slotted adjustment screw in the end of
the clamp assembly to adjust the clamping tension. (Clockwise for more
tension, counter-clockwise for less tension). Adjust the clamp tension so
that the clamp-locking handle closes easily and the pivots at each end of
the clamp are secure. Repeat the adjustments until the proper adjustment is
achieved. Re-tighten the Phillips screw in the side of the clamp body to
secure the adjustment.
Pillow Mount Pivot Adjustment
5.1.2 Turn the small adjustment screw in the pillow mount clamp to adjust the
pillow mount clamp tension (Clockwise for more tension, counter-
clockwise for less tension. The clamp is properly adjusted when the
headrest pillow position can be adjusted easily, but has enough bind to
remain in the position that it is set to after adjustment.
5.2 Swivel Brake Adjustment
If the chair can be rotated while the swivel brake handle is in the activated
position (parallel to the floor) an adjustment may be required. The swivel brake
adjustment screw is located behind the lift assembly on the underside of the metal
chair seat. If the swivel brake clamping tension is too loose, move the swivel
brake handle to the released position (perpendicular to the floor) and turn the
adjustment screw with an Allen wrench (Clockwise for more tension, counter-
clockwise for less tension) until the proper adjustment is achieved. The swivel
brake is properly adjusted when the chair rotates freely with the swivel brake
released but does not rotate when the brake is activated.
