Cervical Distraction
To use Manual Cervical Distraction you
must first unlock the cushion for axial
motion by releasing the red lock pin
(shown in photo 11). Pull and turn the
lever to the left.
Cervical Lateral Motion
The Cervical Flexion Headpiece in-
cludes lateral motion. To use lateral mo-
tion, locate the switch as shown in photo
12 (or 7C). Pull the lever toward you to
click and unlock. This will allow full-
range lateral movement. The headpiece
can also be locked at any angle in the lat-
eral range.

To use the translation headpiece,
loosen the black knob in front of the
headpiece by turning it counterclock-
wise. Push the cushion left or right to the
desired position; turn clockwise to
tighten the knob.
