HEIGHT ROD INSTRUCTIONS, Cont.
Height Rod Installation
1. Remove Height Rod from shipping
container. Inspect for signs of damage.
Contact Detecto Customer Service
Department if necessary.
2. Remove cardboard insert from height rod.
3. If not already installed, insert the four hex
head screws from the hardware pack into
the holes in the back of the column and
tighten them with the included wrench until
the hex heads are 1/8" from the column.
4. Place both height rod brackets over the
four pre-installed hex head screws and pull
down, securing brackets.
5. Use the included wrench to tighten the hex
head screws. Do not over tighten screws.
Height Rod Operation
1. Before patient steps onto scale platform,
spoon should be rotated to horizontal
position, and raised well above patient’s
apparent height.
2. Patient may now step onto scale platform.
Spoon should be held horizontal and
above patient’s head.
3. Carefully lower spoon, while keeping it
horizontal, until it rests gently on top of
patient’s head. If patient is shorter than 3’
4" (101.5 cm), push latch to right while
simultaneously pushing down on spoon,
until the spoon rests horizontally on top of
patient’s head.
4. Read height of patient as follows:
If back of spoon points to outer height rod,
then it points to correct height.
If back of spoon points to inner height rod,
then correct height is read at top of outer
height rod (see "Read" arrow on outer
height rod).
5. While holding spoon horizontally, raise spoon above patient’s head. Patient may now step
off scale platform. Hold spoon horizontal until patient is clear of height rod.
6. Rotate spoon back to vertical position and adjust height rod back to rest position (i.e. spoon
should be locked in place within inner height rod and inner rod should be at its lowest
position).
