Warning Disregarding the information concerning the adjustment of the brakes
could result in injury to the patient or physician.
Note If the brakes require excessive tightening or frequent adjustment, refer to the sec-
tion called, “Adjusting the down tube Screws.”
1. Fill the hollow nose of the brass brake pads with Castrol Optipit grease (PN 0682-300-260) and
lubricate the faces of the brake pads with a thin layer of the grease.
2. read the brake screws into position using a 4mm hex wrench. Tighten the brake screws until
resistance is initially felt; this indicates the brake screws are engaged.
3. Tighten the brake screws:
• Shoulder Screws: 1 revolution (360°) past the point of resistance
• Elbow Screws: ¾ of a turn (270°) past the point of resistance
4. Rotate the extension arm to multiple positions throughout its range of motion to check for dri-
ing. If driing is observed, increase the brake force by turning the brake screws clockwise until
the suspension no longer dris.
5. Finally, tighten the brake screw an additional:
• Shoulder Screws: 1 revolution (360°) to allow for brake wear
• Elbow Screws: ¼ of a turn (90°) to allow for brake wear
